Gregg encouraged me to start running almost 5 years ago and has mentored me ever since. This has led to a spectacular journey for Jeannie and me to all corners of the USA with tons of wonderful, memorable experiences.<br />

The Master beats the student.<br />

The Jingle Bell Run was one of the best organized races. The Christmas setting at the Anatole Hotel was splendid. Parking was easy, the course was policed well, the results were posted quickly, and the after party had great food and refreshments.<br />

I flew to Scranton on Saturday afternoon (I met a wonderful lady on the plane, Phyllis, and her sister Dolores at the Scranton airport) and just made it in time to arrive at Scranton High School to pick up my bib and timing chip.<br />
They were closed and packing up, but since I came all the way from Texas, these two Steamtown volunteers found my running bib and packet for me.<br />

At the beginning of the year, my longest run had been 7 miles, and that was on a treadmill. Some ask me -- and often with an ugly attitude, "Why run a marathon?" -- sometimes followed by "idiot, old man, or fool.".<br />
Well, running marathons is the result of a confluence of 3 things that happened back in January.<br />
1) For my 2013 50-state goal, I wanted to complete runs in both Mississippi and Alabama on the same weekend last January.I signed up for a Saturday 5K in Biloxi, but to run on Sunday in Alabama, the only available race was a half marathon in Gulf Shores. (Not many races on Sundays in the South). Although I had never run more than 7 miles, I signed up, ran and finished the half (2:08:19), but it was extremely, extremely painful, and I thought, "Not going to do this again. I will stick to 5Ks."<br />
2) However running a half piqued my interest in qualifying times for the Boston Marathon. Turns out that for the 2015 BM, my qualifying time, when I will be 65, is 4 hours and 10 minutes, and a person 64 like me can try to qualify for the 2015 BM from about October, 2013, to September, 2014. <br />
3) I discovered the Jeff Galloway Run/Walk method for races. Panned by some, but it works for me. (I was fortunate to meet Jeff a couple of months ago in Anchorage where I ran a half marathon for my Alaska run). So I decided back in February to train and see what I could do, since running in the Boston Marathon would be something. Since I also prefer running downhill, I researched qualifying marathons with a sizeable elevation drop, and decided my first would be today's <span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Steamtown Marathon in Scranton, PA.</span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"></span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Steamtown starts at Forest City HS, in Forest City, Pennsylvania, and runners are bussed there from downtown Scranton (my bus left at 6:15 a.m.).</span><br />
This is a well organized marathon, and when you get off the bus, student volunteers escort you to a warm room in the high school where you can rest until the 8:00 a.m. start.<br />

I found this chair 30 yards past the finish line and sat there for 20 minutes. They had the wheel chair ready. <br />
After some food and water, I took a few pics.<br />

So this leaves just one more state, Texas, and one more race to complete 5Ks or longer in every state since January 1, 2013. <br />
However the last 5K will include a blood match between me and my friend Gregg. Below, we are in Saint Louis two years ago for game 2 of the World Series.<br />
Gregg started me running a few years ago after he suggested that my high cholesterol and I did not have much time left on earth. <br />
He provided a 5-month couch to 5K program and a lot of encouragement.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="line-height: 1.3em;">About a year and 9 months ago when I was getting faster at the 5K distance and Gregg was a little heavy, I suggested that I might be able to beat him in a 5K. He took extreme umbrage at this and said, "NO WAY." His kids were eating lunch with us, or he might have included a expletive between the NO and the WAY.</span>So we set up a time for a 5K, but before the race, he broke his ankle playing softball.I went to comfort him in the emergency room (October, 2012), and he set a new time right in the hospital for our 5K race, about 12-13-13, in 14 months.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
So in the mean time, I decided to run in every state in 2013. So far, I have completed a race in 49 states and DC since January 1, 2013. .<span style="line-height: 1.3em;">1 marathon</span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">3 half marathons</span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">1 </span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">10K</span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">1 5-mile run</span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">1 8K</span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">1 4-mile run</span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">42 5Ks</span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"></span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">In two months, the Texas race involving Gregg will complete all 50 states and DC in 2013.</span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Gregg is the favorite against me, but I am retired and focused, and Gregg has a 60 hour a week job, three kids and a wife, a few extra pounds that may not go away, and he severely broke his ankle just a year ago. So I'm saying, I have a chance.</span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"></span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Scranton and the Steamtown Marathon are great. The fall foliage is super. I recommend a visit and signing up for a future Steamtown Marathon.</span><br />

Thanks to Alaska Airlines credit card miles, just $10 to fly to Anchorage and back, about the gas and toll cost to drive one-way to the Ball Park in Arlington for a Rangers game or the cost there of a coke and hot dog.<br />
When I was 11 in Houston, a friend told me about his great weekend. He went deer hunting. In 30 degree rainy weather, he sat in a deer blind from sunrise to the afternoon. He saw one deer, and it was too far away to take a shot. I said, "That sounds horrible and boring.". He said, "It was fun."<br />

Admittedly, it is crazy to fly from DFW (at dawn below) to Alaska on a Saturday, run 13.1 miles on Sunday, and fly back to Dallas on Monday. <br />

At the awards party, this is Race Director Sharron Fisherman handing me my driver's license which I lost during the race. Someone found it along with my hotel key and turned it into her. The $10 bill I also lost was not returned.<br />

The orchestra played the famous 1812 Overture which included live cannon. Jeannie and I have watched this many times over the years, and were excited to watch this performance in person.<br />

We also met a wonderful graduate student, Nidhi, from India. She showed us where to watch the fireworks.<br />

<strong style="font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;">Harvard Pilgrim 5K Finish at the 50</strong> (the 50 yard line at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots)<br />
<br />
This 5K starts right outside of the NE Patriots' stadium. <br />
After running about 2 miles outside and around the stadium, the runners enter the stadium, but they immediately have to run these ramps to the top.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;">

<br />
Then you run around the top tier of the stadium, run down the ramps, go back outside the stadium and then enter again, but on the field, finishing at the 50 yard line.<br />
<br />
An hour before the 5:30 p.m. start. 88 degrees.<br />

Dan, who lives in Bristol, Connecticut and works for ESPN, is also trying to run a 5K in every state, although on a longer timetable. He has completed about 10 so far. It was great to see him again.<br />

Just before the start, I heard someone yelling Walter.<br />
This is Roberta who grew up in Hartford and now lives in Glastonbury. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I met her in 1975 at the Sammy Davis Junior Greater Hartford Open when I was caddying for a friend from Dallas. Roberta was in charge of the caddys, and the first thing that she said to me was that I could not wear shorts. I would have to take them off.<br />
Roberta was the youngest delegate to the 1972 National Republican Convention and she seconded the nomination of Spiro Agnew for VP.<br />
<br />
Although we are FB friends, it had been over 30 years since I have seen Roberta.<br />
<br />
5 seconds after our photo, the horn sounded to start the 5K.<br />

Official chip time: 43:19. A great time for me for a five mile run, an 8:39 mile pace, but..<br />
Finished 220th out of 524 and 13th out of 25 in my age group. This was the fastest group of 60 - 64 year old runners of all the runs I have done.<br />

Many of us were under the tents, but after 30 minutes, the rain was still strong, and they took down the tents.<br />

I got soaked again running to the car, so this turned out to be a 5 and 1/2 miler.<br />

Saturday night, June 22: Texas Rangers at the St Louis Cardinals<br />
GrandSlamTrip Baseball Game #10<br />
<br />
Friends David and Marla (in the middle) from Springfield, Missouri, drove to St Louis to join us for Saturday night's game. <br />
The two on the right got engaged today. That is David's daughter Courtney and her fiancé Joe. They make a great couple, and we wish them a long and happy marriage.<br />
