March 28, 2020 – The Irving Marathon (AKA Covid 19 Marathon Deux)

The stars at night were big and bright… but I was NOT deep in the heart of Texas.

As the Irving Marathon was cancelled (technically changed to a virtual run), my weekend plans to fly into Dallas and see some friends between running didn’t quite pan out.

So me being me… I went for my second Covid-19 Remote Marathon. I don’t know what I would have seen in Irving (I hadn’t prepped the route courtesy of their website or sought things to do in the area courtesy of Roadside America). But I really took in the sights here in Central Florida…

…I regret not re-routing my plan through Disney Springs and the Disney Property that is close enough that I could have done it. I don’t know if they’d have allowed me to run there or I would have wound up in Disney Jail with Captain Hook and that guy who stole Buzzy from Cranium Command.

Two loops of a flattened figure 8.  I was doing well and then… well… I finished.  That’s what matters, yeah?
