Seventh marathon done

Thankfully the ankle didn’t give me too many problems although the other one swoll up in solidarity with its partner. The only pain was the typical marathon pain, and dealing with the lack of sleep since we were just off the plane. I managed to come through in the somewhat blustery conditions in 3:51.

The next and last one is on King George Island in Antarctica. We hope to fly in early tomorrow morning, but there’s no guarantee as the flight will only operate if conditions permit. There seems to be usually an 80% success rate of getting in on the day. If not, we will try again the next day. I’m eager to finish this quest, and give my body some rest. So, I’m hoping we get the call to go tomorrow. We will have to be ready and scoot out to the airport immediately if we get the call. 

Feels good to have seven done, and I’m feeling good for the last one!

  3. Also good thing you ran that one in New Zealand, in case Antarctica doesn’t work out. New Zealand definitely counts. :) - Shanna
