Default 50 marathons, 50 states, by 50 years old?

I'm working on this goal to finish a marathon in every U.S. state before I turn 50. I got hooked on marathons when I did my first one to raise funds for the Arthritis Foundation. I raised over $40,000 en route to completing the Honolulu Marathon. Since then, I've done 5 more, each in a different state, and I'm really starting to develop a plan to complete this goal. The biggest challenge, I think, will be the financial requirements of traveling. I may need to get creative with that. Anyone interested in hearing about my progress as I go? Should I start a blog? Anyone else out there doing this, or completed it? I'm all ears for resources, suggestions, support, encouragement...heck, anyone wanna join me for some races? I've coached several non-runners to their first marathon finish. Let me know!

This is kinda like the 50 marathons, 50 states in 50 day thing.

You should definately blog about it.

Keep us updated! Good luck.

Beautiful...My last marathon was the Honolulu at age 42 in 1988. It was also a PR for me at 3:51:47. I wanted to do what you are doing but my left hip decided different and I had it replaced so now I am a 5 and 10K guy. good luck. Remember that the race does not always go to the swift...but to those that keep on running. Rick
