Larry Macon may not be the fastest runner on a marathon course. But the 64-year-old San Antonio lawyer zips through finishers’ chutes at elite speed. When your weekend itinerary usually involves running two—sometimes three—marathons, there’s always a plane to catch or a long drive ahead to get to the next starting line. “If I have time, I’ll shower at the hotel,” says the five-hour marathoner. “But usually life isn’t that good. So I’ll change at a stoplight. I’ve gotten good at it. I haven’t been arrested for indecent exposure yet.”
