50 State Club progess
OK, well I skipped my blog update for March. Shame on me, but I am still doing well overall for 2007!I decided last year to make it a goal to run a marathon in all 50 states before I turn 50. How many have I run, you ask? How many states do I have, you want to know? Well, my dear curious friend, that is the purpose of this blog. Every time someone asks, I have to stop and run down the list in my head. What's worse is that I can only give a ball park for my finishing times in each race. So, here is where I am going to compile an "as of now" list. Here we go, from first to last:
09/18/04 - Airforce Marathon - Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton, OH - 5:37:37
10/10/04 - Chicago Marathon - Chicago, IL - 5:20:21
04/09/06 - St. Louis Marathon - St. Louis, MO - 4:50:28
05/07/06 - Flying Pig Marathon - Cincinnati, OH (duplicate state) - 4:51:37
10/01/06 - Lakefront Marathon - Milwaukee, WI - 4:36:19 (Personal Record!)
10/29/06 - Marine Corps Marathon - Arlington, VA - 5:02:36
03/25/07 - Georgia Marathon - Atlanta, GA - 5:22:07
So, there you have it. 7 marathons to date, 6 states. And on the horizon? The Country Music Marathon in Nashville, TN (a new state!) on 04/28/07! Look for a time of less than 5 hours - I'm hoping for something like 4:45.
As far as future plans, I'm THINKING about Twin Cities MN in October, the Tulsa Marathon in November, and maybe Jacksonville FL in February of 2008. This will require major negotiations since my husband is not quite on board with my 50 state plan, although he has been a good sport so far and he is trying to qualify for Boston this year. I will keep you posted.
