Ok folks, this is the plan: To complete 50 marathons in 50 states by the age of 50. Did I mention that I will be turning 45 in a few months? Math was never my best subject, but I believe 50 races in 5 years = 10/year, or nearly 1/month. I ran my first marathon last January, the Chevron Houston Marathon. I was lucky enough to win a lottery spot to run again next January. Since it is the same race, it will still be 1/50, after that, hopefully if I stay injury-free I will be able to maintain my fitness and keep running. It also gives me an excuse to travel, and believe it or not, it is a fun way to experience a new city.
Recently I participated in the Harbor Half-Marathon relay, my first race in awhile, and my pace was slower than I would have liked, but not too bad for me. I ran 6.55 miles in 1h 14m.
