PictureSt Jude Memphis Marathon, 2017
Preface
Why?
This book can be your map to many different things. Maybe you are looking to see what are some of the best marathons to run in the United States? Maybe you want to know how your running life changes once you change from single to married to married with children? Or maybe you just want a quick-read book full of a lifetime of advice and short stories from each state in the US. 
 
Each marathon will have the date I ran the race as well as the total elevation gain listed as recorded from my Garmin watch. The dates may be important because some races get a new course if they change race directors.
 
Come along and follow my live journey! 

​note: 
I would like to dedicate this book to the many people who supported me or ran with me along the way. A special thank you to my friends and family that had to put up with my constant running.
