Marathon #61: Jacksonville Marathon, FL

3:56 finish, 220/698 place overall.  Warm and very humid, but flat. Okay course - nothing spectacular - running mostly through residential areas of Jacksonville. Heat and humidity made this one a struggle, especially late, but still managed to break four hours - fourth sub-four in a row in under three months.

Marathon #60 (second round state #4): Rehoboth Seashore Marathon, DE

3:50 finish, 250/877 place overall. Cloudy and 50ish, very flat, ideal for fast time. Second time doing this race, running from Rehoboth Beach to Lewes and back through scenic Cape Henlopen State Park. Beat Detroit time by about a minute; best since July 2012.

Marathon #59 (state #45): Indianapolis Marathon, IN

3:58 finish, 1496/3725 place overall. Cold and windy, but very flat. Okay course starting downtown, through nice residential and park areas, and finishing back at Indiana State Capitol. I never expect much after a two week turnaround, so pleasantly surprised to have extra energy in later miles and finish under four - first time doing so after such a short gap.

Marathon #58 (state #44): Detroit Marathon, MI

3:51 finish, 837/3999 place overall.  Sunny and very cool, ideal conditions. Very flat. Fairly scenic course running from downtown Detroit, over bridge into Windsor, Canada, and through tunnel back to U.S. Nice waterfront and skyline views; avoids worst areas of city. Cool weather and flat course made for 14 minute improvement over Nebraska last month and best finish time in over two years.

Marathon #57 (state #43): Monument Marathon, Scottsbluff, NE

4:05 finish, 23/101 finish overall. Sunny and very warm, almost no shade. Nice course though; runs through Scotts Bluff National Monument - more scenic area than most of Nebraska. Heat and minor altitude (4,000ish feet) made for slower pace, 8 minutes off Alaska last month. No complaints though given the conditions.
