Where's Phil?

According to his daily blog, Phil Keoghan is in Hagerstown, MD, for the night. For the past 37 days, this suave and athletic Kiwi -- host of one of my favorite shows (The Amazing Race) and creator of the inspiring and adventure-filled No Opportunity Wasted series -- has been riding his bicycle across the U.S. to raise money and awareness for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

As reflected in the No Opportunity Wasted campaign, he lives by the philosophy of turning thought into action, carpe diem. "No more shoulda, coulda, woulda. Think big, challenge yourself, ditch the excuses,... live life NOW. Think. Write it Down. Then Do." (Reminiscent of wise Yoda's "Do or do not. There is no try.")

Phil began his 3500-mile cross-country trek in L.A. on March 28. He's due in NYC on May 9, which means he's averaging 100 miles a day. As of today, he has covered 3,152 miles. Tomorrow,... onwards to Washington, D.C.

Thinking about that list...
