Had the pleasure of hosting this guy last night. Short version, he's a 60 year old ultramarathon runner from New Zealand currently running across the US. He's averaging 60 miles or so each day and has been doing so every day for the last month, starting on the steps of the city hall in NYC.
Last night he ran into my hometown escorted by some of the cross country kids who ran the last several miles with him. Brought him to my folk's house and fed him a proper Texas steak dinner. He ate 3 steaks and drank a few Buds while we talked about rugby and Aggie Football. He was proud to take a picture with my hat on and give us a Gig'em and said he hoped we'd BTHO Miss. St!
Here's some stuff if you're interested in following the rest of his journey or contributing to the kids charities he's raising money for.
