I started racing back in 2003 and was trained for marathons by the LLS' Team in Training group in 2004. I then became one of their race coaches in 2005 through 2012. Now I'm a running volunteer and, sadly, a patient of AFTD - I have the svPPA disease which has turned off my brain memory.
To support AFTD and their efforts to help me with my disease - https://www.classy.org/fundraiser/3647074.
Thus far I've completed 71 marathons and 194 half marathons. I've completed races like these, so far, in 49 US states (mostly here in California) and in nearly all continents. The remaining state for me is Wyoming. The remaining continents are South America and Africa.
Here is my full list of these races through Q4 2022.
