Many thanks to the Texas folks for the excellent pictures and narrative. Have you noticed that in every picture Ryan's the one who seems to be having a blast? The guy's irrepressible! It's encouraging to see this far into his journey that he still has his initial enthusiasm. That, and not conditioning, is what will let him pull this off. It's the intangible part we don't always take into account when declaring what's possible. Not that he isn't physically up to the task. The guy looks ripped!

Ryan, when you have time to read this, here's to you and your journey. Don't stop!

Merry Christmas to all!
