I completed 3 marathons in 50 days in 2012 and got into the Marathon Maniacs at the lowest level.

Originally I set a goal to try to only run 1 race a week but I fell off that pretty quickly. My current goal for 2013 is to participate in 100 races. As of today I've completed 61 races but I'll make a separate post about those because I don't have all the times/paces set for each race yet.
