This travel bug's mission is to visit a marathon in all 50 states.
My mission is to run a marathon in all 50 states. We both already ran the Houston Texas Marathon. I would like an official item from each State marathon I run. To begin my journey I am starting with the official finish medal of the Houston marathon.
A good place to find out where the next marathon is in your state or area is to visit www.runnersworld.com While waiting for full marathons I like to do practice half-marathons.
Just as an example here is the list of March 2005 marathons.
March 6, 2005
Little Rock, Ark: Calistoga, Calif: Los Angeles, Calif: Piney Point, M.D: Severna Park, M.D.
March 12, 2005 Raleigh, N.C.
March 13, 2005 Mesa, Ariz: Abingdon, VA.
March 19, 2005 Catalina Island, Calif: Macon, Ga: Northville, Mich: Ellerbe Springs, N.C: Virginia Beach, VA.

I have to first off appologize for taking so long to drop this bug off in another cache. With that said I have to thank you as well for allowing me to hold onto this one for a while. When I found it back in August I thought that there was no way I could get it close to a marathon, and no I didn't run one either!!! I did however get the thought in my head that I should start running a little. Since I have picked up this bug I logged over 200 miles, bought my first pair of running shoes that I can't spell, starting worring about moister wicking clothing, ran three 5K's one 10K a 5 miler on Thanksgiving, and lost over 30lbs. So thank you for the bug and the motivational powers that it brought with it. I did get it close to the Des Moines Marathon though since a friend of mine, who was shocked to see my sudden interest in running, ran the marathon for the second time. Thanks again.

Don't know if I will try to get this anywhere close to a marathon because last time I was around a marathon was in Chicago and my car got towed in the middle of the night because I didn't see the "Marathon Route No Parking" signs. That cost me almost $200 to my car back. I will see if I can find something though.
