Tupelo Half Marathon Medal
I decided to use this race as a supported training run for my build up for the Berlin Marathon later this month.
Even without Berlin I would have found a reason to do this race. The t-shirt and medal are too good to pass up!
The race motto is “Trample the Weak Hurdle the Dead”.
What’s not to love about that?! Continue Reading →

I just ran my 44th marathon and collected my 35th state in my 50 state goal.
The New Jersey coast is beautiful, unfortunately it rained the entire 26.2 miles and I was underdressed (I was trying to be minimalistic in my packing).
I have never been so cold during a race!
Other than that, it was a great marathon. Here’s my recap . . . Continue Reading →
After 42 marathons and ultras I’ve gotten to the point where finishing a marathon is not in doubt.
Dare I say that I’ve gotten a bit overconfident about marathons because they’ve become fairly easy for me if I’m not trying to set a PR.
The New South Trail Marathon was a good lesson in respecting the distance and the course for me. Continue Reading →

The Jacksonville Bank Marathon was held for the 33rd time on January 3, 2016.
This race is billed as the “fastest marathon course in the south” and rated the Top 10 Fastest by Runner’s World. It has a 6 hour time limit for the full; 3 hour for the half and also featured a 5k.
I was able to travel to Jacksonville, FL to visit a friend for a few days during the holiday and by chance found this marathon to do while I was there (because doesn’t everyone search for races at their trip destinations). I registered for the race about one week out and it was still a reasonable $80. I love a good bargain! Continue Reading →
