37th MARATHON COMPLETED in 37 days

MILE 1 - Currently 42 degrees and mostly sunny. No rain in today's forecast...


MILE 2 - Plenty of sunshine, but this wind is cold!!...


MILE 3 - Some days I do not feel nearly as motivated, today would be one of those days...

MILE 4 - At least there is no rain to deal with today!...

MILE 5 - Today I am going to let the feedback that I get from others carry me...


MILE 6 - Just floating along on autopilot now!

MILE 7 - Motivated or not, the miles are flying by...

MILE 8 - Wind to my back for now...

MILE 9 - Consistency is the goal for today....

MILE 10 - To maintain the same pace every mile...

MILE 11 - First of three convenience store stops completed...

MILE 12 - No coffee at the next one today. Sticking with the pre-run coffee...

MILE 13 - Plus, every time the sun comes out it warms up considerably....



MILE 14 - Time to turn back into the wind. I feel like I have been here before!...

MILE 15 - Now that I am running back into the wind I see why the first thirteen miles felt so easy!...

MILE 16 - Days like this I look forward to the hills here because they are in a heavily wooded area with no wind!...

MILE 17 - So far, the pace has been perfect...

MILE 18 - Still not very motivated. So I guess I will use today as an example that you don't have to be motivated to run a marathon!

MILE 19 - Feet doing O.K. so far today!...

MILE 20 - The day WILL come when I am unable to do this...

MILE 21 - Today is NOT that day! (Thanks for the reminder Kevin!)...

MILE 22 - Second wind at a perfect time...

MILE 23 - Picking up the pace microscopically!...

MILE 24 - Feeling pretty good for a not so motivational day!...

MILE 25 - Almost there!!!!....

MILE 26 - Made it here one step at a time. Sometimes that's what we have to do. Take it one simple step at a time and forget about everything else!

@JefRuns: @jeffreyjmiller1 @NikeRunning @2012milesin2012 @BartYasso that is as many miles as I did, ALL OF LAST YEAR. You are not normal are you?

Kees S. Great race against the rain gods Jeffrey. You are definately the winner. I'll be thinking about you when I run the London Marathon this Sunday.

@kevinbnelson: @jeffreyjmiller1 It's okay to have a day when you don't want to. The good news, you have enough momentum building, you don't get to choose!!

@thedragonstweet: @jeffreyjmiller1 Your a real inspiration my friend an Icon just keep looking after them runnin feet and toes

@JefRuns: @jeffreyjmiller1 wow, I was proud of my 5 but you do that many before you are awake.

@kevinbnelson: @jeffreyjmiller1 some day you will no longer be able to do this. Today is not that day!

@TatumBacchi: @jeffreyjmiller1 NO I ran Disney this year and finished with an overwhelming desire to punch Mickey Mouse! I might do it if I run it again!
