...just wanted to say...
This has been an amazing 9-week journey which I've been privileged to take. The very best part - the one thing that has kept me going through some very painful and bleak miles - has been the connection to everyone who's been reading this blog.
Every morning, when the 4am alarm goes off, I first turn on my phone and read comments & emails, and on many occasions I swear it has enabled me to face "just one more day" on the road. I didn't want to let you guys down!
So THANK YOU for all the kind words and thoughts, and don't underestimate the power they had over this weary soul.
Gratefully yours, as I head to one last starting line,
Russ

Just had to make us Teary eyed before we got bed, didn't you!
Lots going on sunday... Your last stage, Rogue's 3rd and last trail race and over 60 austinites are partaking in Ironman Coeur D'Alene!
Congratulations Russ. You are an inspiration to many. Enjoy those last miles as we all head to bed.
Have a great home stretch, Russell -- and thanks for including us on this amazing journey of yours.
It has been such a privilege getting to 'experience' your race with you. Thank you for letting us join you on your amazing run.
Enjoy your last stage tomorrow and celebrate at least as many days as you ran!
Way to go Russ - I am not even sure how to put into words how impressive this is.
Looking forward to seeing the photo of you crossing the finish line, Russ. Way to go. Our minds are blown. We knew you could do it, but actually *watching* you do it (however vicariously) is still pretty much stunning.
Or, more briefly: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw!!!
Yeah Russ. Well done man. I can't think of anything on the internet to read now.
Well done, Russell! You're awesome!
I can't sleep! Bring it home Russ. Bring it home.
Russell, a short note to say that your endeavour has been inspirational, your blog has been both educational and humorous. Congratulations and enjoy the last day (and the sleep -in tomorrow)
Russ, you are an inspiration! Thank you. It is a thrill to follow you each day on your blog. Bring back a reindeer!

Congrats, Russell!
An amazing accomplishment. It's been an honor to follow you on your journey.
Enjoy your final stage, Father's Day, & summer solstice.
