Marathon Me

I recently finished my 101st marathon or longer race in Houston this month. I am now elligble to join the 100+ marathon club. My brother-in-law has less than 10 states to complete the 50 states. As he approaches that milestone, I would like to join him for as many of these races as possible to watch his complete his goal.

This got me thinking about my collection of states, and so I updated my spreadsheet, and of the 101 marathons, I’ve managed to pick up at least a second marathon in 13 states. So I could join the club again, but it shows that I have a high concentration of repeats.

Here are my repeated states:

State	Total # Of Marathons+
Texas	24
Massachusetts	6
California	5
Idaho	3
New York	3
Oklahoma	3
Delaware	2
Florida	2
Indiana	2
Nevada	2
Oregon	2
South Dakota	2
Utah	2

Texas makes a lot of sense, since it is where I live. I was surprised to see Massachusetts ahead of California as it felt like I have done more races there. This summer I am looking to do a triple-marathon involving Idaho, Utah and Colorado. Sadly this will only give me one “new” state towards completing the 50 States for the second time.But it will put me at 9 states towards going around 3 times. Haha.
