51st marathon in 51 days completed

Mile 1 - 8:25 start time. 63 degrees and cloudy. High today around 70 making for a perfect day for a marathon...

Mile 2 - A little humid already, but there is a light breeze balancing it out...

Mile 3 - Legs and feet feel excellent right now!...

Miles 4 & 5 - My good days / difficult days seem to alternate. Today I feel excellent...

Mile 6 - Heading down to the river...

Mile 7 - No sunshine yet today and for what I am doing this is a very good thing...

Mile 8 - Time for some pictures...

Mile 9 - It is not as picturesque when it is overcast, but it is definitely more comfortable...

Mile 10 - The breeze today feels amazing...

Mile 11 - I hope that I feel this good on Sunday (I will be running my first marathon event! - "The LaCrosse Fitness Festival Marathon")

Mile 12 - I just hope that the seven thousand miles plus that I have logged including one hundred and ten 26.2 + mile runs (59 in a row in 2010 and 51 in a row after today is complete) have prepared me for Sunday!!!...


Mile 13 - The light breeze has become a fairly strong, cool wind out of the north...

Mile 14 - That wind will be perfect for the last third of today's marathon since I will be heading back to the south...

Mile 15 - Body holding up better today up until this point...

Mile 16 - Back on my side of the river...

Mile 17 - Riverside park is one of my favorite places to run...

Mile 18 - On to my second favorite place, the marsh...

Mile 19 - Time to look for snakes!...

Mile 20 - Only found one snake!...

Mile 21 - Back in the residential area, heading south...

Mile 22 - Starting to feel a little tired!...

Mile 23 - Must conserve energy for Sunday...

Mile 24 - Picked up some running shoes for my son and now he can help me finish these marathons...

Mile 25 - And just like that, with a running partner, it gets much easier....

Kahlen (my son/pacer)

Mile 26 - I am an incredibly lucky man to have such a great family that support this dream.
