HI Hollon, I have mixed memories of our sunrise AR training run together. You motivated me on the up because 1. I hate running and 2. I already did my double up on Camelback right before we set off so I wasn't quite the bouncing bunny you were that day. I must say I learned alot from that experience. For one, I will always trust my gut level feelings from now on, sensing that something isn't right and acting on it. Also, always tell someone where I am hiking or biking, just incase. I'm so proud of you and although we didnt know each other that "marked day" in our lives I feel as if you are a sacred story to tell. It's a blessing that you made it Hollon and you were an IronMan just to survive the trauma that you endured. Congrats to you my friend!

Congratulations Hollon. What an inspiration!

Great job, Hollon! Yes, it is a journey but more so a right of passage now that you've crossed the finsh line. All the best, Grant Patrick Smith

Found the guestbook! I can't wait to see what you set for your goal the next go-around? What an amazing 'adventure' to achieve.

I had so much fun watching you at ironman Arizona. It is way better when you know people particpating. Good job!!

Well, a blast from the passed! It appears as if we are still doing the same old things. Running around and maybe not getting into trouble any more but running. So gald to hear you are well. I'm not up to your level of fitness, 1/2 marathon's are my forte, just getting into Tri's God Bless. Scott

Man! You were looking strong as you ran by! For those reading this blog: Hollon was out of the water at an hour and 15 minutezs. On the bike for 5 hours, 30 minutes and zoomed past us with a smile on his face!

Thank you Lord for your grace in power today."Be blessed for our God still is good andvery merciful in that for give and heal in Christ, so take in you new healing and joy and go an and win ,thanks and bless and pray,keijo sweden

We pulled up to Dilly's Deli earlier this week at about the same time. Saw your AZEndurance.com sticker and thought I'd check it out! Crazy story. Glad to see you are still at it after all your challenges. Good luck in November, in my eyes, you are already an Ironman!

Hollon, I hope we'll be able to see you in November. We are praying for you. Love you man.

Hollon, you are the man. If good luck in the race I know you will do well.

Hollon, Thank you for sharing your passion. You have inspired me!

Hollon YOU ROCK!!!! Canâ??t wait to see you blow through the Rock N Roll Marathon this month and the IRON man in 2009. you're a true inspiration

I like the web site. Good luck in the Rock n Roll 1/2 !!

Amazing! If you need a place to stay during high altitude training you are more than welcome! Kudos!

Hey Hollon' Just was trying to catch up on some of your blogs, very awesome you are doing some great workouts, I am so jealous ;-) I cant wait til my knee is healed so I can start running soon. Well, hope soon to catch up to you maybe by March?? Hope to see you soon, Kelly

Hollon, Does not surprise me to see you following this quest. Best of luck and let me know if you ever need a safety boat.

Hi Hollen- I am a friend of a friends, Kim and Christine, I know them from biking Sundays. I had to read your store, quite inspirational and unbelievable!! Ironically enough I had a little tiny accident compared to yours today while running trails at Mcdowell Mtn sunrise. A few stitches and knee brace later I will be fine. That is awesome that you are signed up for Ironman 2009, crazily enough I have been contemplating the same. Well, good luck to you, go for it!! You are a survivor and an inspiration to all!! Kelly

Hollon I still think you are crazy, but you still, I think, take after me, your old (90) uncle Hollon. My doctor calls me an aberration. Welcome to the club. We all have faith in your ability. Me, Jane, and the one who is in charge of our life. Go for it!

i am so impressed i can not express to you. like i said i will be one of your supporters and cheer you on. i could do the water and the run but the bike...... ahhhhhhhhh no. i have never been good at that. i am so proud of you. love you barb

Hollon, WOW! You are more amazing than I could have ever imagined. Looks like you've already come along way. Good luck to you and God Bless You on your journey....

Hollon - I was fortunate enough to come across your website today and I too was "inspired" by your perseverence. Your determination is unmatched! Godspeed my friend! Keep in touch.
