47th marathon completed in 47 days

Mile 1 - 7:10 a.m. 45 degrees and cloudy. Perfect...


Mile 2 - Hardly any wind today...

Mile 3 - Today I break in the second pair of new shoes...

Mile 4 - Like yesterday, the shoes feel extremely comfortable at the beginning...


Mile 5 - If they felt this good the whole distance I would be a very happy man...

Mile 6 - Not even a light breeze today...

Mile 7 - The extended forecast looks like this may be an exciting week...


Mile 8 - The river is even calm!...

 \

Mile 9 - I can already tell that I am gonna take too many pictures today!...

Mile 10 - Running through the park....

Mile 11 - The new shoes still not hurting too much...

Mile 12 - Just another day in paradise...

Mile 13 - Half-way there :)


Mile 14 - Pretty much back into pain management mode...


Mile 15 - One mile at a time at this point...


Mile 16 - The scenery helps...


Mile 17 - I am actually looking forward to the completion of this run!...

Mile 18 - No choice but to "suck it up" and keep going...


Mile 19 - I almost caught a snake where the last photo was taken!...


Mile 20 - Made it out of the marsh...

Mile 21 - Heading south now...

Mile 22 - This has gradually become one of the most difficult marathons yet. Pain off the chart...

Mile 23 - I actually picked up ibuprofen at the convenience store and that is literally something I never do!

Mile 24 - The pain is temporary...

Mile 25 - Time to practice some deep breathing exercises....

Mile 26 - This IS insane :)

Finished!!!
