Getting the Legs Ready After recovering from a broken toe in December and COVID in early February, Shan is back on his feet. He has been running 10-15 miles most days with some 35-45 milers throughout the week (check him out on Strava here ). He practices a training philosophy of running for a purpose (i.e. pick up a prescription, get groceries, etc.). His training runs include sightseeing along country roads, runs to the track, cul-de-sac tours, and grocery-getters. All of t

~ Our Daily ~ The general strategy is for me to bike and Shan to run ~40 miles per day, making fuel stops throughout the day (breakfast, lunch, drinks).

I cautioned him that it won't be like his first USA crossing, where Callie met him regularly in the camper van with food and water, like a mobile, on-demand ai

I love the idea of epic adventures—especially the kind that make people pause and say, “Wait…what? That doesn’t sound fun.” And I found a person who also loves adventures that toe the line between bold and bonkers, and make just enough  sense to be worth doing. That’s where the good stuff lives. The next adventure is a bike-supported run along the full length of the East Coast Greenway. Shan will be running. I’ll be riding my bike, hauling all our gear, cheering him on, and a
