Five States down, Six to go.

The 2000 mile run is now in Ohio

Rusty strapping his shins

Three men, eleven states and 2000 miles. We've been following Rusty Tolliver, Scott Jenkins and Rhys Jenkins as they run from Boston to Austin to raise money for several causes that are close to their hearts. Having run through Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania we gave Rusty an early morning call, whilst Scott and Rhys slept in. He told us about the highs and the lows so far.

The lows:

- how to cope with shin splints

- tackling the mountains

- getting along with running partners who have different body clocks, sleeping patterns and running pace.

The highs:

- Amazing scenery

- The friendship and hospitality of complete strangers

- Camaraderie and hard work of the running and driving team
