WTF does/did he do that he can take a year off to waddle across America?

Seriously. I was planning on this some day if I ever cut back to part time and could take my family. Only it would be a straight shot west to east right over the Rockies.

I heard this and was all, wtf, just go to Subway. Last thing we need is another Jarod pimping Adidas.

What an ass - somebody decides to change their life and do something interesting and courageous, and you feel you have to mock him?

Let us know when you come up with the guts this guy has. :|

So where is this guy's wife and kids? How's he gonna take care of them while on this stupid excursion? This guy doesn't need to walk across the USA to lose weight, an hour a day on the treadmil and an honest day's work would be far more fruitful in attempting to shed weight and to regain his life. Sounds like he's trying to escape his life........

I'm not impressed.......

Would have been better off doing the Appalachian Trail

LOL I was going to say the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail) because he's starting the West. AT is good too. 🙂

Exactly what I was thinking. No way would I ever donate a dime to someone like this. You want to do something courageous? Fine, don't expect people to pay the bills for you. Get a treadmill, watch what you eat, excercise. Go to work, support your family.


Don't trek across america and hope people donate enough money to you so you don't have to work for a year and can afford to not have a job/take care of your family. Oh, and 5 miles a day is NOTHING. Thats 2 hours of walking. Maybe 4 hours if you're fat and slow. There are 24 hours in a day. So whats he doing, walking for 4 hours and resting for 20? Ooh really hard.

might be a better way then risking his house, car and family

I was thinking the same thing.
He is spending a lot of time away from this wife and kids.
