3:54 finish, 63/308 place overall. Small city race in and around El Paso, starting downtown, running out into the suburbs, and then a unique finish inside the minor league baseball stadium. A little hilly with minor altitude, but nothing crazy. Okay 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 #111: Philadelphia Marathon, PA
3:51 finish, 3,206/10,056 place overall. Fourth time doing this race - a nice well-supported course through downtown area and local parks, starting and finishing near the famous “Rocky Steps.” Mostly flat with a few hills in the mid to late miles. Cold and damp, but no heavy rain. Not my best time on the course, but still solidly under four hours.

Marathon #110: Suffolk County Marathon, Patchogue, NY
3:48 finish, 67/266 place overall. Fourth time doing this race, which starts in Patchogue, runs west on Montauk Highway, through Heckscher, and finishing back in Patchogue. Weather was kind of lousy with some wind and rain, especially near the end, but not nearly as bad as the wintry muddy mess in Manitoba last month. Decent finish time - first sub-3:50 since late 2018.

Marathon #109 (Can. prov. #5): Treherne Marathon, MB, Canada
4:11 finish, 12/30 place overall. Small rural race on mostly dirt roads through the prairies of southern Manitoba, about an hour and a half west of Winnipeg near the North Dakota border. Weather was miserable - unseasonably cold and windy with mixed rain and sleet, making it muddy and slow. It’s also a fairly hilly course, especially for the area, adding to what would have already been a slower than average finish. With very few runners doing the full and almost no spectators, it was a very isolated run, but those who were out there and the volunteers were very supportive in spite of the conditions. Provinces halfway done.
