 Beautiful morning, Solid improvement on the run.

Read this article this morning.  I hope this guy finds happiness in the Guiness record book, but I have my doubts.

PM - Hiked 2.19 miles in 1:32.  Showed my daughter the Great Horned Owl that I saw yesterday.  It was still in the same spot.  Took some photos of it with my long lens for show and tell.

9 hours later, he's in Guiness. Woo hoo! I mean hoot hoot!

You took this picture?

I did. I didn't have my camera the first time out, so I went back. Hopefully I can get some baby owl pics in a month or so. The nest doesn't have a lot of shade, so i hope they survive the heat.

That would be 11 hours 52 minutes and 11 seconds later.

I think your time is right. I think the 12 hour time was his last marathon. But that didn't count because he didn't have an official person from Guiness weigh him. Thats 22:26 mpm. He took 2 hours 4 minutes of his PR though.
