New Jersey Marathon





I ran 4:08:59 at the New Jersey Marathon. My first Marathon in ten years!

The weather was spectacular, but deceptively warm. No shade from the blaring sun.

The course was as they say, "flat, fast and scenic". Ocean front start and finish in Long Branch. Marathoners ran through the towns of Monmouth Beach, Oceanport, Deal, Allenhurst, Loch Arbour, Asbury Park & Ocean Grove.

I was hoping for a little faster time, but leg cramps slowed me down considerably during the second half of the race.
