Chuck Engle Update
The last time we checked in with Chuck Engle, he was living in Mississippi. Since February, he's picked up a few more wins - he's up to 12 now! - and has relocated to Columbus, Ohio.
However, he is still running competitive marathons every single weekend! Here's the scorecard so far: 22 marathons -- 12 wins, 6 second-place and 3 third-place finishers.
The outliers? A fourth place finish at the New Jersey Marathon in Long Branch on April 30th, which was just 13 days after he ran Boston (in 2:48:16).
Fastest marathon: 2:31:34, Sarasota (Fla.) Marathon, 2:31:34 (2nd)
Fastest win: 2:34:22, Delaware Marathon, 2:34:22
Slowest win: 2:46:00, Katrina Relief Marathon, Clinton, MS
Slowest marathon: 2:53:21, Cherry Blossom Marathon, Macon, GA (2nd)

Last weekend, he was third in the Sunburst Marathon in South Bend, Indiana (which I can't imagine why Erin and Joe haven't run that one yet). Maybe we can all do it next year!
He's run marathons in 15 states so far this year and has the Lake Placid Marathon and the Mayor's Marathon in Alaska coming up the next two weekends.

I've never done the marathon, but I've done the half twice (and one other one when I was in college--the 5K maybe?) It's a very nice group of races--very well organized, considering that they have several thousand people running in four concurrent races.
Thanks for the update. This weekend I will be in Sun River Oregon for my first OR race and my 26th race of the year. This is half way for the year and I feel pretty good. Keep on checking in and keep encouraging the houston market for runners.
