Old and slow

If you're a marathoner, especially if you're either "of a certain age" or a slower runner/walker, you'll probably relate to my posts. I've completed all the states, my total is over 80, and I've even collected a few age group awards along the way. But I'm always in the last 10% of finishers, thus my view is always from the back of the pack.

Finally made it to 100 marathons

I finally made it to 100 marathons. I did the Ocean Drive Marathon in Cape May, NJ this last Sunday. It was cold and windy, but the sun did come out. Not too bad weather wise. It was a slow day, though. About 40 of us chose to start early, and I'm glad I did. My time was about 6:06. The experience was more enjoyable because I shared it with Carol, Elaine, and Jim--great running friends.

Next up is the Yakima River Canyon Marathon in Yakima, WA. I chose this one especially because it's run by Bob and Lenore Dauphin, who started the 100 Marathon Club of North America. That's where I plan to really celebrate the milestone, along with my dear friend, Jean. Frank will be there to celebrate his 400th!

Now, I need to flesh out the schedule for the remainder of the year.
