No, I'm not Laz ... he's a little older and bit more gruff.
At mentioned way back at the beginning of this thread - the Geezers dispatched by the Ultralist did not set out with the intent to run with Mr. Young, but to observe his progress, unannounced, over several days to determine if he is actually running the distance and doing so at a rate that supports the daily mileage being posted during the first part of the venture. The idea was not to interfere in any manner with his effort.
Completely separate from the Geezer undertaking, Joe Fejes is planning to go run with Mr. Young at the end of this week - if Mr. Young gets back on his schedule, this should occur somewhere around the Ohio - WV line.
