Tallahassee - May 4, 2012 - 11:45pm

Fifty-five year old John Pyle is from Sarasota, Florida. He runs more than 40 miles a day for the Patriot Run Across America.

He stopped in Tallahassee Friday night. He's 66 and about 2,500 miles into his journey raise awareness for the men and women in our military.

"If anybody has any questions about the health of patriotism in this country just grab a flag and run down the street with it one time, you'll see that patriotism is alive and well in this country," says Pyle.

The finish line for this run is in the Florida Keys. When he gets there, Pyle plans to run in the Keys 100 Mile Run. So far, he's run in more than 70 marathons.

Have a Safe Halloween Night

Before your ghosts and goblins trick or treat this year, parents should keep in mind some safety tips.

Carry a Flashlight ~ A glow bracelet, necklace, or flashing attire also work well for visibility.
Plan Route in Advance ~ Trick or treat in familiar neighborhoods or areas.
Only Visit Lit Houses ~ Residents who do not wish to be bothered by trick or treaters often leave off their lights.
Accompany Your Children ~ If they are older and trick or treat without an adult, set firm rules and have them carry a cell phone.
Think Practical for Costumes ~ Be sure a child's mask allows full visibility and breathing.
Inspect All Candy ~ Never allow children to eat candy before it is inspected and throw away anything that is opened.
