30th MARATHON COMPLETED in 30 days

MILE 1 - 50 degrees and overcast, very windy so it feels like 40! The forecast is calling for rain and the radar shows it heading this way. Could be a fun day!...


MILE 2 - Since I am expecting rain, it is amazing how greatly I appreciate every mile it is not!!...

MILE 3 - Got a few hours extra rest last night and feeling great!

MILE 4 - I am feeling highly motivated right now because of the amazing feedback I am receiving...

MILE 5 - Keeping a nice and easy pace...

MILE 6 - STILL no rain :)

MILE 7 - The wind, which is gusting, is right in my face right now giving my legs a good workout today, even at my pace!....

MILE 8 - Meaning the wind will be at my back the second half!!!...

MILE 9 - Starting to rain :)

MILE 10 - Blogging under a tree!...


MILES 11 & 12 - What I used to think of as a bus stop, I now think of as a rain day blog spot!...


MILE 13 - Just sprinkling now :)

MILE 14 - If you see a guy running down the street with a cup of coffee in his hand, that would be me!...

MILE 15 - Coffee is gone and so is the rain, life is good!...

MILE 16 - The wind is now at my back and I feel light as air!...


MILE 17 - Drying up and warming up now. I think the rain is done for the rest of the run!...

MILE 18 - Legs and feet feeling great right now!...

MILE 19 - Not often I get to run the last half with the wind at my back. I could get used to this!...

MILE 20 - This is pretty much where the run begins these days...

MILE 21 - Turning into a fairly uneventful marathon and I just realized that this is a good thing....

MILE 22 - Maybe tomorrow I will get to run in the rain more!....

MILE 23 - I think I am starting to get the hang of this!....

MILE 24 - The wind is really picking up and I am really glad I am not running into it!...

MILE 25 - This is finally beginning to feel like auto-pilot, and no, that is not because the wind is at my back, I am going more East and West at this point so the wind isn't at my back now, it is just how I feel right now...

MILE 26 - If I were to measure my progress by one thing, it would be how much spring I have in my step at this point of the marathon. That is exactly what I have been noticing lately. I still have spring in my step where only weeks ago I was dragging. My feet are still tender, but improved.

FINISH - MAP and STATS

1,940 MILES COMPLETED SO FAR IN 2012!
