Today was loops 37 through 48.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I know it\u2019s the same route but it felt much longer each time round.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was slower today, somewhat by design yet mostly by necessity. My legs are dog tired, shot through with pain at each footfall. This does not bode well for Bataan. Some veterans of the run remind me that there\u2019s a 7.5 mile \u201cgradual\u201d hill and that there\u2019s a sand pit around mile 22. I tried to \u201cla-la-la\u201d not listen but I think my legs heard the warning.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the end I put up a 4:04-ish marathon today. It felt much longer, both in distance and in time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was the 48th time this week that I viewed the aid station\/finisher\u2019s table.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this is a poorly framed \u201cbling\u201d shot of the week\u2019s medals.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tomorrow is another day, another marathon.<\/p>\n

The alarm is set for 3 am.<\/p>\n

I doubt my legs will be rested by then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
