"My first marathon was St. George, my fastest marathon was St. George and my 50th marathon will be St. George," Michie said.

Michie has also run marathons in Boston, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Montreal, Paris and Edinburgh, Scotland.

Next year, he’ll run in Myrtle Beach, S.C., Chicago and St. Petersburg, Russia.

"I’m having fun and I see the benefits," he said. "I take no pills. I feel good."
