50 Marathons 50 States

In 2007 I ran my first marathon in Las Vegas, NV.  For some stupid reason I wanted to attempt to run a marathon in all 50 states.  I have done 20 so far, and here's a super quick recap:

1)  Las Vegas, NV - cold, hella Elvises (Elvi?)
2)  Sacramento, CA - cold, all downhill
3)  Seattle, WA - hilly, Seahawks are stupid
4)  Cocoa Beach, FL - along the water, space themed
5)  Nashville, TN - surprisingly hilly and HOT
6)  San Antonio, TX - also hot
7)  Tulsa, OK - cold and only a week after #6
8)  Cleveland, OH - Bone Thugs are from Cleveland
9)  Anchorage, AK - PR by about 30 seconds
10) Richmond, VA - Ate foie gras to celebrate #10
11) Baton Rouge, LA - 49ers win NFC championship game
12) Atlanta, GA - super hilly
13) Duluth, MN - running through a wall of fog
14) Bend, OR - PR for worst time ever
15) Cape May, NJ - Rainy
16) Wausau, WI - Running in a sauna
17) Dearborn, MI - Martian themed
18) Chicago, IL - Crowded and my favorite marathon
19) Buffalo, NY - hot but awesome course support
20) Huntsville, AL - more on this later

 I will have a more detailed write up on Huntsville later.  On the map below, the yellow states are the ones I've done.  Those flyover states aren't really getting any love.  Sad day.

State 20: Huntsville, AL
