Maine

With the completion of this Maine course I am a third (1/3) of the way done with the goal.

I don't want o jinx myself, but I am beginning to feel like I can complete the goal.  I am getting in the rhythm of travel and race days.  What I have to do is avoid catastrophic health and/or equipment problems for the rest of the year.

New York

It has rained on a number of my marathons this year, but this is the first where it was raining from the start though the entire event.  A different level of skill is needed for a wet, slippery, marathon course.       

The good news is that it's another marathon finish and another state.

Illinois

Another marathon finish, another state.  Easy race, and finished a little more than 25% of the goal.  It was a emotional roller coaster of a day.  I learned that I was banned from the Delaware and Maryland race for which I was registered.  Luckily i built in some redundancy into the schedule.  That redundancy is for DNF or race director caused DNS.  I have backup races already scheduled for Delaware and Maryland later in the year.  It's not possible to have redundancy for all the states.  Hope it does happen too many more times.

Tennessee

God the marathon finish.  Got the state added to the tally. A little less than 20% (10/51 = 19.61%)

Photographers are used to the pace of the runners.  The wheelchairs are a different pace, and a rarity.  They don't know how to lead us to take the picture they want.  I got the feet for pictures, just not the face.
