Runner’s World+ member Joe Huber admits he didn’t choose the easiest hobby.
While others might collect baseball cards, say, or perhaps restore antique furniture, the 71-year-old retiree from Pine Brook, NJ, instead runs marathons—137 and counting, to be precise.

In 1982, he began logging miles with some buddies, one of whom had run the Boston Marathon, so he decided to aim for 26.2 miles in Beantown, too. (Hey, why not?)
