Marathons

Marathons are hard. I have run dozens of them and I still find myself involuntarily slowing with a few miles to go. It took many years before I got to the point where I could qualify for and run in the Boston Marathon at age 32, and winning the 2010 Davy Crockett Bear Chase Marathon in Texas.

My primary lifetime marathon goal was to run one in every U.S. state. Happily, 23 years after my first 26.2-miler, I completed this in 2022. Now my main marathon focus is to run all seven World Marathon Majors.
