4:11 finish, 43/132 place overall. Nice small German-themed marathon on the outskirts of Philadelphia in Pennypack Park, running along a combination of paved bike paths and dirt trails through mostly wooded areas. Tough course with many short but steep hills and a section of trail that has rocks and roots to slow you down. Not too hot but very humid. The course and weather made for a hard and slow race overall, but it still felt good to finally be back to the full marathon distance after a four-month injury gap.
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.
