About two weeks ago, I ran my eighth marathon. It was the second in two months, only four weeks after Little Rock. This race featured a 40-foot tower in the middle and about four miles of very rugged terrain. I'm thrilled to report that I survived, and the crushed-stone bike trail kept my quads from getting sore. I was out running the next day! Fun facts are below. You can see the impact of the rough trails in the middle, but I still managed to run my fourth fastest marathon ever.
