I HAVE RUN ACROSS AMERICA!!!! December 29 - Day 276, 8.7 miles, the Pacific Ocean in San Diego, CA!!!

I am crying. My bare feet are in the Pacific Ocean and I am crying, alone, staring out into the endless terraces of waves. I hear seagulls and I see the sun’s rays, yet everyone that just cheered me on for the last mile all of a sudden disappeared. All the beaming proud faces were gone and nothing was visceral to me anymore. Their voices, the patterings of their feet, and their presence all disappeared. It was me and the ocean. It was all intrinsic. It was all my own. It was me and the accomplis… Continue

Is THAT the ocean?!?!? December 26 - Day 274, 18.0 miles, Ramona, CA

Am I supposed to be freakin' out right now? Should 33.2 more miles to go be making me cry? Should I be waking up these last few mornings with a sense of accomplishment and pride? Should I be tearing up during my last days? With my run about to end on Tuesday, I have all these thoughts like this - what is this SUPPOSED to be like? Then...I stop in my thoughts and tell myself, "this is not SUPPOSED to be anything...it will JUST BE what it is."

My run is against all the "supposed to-s." My run is… Continue

We’ve been post-it noted!!!!! December 20 - Day 267, 17.2 miles, west of Westmorland, CA

I am in love with the Brawley, CA High School boys and girls Cross Country Teams!!! True love:-) I was able to spend such wonderful time with the girls and some boys last night as we watched “The Long Green Line,” a documentary about the York High School XC coach, Joe Newton (we competed against York in IL in high school!!). It was a special experience to watch this movie, a movie that’s message is, “running is like life...and it gives you life,” with a high school team that reminded me of my ow… Continue

Amusement and Random Stories - December 18, Day 265, 17.4 miles, Holtville, CA

11 days till the Pacific Ocean!!!

I amused myself this morning in a way I never thought would be so funny. Yes, when you are out on the road for double the amount of time it takes to run, you GOTTA find ways to pass the time! HAHA. Here's my story. You know the ladies who powerwalk by swinging their arms to power each step? I mean, super arm swing action. HUGE PENDULUM ARM SWINGS. Ok, you have the picture in your head now? I set off on my walk this morning, still wishing I could run, but, "heck… Continue

A change of pace - December 12, Day 259, 18.3 miles, Wellton, AZ

When the going gets tough, find your inner strength. You don’t know what you have until it’s gone. When you fall off the horse, get back on with a smile. They are all hackneyed sayings yet they ring deep and true when they happen to you.

I have found my inner strength. I have rediscovered my passion and love of running. I have gotten back on the road after it hurt me. All this has happened over the past 6 days when I have not been able to run.

I am walking.

Someone who is running across the c… Continue

Hello Katie,

I heard about your adventure! Congrats! That is such an accomplishment! I wanted to meet you when you were in Tumcumari, NM But I missed you by a few days, stated Bob from Chamber of Commerce in Tucumcari. My father ran route 66 from Chicago to LA for his age category for seniors. 60 to 85. Started in june 2nd and finished Dec. 28th. I hear that you live in Glen Ellyn, IL and we live in Des Plaines, IL It would be such a joy to meet with you about your cause for youth. Here is my e-mail if you would like to meet up Lrduick@yahoo.com Hope to hear form you soon! I hope your knee is getting better!

Take Care,
Lauren

Over a year ago, when first hearing of this, we all thought you were CRAZY Katie! Now we know it to be true. Off the charts crazy with passion, commitment, and, most assuredly, leadership.

Thanks for letting us virtually run along with you!

Katie Down but not out!

FYI..Katie could use our help. As you know by now...she would never complain...but...she is currently a bit hobbled with a knee issue. Headed to PHX for an expert opinion.

Let's let her know we are all behind her and her mission!!!!!!!!!!!
