Mimi might have some problems, so she walks a lot. Nothing special about it.

There is a problem if she tries for 57-58 miles. Mimi has covered almost 48 miles as of this post. It is 7 pm in Missouri. It will take her 3 hours to reach her goal.

Sandy stopped at 5:15 PM with ~61 miles done.

Marina having problems is newsworthy. Until a few days ago she was putting up big numbers. Others might not care to watch until she's further along, but for those of us who have been paying attention, this is notable and worth discussing.

Wow. I'm impressed. Hope she isn't pushing herself too hard. At least she will be off her feet for a while. Always a balance.

Here time on the road hasn't changed much. The mileage is the biggy.

What do you guys think about amount of time versus mileage? I am convinced that amount of time running is the key to a run like this. The mileage will be what it will be.

Mimi has stopped. About 49 miles for the day. About 15 hrs 40 min for the day (start to end).

Sandy's Strava is up: 60.0 miles in 12:15, 12:15/mile

You have to get the mileage in as easy as possible. You don't want to run to fast and stress your legs more than you need to. So there is a balance between speed and miles. Of course weather might have some influence too.

Just 49 miles in 15:40 for Mimi indicates a bigger problem. 3.1 miles per hour is not much. Of course that might include longer strategic breaks.

First of all, thank you for your observation. Anyone who considers a long day trek really needs to have someone with experience on their team.

The Strava will likely show far less moving time, as it has the last few days. Here lunch break was just under 20 minutes to separate the two runs. It appears that Mimi has more than an hour of other breaks during the two runs.

That's 19:11 per mile. Getting closer to her actual walking pace.

Still no Strava from Marina.

She must be unhappy with the result. Even at 50 miles per day she could finish in some 55 days.

Maybe so. Marina has been marketing the 53 days thing really hard, which is weird because Amy the Treadmill Cheat (who she supports on some level) has a charity with 53 in the name and claims to have run 53 marathons in 53 days.

Does the number 53 mean something in the UK?

The sign in the windshield is spot on: A photo seated in cars by donation.

It's almost 10 o'clock in Missouri so maybe we aren't getting the Strava tonight.

It stands to reason. Kansas City only recently got electricity and the internet is still hit and miss. Damn free range wild dogs!

Yes, for Marina and Amy it does anyway:

"The angel number 53 combines the energies and vibrations of the numbers 5 and 3, so if you keep seeing this number everywhere, you’re in for some great news! This angel number signifies many positive attributes that can truly change you and your life."
