Love you so much sweetie! Have fun with the last few miles. I'd love to say I can't believe how great you're doing, but I've always believed it. You are amazing! Now back to snuggling with Totty:-)

Well oddly enough I never broke out the iPod on the Long March. Carried that thing all this way and have not used it. There is a certain sound to desolation which while running alone that is quite haunting and mesmerizing at the same time.

Way to go Rob! Thank you so much for taking on this extraordinary and herculean event. Love following your blog and enjoy your storytelling. Note, when my dog wants to make one more loop around the neighborhood, all of which is 1.2 miles, I'm just going to shut up and keep going! #teamrob

You are out of control sweetie! I love you so much! You are killing it. Good luck tomorrow - I know it's the big one. You can do it - just keep swimming. Totty misses your lap - if that doesn't inspire you, what will? Love you cutie!
