Marathons


I have a goal to run a marathon in every state and on every continent by the time I turn 50 years old (12/1/2015).  It turns out that this isn’t a totally ridiculous goal – there are actually two clubs in the US for marathoners doing 50 in 50 (the 50 States Marathon Club and the 50&DC Marathon Group USA).

Total Marathons Completed: 15
PR: 4:05:27 (Chicago, 2003)
Slowest: 5:47:39 (Sedona AZ, 2008)

Next Marathons Scheduled

2010 is a big year for me.  I had a crummy year in 2009 (only ran 600 miles total, was sick a bunch, and had a few ankle twists.)  I’m determined to get back on track in 2010 so I’m planning to do six marathons (one down, five more to go!)

  1. 04/11/10 – St Louis, MO: GO! St. Louis Marathon
  2. 06/12/10 – Marathon, IA: Marathon to Marathon
  3. 08/21/10 – Rachel, NV: E.T. Full Moon Midnight Marathon
  4. 10/17/10 – Detroit, MI: Detroit Free Press / Flagstar Marathon
  5. 12/11/10 – Kiawah, SC: Kiawah Island Golf Resort Marathon

Cheer me on!
