Even though I was hours behind you, it brought back hard tough memories, but those memories become special memories and for some reason we look forward to them once again. You are totally correct, without family and friends, we would never be able to accomplish such lofty goals! Bill, Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

You sissy..... All jokes aside, Lydia and I enjoyed being part of Potts/Gillanders Team. You guys did one heck of a job and we are proud of you. I agree with Adam's comments above. Great time with good people! Are you crying in that photo with Lehmann? You sissy…..

You almost brought a tear to my eye. I was glad to be there to see you guys come across the line. A GREAT accomplishment and definitely something to remember for a lifetime. I shook the dust off of my trail shoes today and put in about 4 hours on some of my favorite lonely WV trails. I was thinking about life and friends that I've met through running over the past few years. Running has become the tie that binds me to some of the best and closest friends I think I'll ever have. I'm glad to call you one. Thanks for sharing Bill. You almost brought a tear to my eye. I was glad to be there to see you guys come across the line.
