Hello. I'm one of these "destination marathon" people, one of these people vying to run (full) marathons (26.2 miles) in all fifty states. I'm also gearing up for my first Olympic triathlon this summer.

To date, I've completed 34 marathons in 31 months in 26 states (the St. Louis Marathon is listed incorrectly as a 'half marathon' in the 'advanced view' section of my results.). I've been able to get faster the past 14 months, getting 11 "PRs" (personal records) in that time and finally (FINALLY) qualify for the tough-to-crack Boston Marathon.
