Running A Marathon Through The Middle Of The Night
















  1. I just yesterday had the (unimplemented) idea that I should run 26 miles over the course of the day on a mile loop from our house. I'm now realizing that this wasn't MY idea at all and I must've gotten it from one of your posts on Facebook. Too funny.

    And nice job! That's pretty awesome.

  2. Impressive, loops can be so boring, 26.2 loops is a lot of loops, nice job sticking it out despite the awkwardness of running past the weird people so many times.

  3. That is an awesome jump shot. I think every run I think to myself 'Why am I doing this?' and the answer is usually "because I'm awesome."

    Excellent job!

  4. I wonder if the questionable people that you passed were thinking the same about you - questioning your mental health, your sense of direction (He really IS lost isn't he?) and your motivation.
    Good run, though.

  5. Amazing.

    I find it hilarious that there were people hanging out that you saw every loop. Maybe they were an unsanctioned cheer station?

  6. That. Is. Awesome! ....& btw, I heard on the radio today that twinkies are coming back. Now you can have a 'proper' aid station on your lawn ;)

  7. I love this post, particularly because you enjoyed the run so much. Just spreading the running love.

  8. Hey Cory,

    Davy Crockett fan myself. Guy is unbelievable. Not just his 100's, but his other adventures including huge runs in the Grand Canyon. It was nice meeting him at Bryce, but I probably acted like that girl obsessed with Sanjaya on American Idol.

    Anyway, great job on your night marathon. Thinking about doing the same thing on my farm. 4.5 mile loops, water available often, and the company of 6 dogs, jack rabbits, and other desert critters. You are welcome to join me.

  9. You are amazing! Your aid station is the best aid station for a marathon I have seen.
