I’ve been hitting it pretty hard recently, with 12 half-marathons in the month so far (20 days in), and this one being the third day in a row. It’s possible that general fatigue is setting in, because I was dragging by the end of this one.

I ran to the group run again, and the recent storm meant I saw more downed trees and lots of water. I fully submerged my feet in several deep puddles along the way.

I joined Angie Spooner, Leann Mullender, and Mark Goodro for a quick photo op with Bainbridge Parks and Trails, which we then turned into a run through some of the trails in the southeastern area of the Island.

So excited for this one! Mark Goodro and I set out together for the first 7 miles, as we ran to our usual run group and were met with a larger-than-usual number of runners for the final 7 miles. Special shout-out to Representative Greg Nance, founder of the Run Far Foundation, for joining us on the run.

When I initially conceived of this project I never thought I’d see this milestone, and I am so thankful.

It is so funny that my friend and running buddy, Mark Goodro, posted his own 2,500mi year for the first time exactly a week ago. He’s had a heck of a year, so I’m thrilled to be in the race!

For this run, I took it easy, as Wednesday’s run got my hamstring a bit angry again. Luckily, it felt better as the run went on, so I’m hopeful.
