I was not sure how I was going to do. On October 16, 2022, I finished the Duke City Marathon in Albuquerque, New Mexico. [more …]

My legs were dead from the start. On June 19, 2022, I finished the San Juan Island Marathon on San Juan Island, Washington. This race was my sixth marathon finish in 8 weeks. [more …]

This race was in the Columbus-Belmont State Park in Columbus, Kentucky. So, I’ll give it the name Columbus Marathon. [more …]
