The poor kid in that stroller...

I pushed that stroller for about 20 miles, and it gave me a newfound appreciation for Dick Hoyt pushing Rick. I would estimate Tony's rig weighs about 75 pounds, and even with a very nice suspension it was a pretty good workout pushing it over rolling New England terrain. I can't imagine how hard it was to push it over the Rockies on tired legs.
I imagine he'll have to load up on water to make the trek across Mexico, even a relatively minor change like that requires some thought. The more I think about this trip, the more mind boggling the logistics become.

Tony's still at it, he has now crossed over into South America after 14,024 kilometers in 320 days. Amazing stuff, run Tony, run!
North America has been conquered
And he's the world record holder with 48 hours straight on a treadmill, 251 miles. I can't run a on a treadmill for 48 minutes.
