And, thus, the first and probably only Walking Gamer Reston to Washington, DC marathon has come to an end. Pheidippides ran from Marathon to Athens to inform them that the Persian army had been defeated. He was the equivalent of texting back in the day. He ran 26.2 miles and I have no idea why people still do this thing. I walked it. It took all day. It hurt.

Still… I am glad I did it. I had not had an endurance walking day in a while due to the seasonal work. It would also appear that uploading from the road to everything was a smashing success. I also took some pictures throughout the day. Take a look (it’s in a book).
