Going to run all night

I found the story interesting, from the start it had me caught off guard with the whole army scene. At first i really did not know where the story was going to go the way it had started out. But as it evolved it had me thinking the whole time is he going to get caught, is he going to make it and if so would they believe him even if he did get all the way through. I also liked that as Nilson was running he kept his mind wandering on different things to help him get through it. That probably made the time go by as well as the pain and the surrounding environment . Running through the dark with the chance that the enemy could take you out in a second or capture you, would have me thinking about that the whole time, as well as ways that if it did happen what i would do. But for the most part he kept is mind clear thinking about when he ran the Boston Marathon and other factors of is life. That and he had some real courage to run through like that with nothing to help protect himself. He even took off his shoes that just shows that he was determined to get through and let them know.
