From my perspective it's amazing that people have so much confidence in me to finish this 500k run in 9 days or less. I appreciate all of those votes of assuredness I've received. My Mom is among the highly confident, perhaps even the most confident. She’s quite sure I'll be in Bentonville at the finish line (her driveway) by Sunday, April 26th at 2pm. Just in time for a party! You don't think my mom is biased, do you?
Great news: You're invited! I’ll give it my best to be there with you (on-time, of course). A little confidence can go a long way, so let’s hope “a long way” = 311 miles or more! Oh, and THANKS MOM!
Mom's invitation follows:

" Anything that I’ve ever done that ended up worthwhile, initially scared me to death. Whether it was walking out on stage for that very first time, or asking a girl to include me in her plans for the future, but you know what? You have to risk everything sometimes or you risk even more. It’s not the challenges we face that define us, it’s the actions we take."

Thanks Alex! I like that a lot.

Great quote, Alex! We'll run into some challeges for sure, but hopefully we'll finish in Arkansas stronger than before.
