My journey to 50 in 50 states

Cool goal to run 50/50! Welcome to the blog and good luck with your plan.

BTW...How many have you completed?

thank you I just run for your wellcoming. Only three marathons so far and running number 4 on october 20th. I see you ran the Oklahoma marathon please let me know how it was im thinking about running it next April. thank you again

What marathon in October?

I have run OKC twice. the first time coming off of an injury with no running for about 3 weeks before and the second one 2 months after the Ft Worth Cowtown marathon. (That was a bad decision as I hadn't completely recovered.)

I liked OKC but the weather conditions are really sketchy that time of year. The first year was very cold, rain, lighting, very windy. The second year was too hot and humid.

It's a good one to put on your bucket list since it's close to you.

It's a fairly flat course with only a few rolling hills. The turnout and support is good.

I would not target it as a BQ race because of the sketchy weather conditions, I would use it as an experience builder though.

Since it falls late in the spring it works out where you can run a fall marathon and then it in the spring, that's something I'm trying to do (run 2 marathons per year).

Good luck on your BQ goal! I struggled with some bad breaks and decisions before I hit mine. :-)

BTW...What's your qualifying time?

3:15 is my BQ so you can see how young Im!!. Im running IMT matathon in Des Moines IA its a driving distance form Kansas city. I could use all the dos and don't thax for the info.
