Bienvenido a mis amigos mexicanos querido! Gracias por cuidar de mí tan grande aquí en México.
Mi sitio web tiene una traducción al español la posibilidad!
Por favor, sólo tiene que desplazarse hacia abajo y seleccione el idioma español en la herramienta de TRANSLATE en el lado derecho de mi página de blog. Espero verte en el camino! Tony

I PLAN TO LEAVE TEPIC ON MONDAY MORNING. I HAD BEEN THINKING OF A RELATIVELY EASY WEEK AT THE OFFICE CLOCKING OUT 40′S AND 45′S . BUT AS MAY SEEM LIKELY THEY MAY PUT ME ON THE AUTOPISTA. WITH THAT REDUCED DISTANCE I COULD EVEN BE IN GUADALAJARA BY THURSDAY.

GUUUUAD AH LA HARA!

TO ME THE MERE MENTION OF THE NAME OF MEXICO’S THIRD CITY ALWAYS CONJURES UP MEMORIES OF SOCCER WORLD CUP VENUES OF THE PAST.

I AM SURE THIS CITY HAS MORE TO OFFER CULTURALLY AND IF I GET OFFERED A CHANCE OF A REST DAY THERE I MAY EVEN TRY TO FIND OUT

SO, I AM MAKING A ROUTE CHANGE. I AM NOT GOING TO PUERTO VALLARTA. INSTEAD I AM GOING TO GUADALAJARA. I EXPECT TO RUN THIS SEGMENT OF 220KM IN 5 DAYS AND ARRIVE IN GUADALAJARA ON FRIDAY.

MORE DETAILS LATER.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT, TONY.

Tony;
Guadalajara is a great choice. Very diverse and home to amazing Mariachis. Worth a detour through the town of Tequila (although I know you’re not partaking), but interesting to know where the famed spirit comes from.
Cheers,
Greg

Thanks Chris. I got the Mariachis noted but too bad Tequilla is on the national road 15 for slow drivers and slow runners. They put me on the AUTOPISTA 15d with the fast boys and girls

since Tony began his World Run on 25th October 2010

About Tony

I have always considered myself to be an average runner. In school, I was even bullied for I was a sports wimp. Through hard work, dedication, perseverance, self-belief and a strong mind I succeeded in not only running around the world but breaking four ultra running world records during my competitive career. Having previously cycled around the world I didn't start running until I was almost 30. Then I had a dream of running around the world. For many reasons, I waited for over 20 years. One reason was to establish my pedigree as an endurance athlete. I started and finished my world run as the current World Record-Holder for 48 Hours Indoor Track 426 kilometres (265 miles), a record I have held since 2007. I also broke and still hold the World Record for 48 hours on a Treadmill 405 kilometres (251 miles) in 2008. When I retired from competition, more pleasing than any of my world, European or Irish records I had the respect of my fellow athletes from all over the world - in my opinion, sports greatest reward - an achievement I am most proud of. Then I finally put myself out to pasture, to live my ultimate dream to run around the world! This blog was written on the road while I struggled to find places to sleep and to recover from running an average of 43.3 kilometres or 27 miles per day for 1,165 road days. There were many nights I typed this blog on a smart phone, so fatigued my eyes closed. Many journalists and endurance athletes have referred to my world run as the most difficult endurance challenge ever attempted. During my expedition I rarely had any support vehicles, running mostly with a backpack. In the more desolate areas I pushed my gear, food and water in a cart which I called Nirvana, then I sent her on ahead to run with my backpack once again over altitudes of almost 5,000 metres in the Andes. I stayed in remote villages where many people had never seen a white person before. I literally met the most wonderful people of this world in their own backyard and share many of those amazing experiences in this blog. My run around the world took 4 years. There were no short cuts, I ran every single metre on the road while seeking out the most comprehensive route across 41 countries, 5 continents, I used 50 pair of running shoes and my final footstep of the run was exactly 50,000 kilometres, (almost 31,000 miles) I eventually finished this tongue in cheek named world jog where I started, at the finish line of my city marathon. I started my global run with the Dublin Marathon on October 25th 2010 and finished with the Dublin Marathon on October 27th 2014 at 3 05pm! Thank you for your support, I hope you can share my unique way of seeing the world, the ultimate endurance challenge! Read more...
