So, what’s next? Whatever it is, sign me up, will you?

Spectacular feat, my friend! What an honor to have been on the road with you those three days.

Very best regards to you, Heather, Paul, Kate and Brian,

One final quote to the guy who has inspired me more so than anyone I’ve ever met in my life. This came from Runners World today!

“The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win.”

I have no friggin idea how you completed that journey, but you did, and lived to tell about it! I hope we meet again!

Go dog!

A postscript to your amazingly successful journey.

Just saw you, the lovely and radiant Heather and family photos at the finish line. Man you really look strong. Good to see your warm an fuzzy smile that everyone just loves.

Oh, yes, Chris Frost tells me that you are going to speed walk the zillion stairs inside the Empire State Building today? He believes you probably could use a tad more hill training.

Ha! What does he know? I told him you were really going to do some Big Apple sight-seeing by running the New York City Marathon course. Makes more sense to me.

If you two happen to be in the MT Whitney, Lone Pine area in the next few months (before Badwater), maybe we could have a celebration bash at the Seasons Restaurant (dinner and one beer, well, maybe two or three or… should do it), with all your West Coast friends and fans…….Ben and Denise, Phil and Kari, Rick Nawrocki, Chris Frost and Anna, Lisa Bliss and the Batchen’s, Christine and Art (that’s me) and others.

Just a (good) thought.

And, you don’t have to climb the mountain, either. Well, if you insist, we will do that too, or, maybe, just fun run the Badwater course, or do a serious double. Gads!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the last fifty-two days and the honor to take a peek into your steel determination, over the top tenacity and mind boggling daily mileage as you trekked across this beautiful country.

Inspirational!! Well, the lovely Christine told me now that Marshall has finished, I have to get off my duff, move away from the comfort zone of this computer and go chase the dream I have always had. And, it is all your fault. Yeah!!!

One last kudo (or two): magnificent, extraordinary, amazing, inspirational, a more than impressive record breaking performance and much, much more……….. WELL DONE.

Go Marshall !!!! Oops, I guess you can stop now.

A huge hug to you and Heather.

Love from Christine and Art

You know how I love quotes, and I have to quote you on last nite. Taken and slightly revised from your everest/running america youtube video.

“What an awesome time I had” at your finish last nite in NYC. You are so inspiring! Heather is such an angel, really!

“What an epic journey” you had!

Thanks,

Hope to see you again, and I hope you’re still sleeping in today!

Thanks so much for being a wonderful inspiration to our students! You truly have shown us all that “limitations are only in our heads”!
