It may come as no surprise to some that today's entry into the A to Z series is ‘E’ is for endless roads. It's now very obvious to me that the USA 2025 route was the most difficult that I’ve attempted so far around the world. Mountains, rough terrain, difficult weather conditions and the extreme daily distance were the usual adversaries. Those long endless roads that tend to disappear into eternity would drive you mad if you let them.
It’s always a tough physical challenge to run thousands of miles. The mental fortitude required is in the extreme. With nothing but the sound of footsteps and the vast open sky above, these endless roads become a place where determination and tenacity battles distance and monotony.
The images are in sequence beginning in New Jersey winding their way all through to Utah.
I hope you get an appreciation of what I was up against. That’s against a backdrop of painfully disintegrating feet too.
It’s no wonder that so many kind people bought into what I was doing and made a donation to St. Benedict’s Hospice. If you’d like to do the same then please visit https://www.justgiving.com/page/rungeordierun2025.
