Chasing 100
As we approach the 4th quarter I am closing in on my next milestone. I’ve done 12 marathons this year (well, 11 marathons and 1 ultra) which has brought me very close 100 total marathons or longer races in my career.
A quick check of the Marathon Maniacs stat board had me ranked at number 184 in terms of total marathons with a total of 86, but since I hadn’t updated my stats in a while, I was curious how far I’d jump once updating my stats. After updating with the 10 missing races for this year, I jumped up to spot #155.
100 marathons is currently good enough for #144, however to crack the top 100 you need 118 marathons.
I’ve got four more on the schedule for this year, so it will actually be a down year for me from last year (16 vs. 20 respectfully).
Not sure what the next goal should be after reaching 100, still pondering.
Here’s where I’ll be next:
10/3 St. George
10/24 Frankenthon (Directing, not running)
11/1 New York City
11/15 Rock and Roll San Antonio
12/13 White Rock (Marathon #100 if all goes well).
Hope to see you there.
