Marathon Results
The term 'marathon' confuses many people but as all runners know:  A marathon = 26.2 miles.  Yes indeed, that is a long way to run and there is no better feeling than finishing a marathon.  Just to finish is an accomplishment in itself representing the culmination of months of training.  

My most recent marathon came nearly 9 years after the one before and I figure once a decade may be enough for this sort of thing!  Since Knoxville has one right here where I live, it was very convenient and took away some good excuses. There are no current plans for another marathon but if I were so inclined I would say that Nashville's Country Music Marathon might be interesting.

Just glad to get through one!  I struggled early and late as this just wasn't a good running day for me.
Great Run!  Thanks to friends and family running short distances with me, I didn't walk a step and was able to finish strong.

I was on a 3:30 pace until the dreaded mile 20 when I started losing my energy (I knew it was coming as I had been fighting it for a while).
Great finish to this one inside Neyland Stadium!  The Kenyan who won said it was the "toughest course in the world."  Am I happy with my time?  You bet!
