Time to run

It's been about nine weeks since we finished hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. I've used that time to do a little running in an attempt to stay in shape. Adrian has taken "a little running" to another level.

Adrian participated today in the Tucson Marathon and ran the 26.2-mile distance in 3 hours 19 minutes. That's 15 minutes better than his last marathon in Appleton, Wis.

Here's where it gets good. This is one of two "training" runs for a 50-mile run he's wants to try in March.

I don't get it. We hiked the same trail. All 2,663 miles. I can run maybe 5 miles in a stretch. Adrian is running marathons.
