Segment 4: 8 miles

When we started, it was close to 30 degrees. We went through downtown Manchester, which is actually segment 3, since I messed up the directions for the run the night before. It was quiet at 7:30 AM and very peaceful as we ran through what is typically a very busy part of the city.

While I didn't keep a blazing pace, I felt pretty good about the time. My friend, Eric, was with me and was very patient as we walked up a couple of hills.

It took me about 1:26 to go 8 miles this time. I've got multiple blisters and my calves continue to burn. The good news is that I'm more than 35 miles in, so after this next segment, I'll have less than 5 to go.

Remember when I said this was starting to get fun? Well now I'm getting ready for this to be over...
