Marathon running in the Northeast is pretty limited in January and February, but I found my share of them in the spring. On March 21, 2015 I rant the Shoreline Sharks Marathon in Connecticut. I was lucky enough to be able to go to Hawaii in late March/early April and when I got back knocked out the Kingston Classic Marathon in April, the Kingston and Rhinebeck Marathons in May. Now the concept of running a marathon a year ago was something I couldn’t fathom much less have confidence I could complete, but I was thrilled to run Providence, Kingston, and Rhinebeck over a 4 week period. Completely different marathons. Kingston, the first, was predominately a trail-based marathon. Nice size crowd – perhaps 75 – 100. Providence was much larger – perhaps several hundred. Rhinebeck – the Travel by F.E.A.T. marathon had 33 hearty souls start and 29 finish. Great rolling back roads and massive support amongst runners as we cheered each other on.
