Marathon #45: The Hartford Marathon in Connecticut. Did you have to rain the entire time?! Another big learning experience for us though, we're still learning more mentally and physically in every race. Read the full report here, and hope if you run the race you have better weather than we had in 2014!

Marathon #44. We checked off Wisconsin with the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon. Read about my fascination being in a US high school, a lot of pain (we're not indestructible!), and the finish line incident. Full article is here.

Marathon #43, the Monument Marathon, was really tough. Read about the brutal course under less than ideal circumstances, Leah singing, 2 snake encounters, wild turkeys, spectacular scenery, sun, trail, sun, a skeleton and did I mention sun? Full article here.

Marathon #42. And then we completed the other Dakota State! The Bismarck Marathon was our choice for North Dakota. We encountered a lot of bugs, a funny reminder of a British comedy classic, some home-made ice-cream and a good bottle of red. Read the full article for all the details.  

Marathon #41. We completed one of the Dakota States at the Sioux Falls Marathon. It involved visiting Falls Park, a German Oktoberfest in September (why not?!), Mike - the most talkative person we've met on a run and a surprise sub 4. We also reached half way in our 50 States journey. Read the full article here.

Marathon #40: Run With The Horses in Green River, Wyoming. Leah wins her first marathon!! Other features of this tough course were 8,000 feet altitude, our concern for sage bush, hills hills and hills and not even realising how well we were initially doing. Read the full article for details!

Marathon #39. July saw us run the Missoula Marathon in Montana. Farmer's Markets, Moose Drool coffee, a huge group of Marathon Maniacs, fireworks, sun, mountains, and a guy playing the piano in his garden while wearing a tuxedo. This race had it all. Read the full report here.

Marathon #38. The race report for the Mayor's Midnight Sun Marathon in Anchorage is now up. Alaska was an amazing experience with incredible sights but also a very tough marathon for us both. It involved a mountain hike, museum visit, running through Alaskan forest and unfortunately a lot of rain! Read more about it in the full article.  

It's taken a while (months!) but now all race reports spanning 2008 - 2013 have now been uploaded to the site. The first few of 2014 have also been uploaded, bringing the site in line with where the Facebook album stopped (London Marathon 2014 in April). Marathon reports can be viewed by going to "Marathons" in the menu and choosing a year, or at this page Now to work on the rest of 2014 🙂
