I had interviewed Chris in April when the dream of running across America was just that, a dream inspired a few years previously by reading James E Shapiro's book 'Meditations from the breakdown Lane: Running Across America...

And here he was back to be interviewed again having achieved the dream and the most poignant finale was that James Shapiro was on the beach on Coney Island on November 5th to greet Chris and his friend and running companion Steve Pope.

On November 6th they lined up for the New York Marathon and ran 3.38 having run 42 miles every day since setting off from San Francisco on August 17th.

They had to overcome many hurdles along the way, the challenge of the weather for one and Chris being injured across a whole state!

Chris and Steve are raising money for Help the Heroes.

But this was a dream that had burned in Chris's heart for some years and he lives by the same philosophy as me, that it is important to live a life without regret for the things that you wish you had done.
