Here I am, pictured at the race start, wearing an incredible shirt that Christine Lanza made for me for this occasion! The weather was lovely, in the mid 40s, and it got up into the 60s during the run. I also put some rocktape on the medial left knee, as well as along the long head of the left gastrocnemius.
Because it hurt more to walk (there is more knee extension in walking, it seems), I just trotted along the entire time at an 11:30-12:00 min/mile pace. This was actually very difficult...and even though the pace was slower, I was running constantly for the 5 hours and 20 minutes.

To further celebrate my birthday, I listened to the entire recording of LaMonte Young's "The Well-Tuned Piano." I have had this recording for almost a year, but have never listened to it because I wanted to listen to it in one setting. A 5+ hour run was perfect for this occasion.
