Visual Description:  The long hard jog.

PERIG  =  GRIPE,  DUNHO  =  HOUND,  TANTEN  =  TENANT,  CCINES  =  SCENIC   —   Giving us:  GRIHUNNNTENI

Clue/Question:  He wasn’t favored to win the marathon, but he was – – –

English: Omagh Half Marathon (2) The runners are coming along the Hospital Road (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Answer:  IN THE RUNNING

(Nice figurative/literal pun!  None of the clue words were new today, but all of the jumbles appear to be new.  I struggled some with both “tenant” and “scenic”, so I’d say those were the tougher jumbled words.  Nice letter groupings!  The answer letter layout was swell, but the clue/question setup made the answer pretty obvious.  Along with the great cartoon, of course.  Another buddy of mine will be running the New York Marathon this year.  I believe it will be his first, although his wife has run it a couple of times.  Best of luck to Dr. Lou Medved!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
