3:55 finish, 86/412 place overall. Other than the fact that the RD changed the race date to a week later after I had already registered and booked my flight (forcing me to completely rearrange travel plans, pay extra fees, and take an unplanned day off work), this ended up being a good day and a good race. Scenic course along north shore of Oahu - mountains on one side and ocean on the other. Very flat, but also very warm and humid, as to be expected in HI. Early start made it more tolerable, but sun still got to me in later miles - making me very happy with sub-four finish.

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 #25 (state #13): Lower Potomac River Marathon, Piney Point, MD
3:48 finish, 72/178 place overall. Another relatively late sign-up; didn't get MD in February, and this one fit schedule nicely with three week gap before and five weeks after. Ended up being a nice, low-key race in rural southern MD with some rolling hills, but nothing crazy. Perfect weather - cold at start, but ended up great for running. Second best time so far, not counting DE which was a few seconds faster on paper but wouldn't have been if course was measured correctly.

Marathon #24 (state #12): Lost Dutchman Marathon, Apache Junction, AZ
3:56 finish, 158/527 overall. Originally signed up for a MD Marathon but thought it would be canceled due a snowstorm (which it ended up not being), so signed up for this last minute. Perfect weather, great desert scenery about an hour east of Phoenix. Went out very fast (would have been PR if I maintained pace) but slowed down considerably after mile 20. Overall a good day though.

Marathon #23 (state #11): Rehoboth Seashore Marathon
3:48 finish, 201/643 place overall. Nice scenic and flat course along Delaware coast. Great ocean views. Ideal cool temperatures for running, but on the windy side. Course was mis-measured and short by about 1/4 mile, but would be a good time regardless. Great post-race food and beverages in heated tent, making for a good day overall.
