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.

Marathon #163 (country #31): Split Marathon, Croatia
3:52 finish, 190/500 place overall. Fairly scenic mid-sized race in and around Split on Croatia’s Adriatic coast. It finishes on the waterfront in front of Diocletian’s Palace - home of the Roman emperor about 1,700 years ago and later converted into a town. It’s a mountainous area and the course has repetitive hills that seem to never end, but with ideal running weather I still ended up with an okay time.
