Started running marathons in 2001. Ran my first Boston in 2005 (just after running Antarctica and Patagonia). Ran my second Boston, marathon no. 23, in 2006. 44th (and my 3:28:56 PR) was the New York City Marathon in November 2008, followed 2 weeks later by my first ultra, the 37.2 mile Knickerbocker, 9 times around Central Park. Just completed Tokyo (6th continent), Paris and onto my 50th marathon (plus the one ultra), Boston.
