Stage 5

Hey All,
I finished the long march. It was one of the toughest runs/marches/hikes I have ever done. What drives me? What do I think about? It's allways changing. Ask me sometime I will do my best to answer. But there is a huge line for the computer so I must go. See you all soon
Stage 4

All right folks,100 miles done! Today we were granted a wee reprive from the sun as we had cloud s for a good portion of the day. Why do I not feel like the race is drawing to a close. For some reasons I'm not so sure I want it to end, be there are so many more reasons I want to be done! I'M HUNGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!! My nutrition has been good. Bland but good. I am always looking around, thinking there food looks better than mine. The folks in camo are all very nice. Kinda strange to see so many cameras around. There are at least 4 film crews and it's a good thing we don't have smell-a-vision camp is getting kinda ripe. I will say the doctors and volunteers are some of the nicest people around. Your messages have been inspiring.

I am a lucky man. I have so many good people in my life. Some I have known since I was a kid and some I have had the privilage to meet recently. Keith M, Del D. Owen D, Erik A, you are all bad asses in my world. I have the most amazing partner that I draw so much strength from. Shana, I could not do this without your support and understanding. I'm off to get some rest and fuel up for tomorrows 50 miles.
Cheers Willem
