24-in-24, mile 12-19, 6pm-1am

MILE TWELVE



















Raining mega-big
shorts immediately soaked,
cars don't care, splash us.

MILE THIRTEEN




















A half-marathon
is way way way easier
over thirteen hours.

MILE FOURTEEN













It is still raining
this should not be surprising.
And yet: soppy sleeves.

MILE FIFTEEN (from here it's too wet for cameras, for a bit.)

Hello Sam! Hi Rick!
We run to your apartment
and eat your chocolate.

MILE SIXTEEN

This run starts out light
then goes royal, navy, pitch
I can't see my feet.

MILE SEVENTEEN

Change our clothes again
because everything is wet
running out of socks.

MILE EIGHTEEN

Neighbours are the best
this run powered by sushi,
whiskey in a globe.

MILE NINETEEN

Charlie starts to wane
says 'whatevs' and flops his arms.
Slight despair in rain.

did you guys do the "no sleep" version again this year? So crazy...

I did no sleep. Charlie caved for one small 2am-3am nap... I actually found that element way easier than last year, keeping myself busy between miles seemed to do the trick...
