10 hours more to taiwan. it’s not so much fear and apprehension as just wanting to get this thing over and done with now. too many people have survived for me to make any excuse not to go through with this thing. it’s going to be different, maybe some fun, but definitely different. i could [...]

skipped the 6km fast march nightmare yesterday. haha the doctor gave me one day excuse lower limbs.
