Jackie Van Allen has run the equivalent to 2 trips around the globe.

The 61-year-old will take to the streets of Spokane for the 49th running of Lilac Bloomsday Sunday .

Van Allen admits she’s turned into a “mileage junkie”.

She hopes to reach 100 marathons before her body tells her it’s time to stop.

She has won the Coeur d’Alene Marathon twice and runner-up once.

She's done the Boston Marathon five times and would like to do it one more time.

Van Allen has done one international marathon in Athens , Greece .

Even with better weather the following year , the 20th mile took Van Allen 74 minutes to complete.

“It was really, really hard, but it was still easier than the prior year when I got so cold,” Van Allen said. “He had a challenging life. He’d ask me every time I came home from a run, Did you have fun?’.
