Well I now know that at titanium rod leg can run over 20 miles. I ran 22.23 miles at a 7:32 pace in 2:47. God gives you the strength when you don't think the physical is possible. You look back and where you start in life or recovery or anything that a major trauma in your life and you realize how good God is to his Children.
The wind was really nasty and just cold. I was in shorts an shirt and my CEP compression socks what was I thinking. I had light gloves on and my hands were freezing. There were several times I wanted to cut it short, but I remembered that my recovery was harder than this, and that gave me the motivation to quit going. I ran in a headwind for most of it up to 25mph. It was hard miles on some. I did the last two mile at 6:56 and 6:58. I just took it easier because I knew if I would have press real hard in the wind the run could have been who knows what. With knowing this run I think I'm close to getting at least a 3 hr marathon. Race pace will be quite different so things are possible for under 3 hours again.
