Thirteen days in, the even dozen keep going- weather or no weather.They do not hesitate, they just go. It is inspiring. This race is difficult enough without expectations from others, whether friend or foe. Yet they toe the line, day after day. We tell people’ They actually get stronger.’ Do they really, or is it just Grace or fate, or good genes. Might be for a first timer. But for someone coming back, year after year, to do this race again takes even more courage than the first time. So all props to the Delirious Dozen, who defy all odds and do it again and again. While we are at it, Atmavir Spacil ran 69.14 miles to garner day honors and extend his lead to 35 miles. Seven of 12 broke sixty, so the race struck back at those who thought it was a pushover.Good luck to all multi-day runners around the world.Remember to toe the line and embrace the challenge.
