  1. A young man named Jonathan Williams will be starting a cross-country run
    from Newport Beach California to Newport Rhode Island on Sunday, May 8.
    If all goes well, the run's duration will be approximately 5 months.

    More details, including his route, can be found on his website
    http://www.runwillyrun.com/.

    If you are on his route, please support his run by offering him your
    backyard to sleep in, a shower, or if you are able, please run along
    with him for awhile. He will enjoy the company (especially in desolate
    sections).

    You can also give him messages of support at his website. You can also
    help by forwarding his website to people you know who live near his route

    Thank you.

  2. is this a joke? on first blush it reminded me of the TV show
    "Seinfeld", a show about "nothing". imo this is a run about "nothing".

    "Overall, I just want to promote the idea of doing something that one
    has never done before or doing something that you like but haven't
    done in a while. It doesn't matter if it's starting to exercise or
    going hang gliding. Just do something as long as it's positive".
    __

    that's a quote from the site. i can't believe he went to a decent
    school like fordham yet is this profoundly unimaginitive. there's only
    1 million and 1 diseases, causes, plights that need attention and fund
    raising...and he can't align with a single one can he? his idea's
    not even original as it's basically stealing/infringement on nike's
    "just do it".

    and this rocket scientist actually sat in a room somewhere and thought
    this brilliant scheme up? and the irony of him stressing "think
    outside the box"? the guy needs to rework is mission/purpose and up
    his game and make it about something tangible and definable.

    let me guess...this is all about laying the foundation of some book
    deal? "my run across america"...becaue i did not have [censored] else more
    worthwhile to do....

  3. You naughty imposter you... I think I'll spank you with that bag I have
    with TWO marbles in it.

    man, i was all set to think the guy was doing something cool and you have be
    all cynical. i think the idea of doing nothing for 5 to 6 months sounds
    pretty good.

    I recall reading a piece in Readers Digest(?) decades ago
    about trans-America races in the 1880s and 1920s,
    but cant find the article.

    This sounds like a great adventure
    and have good time!

    Dayum! All that concrete and asphalt makes me wince. Almost 67 miles/day,
    quite an amazing accomplishment.

    Going for the record may be worth the pure monotony, but a "tour" run across
    america on roads is truely Gump (eg. STUPID) IMO.

    You know he runs a shoe store these days, right? Might be fairly near
    you, I'm not sure about your location.

    Read about him a couple years ago, happened to be headed up that way,
    stopped in and had him sell me my least favorite pair of shoes ever.
    Saucony Grid Web 3 - a brick with laces and EVA - with these rigid
    Superfeet OTC orthotic insoles.

    That was in my early months of adult-onset running, before I figured
    out what I liked (pretty much the opposite: light, flexible, low,
    simple).

    As I recall, a super nice guy, but definitely kinda nutty as you might
    expect from someone who's run across the continent twice.

  14. wasn't there a guy covered in runners' world that did this same thing
    recently (well within the last year or two)???

    It is interesting in a Forest Gump sort of way. I would like to try it
    some day, but I think it would take me much more than 6months.

    Maybe I will check out if he come by this way but likely not.
