There is a rumor that someone is finishing his 50 states on Saturday in Illinois.

I found this in your blog: "The new Illinois Marathon. Illinois is the only state where I've not run a marathon. I should be able to fix this situation in April, and then I'll be done with the 50 states." Cool beans!

congratulations MM#111 any particular reason for saving Illinois for last after more than 200 marathons/ultras? SRL, WA Double titanium: 65 in 52 weeks, 30 states in 52 weeks. 11 in one month.

Srlopez . Wow 4/18 SteveP - Run For Shelter 5K, Traverse City, MI The dog can enter this one as well. So I need to find a black ribbed Batman tank top for a 60 lb dog really quick like.

It does?? I'm actually changing my mind and looking at the Cinco de Mayo PCRF half marathon instead http://www.pcrf-kids.com/reachingforthecure/

Good luck Ilene on your Big Sur Marathon! Also good luck on your half marathon Cinco De Mayo. Is that a brand new race or one that got moved up a few weeks (Saddleback?)
