@sambencheghib on January 7th, 2020 | The hardest part of this run is behind me and with less than a month to go, the finish line is creeping up on me. I can’t wait to finish this adventure and jump into the ocean.
Thank you @hntrwilliams for capturing these difficult moments. Miss you brother 🎥

2485/3018 MILES

@sambencheghib on January 13th, 2020 | Sometimes no matter how hard you try to do everything right, you get unlucky. My body has handled the past 2,500 miles really well but unfortunately my left foot gave up on me, with only 19 days to go. My left Achilles’ tendon flared up and now every step I take hurts. I only have 450 miles in front of me before making it to LA so I won’t let this slow me down. I’ll be pushing through with these walking sticks, one step at a time, doing 24 miles a day until I finish this thing. I have an appointment with the Pacific Ocean on February 1st that I refuse to miss!

For the oceans.
