Marathon #3 for the year. The Florida Marathon in Melbourne, Florida. My first time pacing (4:15) I have to admit I’ve been a bundle of nerves for a couple of weeks worried about making sure I was ready.

Icebreaker Marathon 2016
Marathon #2 for the year in Wisconsin, because why not, I’m here? And who did I see? Kelly Blunt Pfannenstiel, Jim Reimann, and Evelyn Smith, and of course met some new friends. Fun fact: This ones for you Joseph Lagatta, Festa Italiana is one of the largest Italian festivals in the United States.
Miami Marathon 2016

Operation Jack Marathon 2015
Operation Jack Marathon. 37th and final marathon of the year. 23rd and final half marathon of the year tomorrow at the San Diego Holiday half. A fitting ending for a goofy year.

State #49, Virginia–motherf–king Virginia–the Old Dominion State, completed at the Cross County Trail Marathon in Springfield, Virginia.

Swan Lake Marathon 2015
14-JUN-2019 Viborg, South Dakota, USA State 38. Hot, humid day. Did a lot of talking and walking on what is a boring course at a Christian Camp. Fun fact: South Dakota is the home of the Dakota, Lakota and Nakota tribes, which make up the Sioux Nation.
