After a couple of painful days, my quad felt a lot better today, allowing me a continuous 5 km run. It should be fine by Monday. One of the photos below is from the Royal Double Ultra, prior to me straining the quad. I don’t recall the photo being taken (it could have been a telescopic lens), which is why I’m not smiling.

The other photos are from seven years ago as I was making my way east across Wisconsin, from the Mississippi to Lake Michigan, via Lake Winnebago. It was a beautiful region in which to run, but the extreme temperatures (around 40C in the shade) made it very difficult. The video is a local TV news clip.
