25th MARATHON COMPLETED in 25 days

Every author needs a platform, here's mine;  I AM running a marathon every day until I become the first American to complete 365 marathons in 365 days AND until I sell 100,000 copies of my book that motivates, inspires and challenges you to make EACH day count for just one year.  

654 miles in 25 days and 1,808 miles in 2012

MILE 1 - This will definitely go in the books as the earliest marathon completion time to date for me regardless of the pace.  I will be starting in the very early hours of the morning so I can have the entire day free to enjoy Easter with the family

MILE 2 - 44 degrees, perfect running temp!...

MILE 3 - It's very quiet out here!...

MILE 4 - Running at a nice and easy pace...

MILE 5 - I can't believe it's mile 5 already!...

MILE 6 - It's a clear night under an almost full moon...

MILE 7 - Legs and feet feel way better than yesterday...

MILE 8 - Karnazes was on to something with this night running!...

MILE 9 - Now that is about 2 a.m. It is getting real quiet out here. Though I have seen four rabbits already!...

MILE 10 - Air temp seems to be cooling off considerably,,,

MILE 11 - Keeping a perfect pace...

MILE 12 - Practicing presence is easy this time of the day...

MILE 13 - I cannot get over how much easier this is at night than in the day...

MILE 14 - Unfortunately I have not been able to take any pictures yet!...

MILE 15 - The birds are finally beginning to chirp, though it is still dark outside...

MILE 16 - Stopped at a convenience store, had to choose between Gatorade or coffee, should have got the coffee!...

MILE 17 - Next chance I get I am getting some coffee!...

MILE 18 - Feet now feeling the miles...

MILE 19 - I now have coffee. Life is good!...

MILE 20 - Time for that coffee induced second wind!...

MILE 21 - Just saw my fifth Easter bunny for the morning!...

MILE 22 - Seriously, I just saw rabbit number six! What's with all the rabbits this morning!?...

MILE 23 - Finally got to take some pictures!...

MILE 24 - And now the sun is up and it looks like it is going to turn into a gorgeous day!...

MILE 25 - The coffee that I had a few miles back worked like magic!...

MILE 26 - My feet hurt, aside from that I feel outstanding. Looking forward to having all day to spend with my family. Have a great Easter!

FINISH - MAP and STATS

 (For the record, I accomplished my goal, I made it back to the house before anyone was awake!)

  1. Much respect. I followed the Belgian (Mr Marathon) as he did this and you have set yourself a daunting task. I wish you every success...
