Marathons A - Z

I met Alan Headbloom a couple months ago who will be joining our Grand Rapids Marathon staff for 2007.  He's not only got a great attitude, he's got a great approach to marathons.  He's running a different marathon for every letter of the alphabet.  So far, A - Austin, B - Boston, C - Chicago, D - Detroit, F - Fargo, J - Jacksonville, N - New York, P - Paris, S - Stockholm, T - Tecumseh Trail (Indiana).  Only sixteen letters to go.  I like this guy.

If I run ca. 2.5 marathons a year, I can finish this quest by age 60, have a quilt made from the 26 teeshirts, and then move on to something saner...like running half-marathons! If you haven't signed up for a fall marathon yet, spots are still open for the 4th annual Grand Rapids Marathon. Come experience the colors and hospitality that W. Michigan has to offer. The GRM...it's thonalicious!
