3:38 finish (PR), 498/2118 place overall. Nice, well-organized mid-sized race going through towns and neighborhoods along Jersey Shore, starting at Monmouth Racetrack and finishing along the boardwalk in Long Branch. Very flat course and ideal weather allowed for another personal best finish - by just 44 seconds - beating my previous best in Maryland five months ago.

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.

Marathon #92 (country #12): Olympia Marathon, Greece
3:49 finish, 35/110 place overall. Small but friendly and well-supported race through rural areas of the western Peloponnese peninsula, with a unique finish in Ancient Olympia next to the ruins of the stadium where the original Olympic Games were held in 776 BC. A couple of tough hills in the second half, but otherwise relatively flat with ideal running weather, leading to a decent finish time.
