Day 7:First Week- What Nature Had in Store

The first heat wave of the race around the city block took prisoners, but just as the escapees never give up trying, our intrepid runners continued on. What a difference a day makes. Clear sunny skies and less humidity helped the runners get back on track. Grahak Cunningham moved to within four laps of the leader Vasu Duzhiy with a sparkling 72.44 miles. Both men are averaging just over 70 miles per day. Pranjal Milovnik remains in third overall at a 67.89 mile per day clip. Fifty-nine year-old Arpan DeAngelo has been getting better the last few days. With 64.21 miles today he is averaging over 61 miles per day and running more smoothly. Eight of the starting twelve reached sixty miles or more today.
