@sambencheghib on July 27th | #Ocean2Ocean has finally started!!! What a magical morning and send off from NYC! I was so inspired by all those who came to support me and run with me today, whether for the first mile or the entire day. I can’t thank you enough! Here’s to a few hundred thousand steps to go, each and everyone of them for the ocean.

@sambencheghib on July 29th | Day 4: loving life on the road. 19 miles in today for a total of 63 miles since Friday morning! Found a good routine by splitting up my runs into two 10-mile runs. Other half of my day is spent planning events along my route. Some exciting ones coming up! NJ, you’ve been great, but PA I’m coming for you!
