The Marathon

The Marathon

The blogs I have written feature various people I have met and things I have done and seen in the relationship of over 60 years I have had with the Ultimate Human Race. Initially I left all of these in the order I originally wrote them but after that I arranged them into various categories that might be of interest to the reader and these categories are listed in the menu. In the photo collage above I show a few of the activities I have enjoyed in my world of road running over the years.
