Seemingly everywhere you look this time of year, you find a "Best of 2014" list. For me, it was a very big year, as this was the year I finished 50 states. A few highlights:
Hardest marathon--No contest here. The Trail Triple Crown, Deleware. This challenging trail marathon with four river crossings took me nearly 7 hours to complete. Humbling and gratifying. A great combination.
Most quirky--Day of the Dead Marathon, New Mexico. One of my favorite races of the year, or of all time for that matter. Small race, a couple dozen crazies like myself. Truly a marathon for runners, by runners.
Biggest Disappointment--Not being able to run the marathon in Portland, Maine on my anniversary weekend, a trip I had planned for a long time.
Biggest Surprise--Being able to register for the Mount Desert Island Marathon in Maine, rated the top marathon in the U.S., only two weeks before the race.
Favorite Marathon--Timberline Marathon in Oregon. This picturesque trail marathon around Timothy Lake was tough, but awesome. Honorable mention--Mayor's Midnight Sun in Anchorage, Alaska.
Favorite Moment--Running with my wife and kids across the finish line in Las Vegas, and being cheered on by dozens of friends and family members. I guess that was two moments. It's my blog. I can do what I want!
Merry Christmas!!
