46th marathon completed in 46 days

Mile 1 - 8:28 a.m. 39 degree and sunny for now. Forecast is calling for rain in a few hours. Today's high is 61 degrees so it should be a little bit warmer than yesterday...

Mile 2 - Perspective is everything...

Mile 3 - There is ALWAYS a reason not to do something...

Mile 4 - But you only need one good reason to do it.... (I am feeling quite motivated today)....


Mile 5 - I managed to mix in a little trail running already...

Mile 6 - The temp has warmed up nicely already!...

Mile 7 - On the concrete trail to the shoe store...


Mile 8 - Time to change my tires (almost 1,200 miles on the last four tires (2 pair) in the last 45 1/3 days)....

Mile 9 - Tires are replaced. Heading south into the marsh...


Mile 10 - It's a great day to be alive!...


Mile 11 - Nothing like paved trails through the marsh to give the best of both worlds...


Mile 12 - Meeting up with my running partner. Now the running will get much easier!...


Mile 13 - Clouding over...

Mile 14 - Perfect pace....

Mile 15 - Heading east over the river...


Mile 16 - Feeling pretty good overall...

Mile 17 - Another beautiful day in the park...

Mile 18 - Feet feeling a little tender at this point as usual...

Mile 19 - Wind now picking up...

Mile 20 - Heading further south east...


Mile 21 - Dropped off Eric with only six miles to go...

Mile 22 - My feet are a little worse than normal right now, it is to be expected switching shoes...

Mile 23 - It almost started raining, but I only felt a few drops then nothing...

Mile 24 - More perspective for today... "...for those that ran marathons in the UK today, gale force winds and torrential rain!"...

Mile 25 - Almost there and still no real rain here!...

Mile 26 - Another marathon in the books!!!
