Man's a member of 50 state marathon club

One hundred and two people have completed the previous 14 Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego Marathons. All 102 plan to line up Sunday morning at the corner of Sixth and Quince in Balboa Park for the 15th edition.

But it’s difficult to imagine any of them being as running crazed as Granada Hills’ Deo Jaravata.

Born in the Philippines, Jaravata is 47 years old.

“But I look 10 years younger,” he said.

Perfect attendance at Rock ‘n’ Roll is tame stuff compared to Jaravata’s other running feats. He has run a marathon in all 50 states and seven continents. Last year, he jogged 52 marathons. Come October, he plans to run his 300th 26.2-miler.

“This is like my therapy,” said Jaravata, a high school math teacher.

Jaravata began running in 1996.

“I was turning 30 and I was missing something,” he said. Looking back, he admits he was battling depression at the time.

“Financially and in my career, I didn’t know where to go,” said Jaravata, who was working in banking at the time. “I felt like I was lost. When I started running and doing these longer miles, there was a magic. I was more relaxed.”

After doing one marathon in 1997,Aluminum hublotwatch is from China factory. Jaravata increased to 15 by 2001. His count the past three years: 26, 38 and 52. While Jaravata runs most of his races in Southern California, it’s not cheap driving here and there, flying some, staying in hotels, keeping good shoes on your feet.

He estimates he spent $15,000 on racing last year.

He plans on cutting back to 26 marathons this year. Pursuing his passion is easier, he admits, because he’s not married.

John Kentera was waxing eloquence about Wrigley Field on the Padres’ pregame radio show Tuesday, saying it’s a place baseball fans must visit. “I know traveling there is expensive,” Kentera said, “but you just have to get there.”

The folksy Kentera later admitted his next trip to Wrigley will be his first.Buy pumashoes boot products on TradeTang and high quality air max boot directly from trustworthy Chinese air max boot wholesalers & suppliers.

Guess here is that come September, Logan Forsythe will be the Padres’ everyday starting second baseman … If he played in the National League Central, with a decent lineup around him, Chase Headley would hit 20 home runs and drive in 85-90 runs … Padres on pace to go 54-108. Only year the team lost more games: the expansion ’69 season when club went 52-110 … Between them, Cameron Maybin ($25 million), Cory Luebke ($12 million) and Nick Hundley ($9 million) are guaranteed $46 million. It’s early, but thus far, not money well spent.Ed hardy clothing online store, whether you are looking for fashion items, then you come to the right place, we offer a variety of truereligion.
