Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth, Minnesota. Hot day instead of the cold, or at least rainy I was expecting. Thanks to Juli Seydell Johnson for making a bib available from her family. I owe you one. Nice race along the lake and a bucket list race crossed off. Other people I saw but didn’t have the…

Light at the End of the Tunnel Marathon 2016
Spent a lot of my weekend working, but had a little time to hang out with some friends and a race in North Bend.
Casper Marathon 2016
Casper marathon. Nice little race. Some hills, altitude, and a little warmth. And a little time to kill in Denver. Fun fact: Casper was named after Fort Caspar which was named after Lieutenant Caspar Collins, who died in battle in 1865 against the Lakota and Cheyenne. The city was accidentally misspelled in its incorporating documents….
Vermont City Marathon for Wusses 2016
The race that wasn’t.
Sugarloaf 2016
3:52 or 3:53 something (edit: official time 3:52:56), not sure due to Garmin issues (specifically the idiot attached to the buttons) today at the Sugarloaf Marathon in Western Maine. Shotgun start (awesome) beautiful scenery (though mostly too wet to photo), and a heck of a lot of fun. Fun fact: Kingfield (where this race finishes)…
Kalamazoo Marathon 2016
Kalamazoo Marathon in 4:07:56 the fastest second day of a double I’ve run. I’m feeling better about my plan for the Keys in two weeks. Nice being back in my former hometown. Fun fact: While normally considered a matter of opinion, it is a known fact that Bell’s brewery has the best beer in Kalamazoo….
Wisconsin Marathon 2016
Windy AF this morning in Kenosha. I don’t usually like to have a positive split l, but I wish I’d banked more time in the first half since the last 8 miles were into a fierce wind, with some sand for good measure. Fun fact: Kenosha is one of the smallest cities in the U.S….
Kentucky Derby Marathon Festival 2016
A rainy race day in Louisville. Pacing 5:00. Finished 25 seconds under. Marathon #10 for the year, complete. A hello to all the people I saw and forgot to take pictures with: Hector Reyes, Nadia Guimont, Karin Herzmann Donna Dullys, Ken Fattmann, Andrew Wetterer, Amy Frederick, Greg Burress, etc. Fun fact: Louisville is the only…
Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon 2016
We run to remember. That’s the theme. That’s the thought. I’ve had this race on my list for a while, this Bataan, Joplin, and Marshall University are the only memorial marathons I’m familiar with. As often as we do these things it can be easy to just bang another one out without much thought. But…
