Today I ran the 2nd marathon of my life. This time it was not a race or an official course; I simply had a personal goal of running a marathon that would take me through 3 countries. I started at home and ran into Basel, Switzerland, up into Saint-Louis, France, and back into Basel to explore the city a bit and end up near the Badischer Bahnhof (train station).
Emily was kind enough to ride her bike with me most of the way. She filled the role of the “race sherpa,” providing me with food, water, and moral support throughout the run. She also took pictures, so thanks to Emily, you get to see a few glimpses of my run!
