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.

Keeping going...more goals

My marathon total is now 110 and counting. I've been saying for awhile that I'm "loosely" or "casually" working on the states for a second time, but now I realize that I'm more serious than I thought. I also have hopes of making it to 200 total.

So...I'm doing as many Florida marathons as I can through the winter, and planning new states when I can. My friend Carol and I travel so well together that we are planning our next few months. She just completed the second circuit of the 50 states, and so she can work on her third while I work in my second.

Some days this seems quite selfish, while on others I know that having the goals is what keeps me going, keeps me active.
