The Hypothetical Hypermarathon
- Michael5000's Running Avatar has left Portland and is running generally east, out into the great big world.
- June 10 -- Just outside of Roosevelt, Washington, population ~60.
- June 2 -- Back on Washington Highway 14, looking down on the John Day Dam.
- June 1 -- The Avatar crossed the Columbia again and checked out the Stonehenge Memorial on the way to the Maryhill Museum.
- May 29 -- Still in the Columbia Gorge, the Avatar crosses into Sherman County for what is probably his last stop in Oregon for a long, long time.
- May 19th -- Passing through The Dalles, Oregon.
The Humanly Prowess -- since August 2009
- June 8 -- 11.5 miles sets a running record for the 8th.
- June 2 -- 7.44 miles is a record-breaking 16th consecutive Sunday and wraps up the highest-mileage week of 2013.
- June 1 -- A big 12.3 miles is the longest run so far in 2013 and an all-time record for the first of the month.
- May 29 -- 7.09 miles gets rid of the only remaining sub-seven day-of-month record, although the 29th remains the day with the shortest record.
- May 26 -- Tied the record for consecutive Sundays run, at 15.
- May 25 -- 4.04 miles is an all-time record for New Mexico. Also, I've now run in 11 states.
