Bridge Over Troubled Water

Okay, I finished the 13 miles this evening in about 2 hours again + Refueling energy and sugar at Wendy's aid station (at about 9 miles)--It was a good test in patience--luckily Simon and Garfunkel were there to help me wait in the ridiculously line. Not much improvement on yesterday, but it's promising to know I can do 2 hour runs of the same distance in two consecutive days. The sunset was an amazing show--I got to see it from its descent to its disappearance, and all of the colorful visuals in between. Then, something I thought was really cool: There was a runner who had just started out, wearing a white shirt, who passed me as things were starting to get dark, so I decided to keep him in my sight to pace myself. After a while, there was a third person, going in the same direction, moving with us, though none of us even knew each other. It was cool to see the mental connection that such activity can inspire, especially between strangers! The run was more difficult this time, but I think with tomorrow's day of rest, the next day I'll be able to keep up the work. My goal is now to keep all half-marathons to less than 2 hours. I feel very happy and I'm thirsty for more!
