Dear Matt, You are doing excellent job. Enjoy every moment.

Well done Matt. Congratulations on climbing another pinnacle and reaching 1300 miles. Your youthful days spent in the tropics of Townsville have certainly prepared you well for the sweltering conditions. You are a sterling example of what courage, faith and determination can achieve. We think of you often, especially when we are on our long training runs (but our distances seem quite insignificant to the miles you clocked up). We wish you all the best in your journey ahead knowing that you are in safe hands. You provide us all with boundless inspiration.

Totally, totally inspired by your daily endeavours. I am speechless seeing how you churn out the miles day after day, after day, after day. It makes my 24 hour efforts seem like a stroll in the park. You are truly showing the world the real meaning of self-transcendence.

to see the mileage churned out every day makes one realise what is possible. The daily totals serve as the ideal inspiration to keep running and running. And by the way "bewdy Matty", and Abichal I hope race next April is not too short for you.
