6 January 2013 – 5 hrs 38 min

Today was the final marathon in the first week of the Marathon Man World Record Challenge. Six marathons in six days to start the New Year is a good solid start, but the road ahead will be long with 51 weeks to go.

Marathon Man Rests!

As with the other four days of the Winter Festival, today’s marathon was run over the same eight lap course in Leon Creek Greenway.

I am very happy to complete this series with consistent times around 5 hrs 30 min each day.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my awesome host Liza Hunter-Galvan and her family who have looked after & supported me in this first week. It is now time for me to move on to Phoenix, Arizona for a few days rest before continuing the adventure.

Tomorrow will be my first rest day for the year. It seems somewhat fitting that Marathon Man should rest on the seventh day. I am looking forward to the challenge of waking up & NOT running a marathon!
