It's nice to meet you
Hi
I'm Joshuaine
(you can call me Josh)
This is me, in my favorite striped hat, with my life partner Shan. He runs far (really, really far). I run far, too, but I bike even farther. I've always been drawn to big adventures, including a cycling traverse of Vermont, an adventure in Death Valley, and lots of mountain biking in hot spots like Kingdom Trails, Asheville, Moab, and Bentonville. Luckily, I have friends who are happy to join me and - even better - have crazy ideas of their own. This means there is always an adventure on the horizon. I created this blog to highlight an expedition Shan and I are planning - a bike-supported run across the country to raise money and awareness for the East Coast Greenway.


East Coast Greenway Expedition
On April 16th, 2022 we plan to embark on a bike-supported run on the East Coast Greenway, a partially finished multiuse path that runs from Key West, FL to the Canadian border in Maine. This will be my first cross-country trek and Shan's second run across America (first time was West to East). The expedition will be a test of our physical abilities, mental endurance, and organizational skills. We're using this journey to raise awareness (and money) for the East Coast Greenway Alliance and to help promote a healthy lifestyle for runners, walkers, and cyclists.
And, let's be honest, it's also an awesome way for us to share our passions (for running and cycling), in a complementary way, while doing something meaningful and making some amazing memories together. I am truly excited to see how we weather this challenge together.
In my blog posts and photos, I hope to capture the essence of our 2022 expedition - the planning of the trip, the epic-ness of the execution (the ups and the downs), the excitement of success, and the joy and satisfaction in reflection. Even with the amazing spreadsheet I have built, I have no doubt we will encounter hiccups, challenges, and technical difficulties along the way. I think we're ready for it, though.
I hope you enjoy our journey as much as we do!
