I got caught up in getting this second time finished. Hockensmith has made the circuit twice. Only one other woman in the United States has done the same. Being either highly motivated or scarily obsessed, Hockensmith would like to get to three times, too. But it ain't easy.
Some states have just one marathon a year.
Others have conflicting dates or the next thing to it. This means that Hockensmith, who has only weekends and summers free, spends a lot of time making flight connections. But Washington and Oregon are almost impossible to do in a weekend. Getting to some of these places and back is sometimes harder than running the marathon. But she does it, Cholesterol Boy.
