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.
3:51 finish, 96/384 place overall, 3/17 age group. Small race in and around Nashville, starting and finishing at the state capitol. Some nice sections, but it’s one of those races that is geared towards the half marathon and treats the full as as afterthought. Long stretch of second half is through industrial areas with minimal support. Relatively flat course with chilly weather; another sub-four state done.

3:51 finish, 65/272 place overall. This is a local race I’ve done a few times before, but it’s a new course now that goes from Babylon down over the Robert Moses Causeway, west along the Ocean Parkway bike path to Gilgo Beach, then doubles back to finish in Bay Shore. Scenic run over the causeway but kind of monotonous along the parkway. Mostly flat except for the bridge; good weather; okay finish time.
