Mile 2 - Yesterday was the toughest run to date. I do not believe the problem was the shoes, because left foot felt great. I think I tweaked something on the trails a few days ago. This is good because I will keep it light and easy and allow it to heal...
Mile 3 - It was not pretty, but a confidence builder for me. I was basically running/walking with a limp the last seven miles yesterday. Feeling good right now!...
Mile 4 - I just met up with Eric, my running partner, and he is preparing for a 50k in a few weeks....
Mile 5 - So today he is planning to gett around twenty miles. This is real good for me. I am lucky to have the company...
Mile 6 - Heading south of town for a change of scenery...
Mile 7 - We should get some good pictures today...
Mile 8 - So far, so good...
Mile 10 - This is like running through a postcard...
Mile 11 - Feet holding up fantastically so far...
Mile 12 - Momentarily lost my map (must have went off the grid!)...
Mile 13 - These miles are just flying by. What a difference it makes having a running partner....
Mile 14 - It is beautiful out here...
Mile 15 - Heading back east toward the bluffs...
Mile 16 - The wind is starting to pick up significantly...
Mile 17 - Back on the highway...
Mile 18 - Wind has been at our back since heading back to the north...
Mile 19 - The body is amazing, yesterday at this point I was unable to run without a limp and right now my average pace is 12:08 per mile and I am floating along comfortably....
Mile 20 - Back on the south side, warming up nicely now (upper fifties)...
Mile 21 - Still feeling fantastic...
Mile 22 - This is turning out to be one of the best marathons out of the last 48!...
Mile 23 - Dropping off my running partner who made all the difference on today's marathon...
Mile 24 - These final miles are solo, but feel good enough to maintain a twelve minute mile to the finish...
Mile 25 - Almost there...
Mile 26 - I simply cannot believe the difference between yesterday and today. This might be my best finish time of the 48. I will have to look that up. Much mote importantly, I feel amazing right now!
