The FINAL two days!!

May 15th

1 More Day to GO!!!

I ran 33 miles today, so my finish is 18 6/10 miles away tomorrow. 19 miles only! This run will be 2900 6/10 miles. I had some trouble running on a bridge and through an under ground tunnel in Portsmoth. I was lucky to do what I did, but if you chose this route it's illegal to run this 1/4 mile section. It said no pedestrians on the Mississippi Bridge also and I ran it, but again I was lucky. It is a different feeling on the crew tonight, uneasy, excited, and ready to get it done. I have run a long way. We are staying right on the beach in Virginia Beach and the Boardwalk outside keeps Dave on the balcony people watching. 104 days 2882 miles.

Bruce Has Made it Across the U.S.A!
105 Days - 2901 MIles

Well, I don't know how I feel. I thought I would cry and be all emotional but  I feel good and I really believed I could do this. Sometimes at the end of a hard day, I worried I would not be able to get up in the morning but by the graces of God I was able to run every day. I will have more tomorrow after I get my head together. I want to thank everyone who helped me and I will never forget them. Thanks for your E-mails as they inspired me each day. If you think you can do something: you probably can. Go for your dreams no matter what they may be.
