54th Marathon 36th State 86th Place 3:49:11 As my father and I have started the stretch run towards completing our goal of running a marathon in all 50 states, the B&A Trail Marathon near Annapolis presented itself quite nicely. The race fell at a very good time for me (the march/April issue of the magazine [...]

53rd Marathon 55th Place 4:10:51 The Tecumseh Trail Marathon is run in Yellowwood State Forest, between Bloomington and Nashville, IN.

Denver Marathon (Denver, CO) – 19 Oct 2008
52nd Marathon 470th Place 3:49:49 Today I ran the third annual Denver Marathon. Considering that I have not been running much of this year due to injury and life (having a baby in the house), I was unsure of how this was going to go. I had not run the distance since this marathon last [...]

Denver Marathon (Denver, CO) – 14 Oct 2007
51st Marathon 149th Place 3:28:28 The Denver Marathon double in size from the first year, so this made it seem like a major marathon. The race director also changed the course just a bit, which I believe was for the better. I had initially planned to race this marathon, but my wife gave birth to [...]

50th Marathon 35th State 13th in age group 3:47:25 The Little Rock Marathon is a tour of the capital city of Arkansas, a small state with only 2.5 million people.

Red Hot 50K+ (Moab, UT) – 17 Feb 2007
2nd Ultra 36th Place 6:18:17 We went out to Moab to get away from the winter of Denver (all the snow). I wasn’t really in shape to go 34 miles, but I decided to do it anyway. The first half of the race was pretty easy with a long climb leading up to the second [...]

OBX Marathon (Outer Banks, NC) – 12 Nov 2006
49th Marathon 34th State 293rd Place 3:52:34 This was the second marathon in my first ever weekend double, so I had no idea what to expect from my legs. Fortunately, they felt OK and I was actually able to run this one a few seconds faster! As for the race itself, it was great. Being [...]

Richmond Marathon (Richmond, VA) – 11 Nov 2006
48th Marathon 33rd State 628th Place 3:53:06 The Richmond Marathon was the first in my first ever weekend double. Needless to say, I didn’t know what to expect from this so I took the first marathon very easy. The good thing was that it gave me longer to enjoy the race. This year, the temperatures [...]

Denver Marathon (Denver, CO) – 15 Oct 2006
47th Marathon 171st Place 3:39:00 The New Denver Marathon was hyped throughout the year as a “World Class Event.” I decided to run it because it was the first one and I wanted to start a streak in my home town marathon. The race did not let me down at all. Maybe one of the [...]

44th Marathon 31st State ? Place 3:50:45 The Moab Marathon runs from Dead Horse State Park at an elevation on 5950 feet and finishes outside Moab at an elevation of 4400 feet. This sounds like it should be a fast marathon. However, the first 8 miles climb to 6200 feet and there is a 8% [...]

43rd Marathon 30th State 284th Place 4:14:23 The Maui Marathon is probably one of the most beautiful marathons I have ever done! That being said, the race was not that great for me. It started at 5:30 AM on the north side of the island. In order to get there for the start, we had [...]

42nd Marathon 99th Place 5:35:42 This was the 50th year of the PP Marathon and even though I said I would never do it, I decided to do it anyway, just to say I had. I would have to say this is the hardest marathon I have ever done. You start in Manitou Springs at [...]

Leadville Trail Marathon (Leadville, CO) – 2 July 2005
41st Marathon 15th Place 4:42:45 Leadville is a funny place. Well, maybe that is just the way it seems. At 10,200′ above sea level, the thin air makes everything seem giddy. This town was once one of the richest towns in America thanks to the boom in the mining industry. When that dried up, most [...]
