The El Reno (Okla.) Tribune caught up with him a few days ago. The 71-year-old man who’s trying to jog the length of Route 66 in 13- and 14-mile chunks had to slow his pace to six to seven miles a day because of a nerve injury in his leg.
His daughter Lauren had taken a six-month leave of absence from her job to help him. However, she’s set to return to work by the time Duick hits California, and she’s hoping someone else can assist him to Santa Monica. If you’re interested, you can e-mail her at lrduick(at)yahoo(dot)com.
I sure hope you make it!!!
