3:39 finish (PR), 56/285 place overall. Small but well-organized scenic race along a smooth dirt path in rural northern Maryland; fairly flat with a very gradual uphill for the first half and a very gradual downhill on the return. Ideal cool temperatures and flat course made for a fast time, allowing for a personal best marathon finish, beating 2012 Washington State marathon by about two minutes.

Welcome! This blog gives a summary of each marathon with finish time/place, course info, conditions, and links to performance data and travel photos. There are also separate pages listing marathons in different countries/continents, states, and Canadian provinces as well as general info about my running background, frequently asked questions, and advice for anyone looking to start running or exercising more. This blog is linked on my Facebook page, but I'm very rarely on social media otherwise.
