2 days left of North America!

During todays stage I caught glimpse of the outskirts of New Yorks
gigantic massive of high rise and people.

Its hard to find comparison with the emotion: I have been on my way
across America for seven months; the USA & Canadian prairies, since
Februarys rainy run up along the West Coast - L.A., San Francisco,
Seattle, Vancouver. Across the high passes of the Rocky Mountains, two
lone months of running on the endless, flat, prairies. Down through the
friendly Mid. U.S. - and now finally; very finally. The last short days.

On this last continent of the run there has been times of exhaustion where
I thought I had gone past what was possible to recover from.

I am amazed by what I have covered. But mostly amazed by the help &
friendship I have enjoyed throughout.

Today it was Peter from Philadelphia who crewed & got me through another
stretch of running :-)
