Read on to discover the coolest parts about the race and what's next on his running agenda. **![Dale running the Paris Marathon and celebrating with medal in front of Parisian architecture ](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ParisMarathon.jpg?width=5760&name=ParisMarathon.jpg) RC:** What number marathon was this for you? ****DJ:**** 11th. (Columbia, SC, two in Jacksonville, two in Miami, Washington, Poland, New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago and Paris) **RC:** How did you decide on the [Paris Marathon](https://www.schneiderelectricparismarathon.com/en/registration/participate)? **DJ:** I didn’t get a lottery entry into the London Marathon, so Paris was the next choice in Europe for my wife, Robin, and I to visit.   **RC:** How long have you been distance running? **DJ:** Since 2011. **RC:** What was the coolest part about the race? **DJ:** The sights and sites. Listening to everyone cheer in French. Running past Eiffel, Opera House, Grand Palace, The Louvre, Champs Elysees Ave., Notre Dame, The Seine River, The Bastille, and more.  **RC:** What was the most challenging? **DJ:** No Gatorade; only water, cobble stone streets, and white tablecloth, open buffet food on tables such as peeled bananas, pretzels, sponge cake squares, and sugar cubes — it was not enough to help me fuel up as I missed my [Huma gels](https://humagel.com/) in Florida.   **RC:** What was your pre-race meal in Paris? **DJ:** Peanut butter and baguettes.   **Regency Centers:** What’s next for you? **DJ:** Robin and I have submitted international ballots for the [London Marathon](https://www.virginmoneylondonmarathon.com/en-gb/how-to-enter/). If we do not get in, then I will apply for Tokyo or Berlin marathons in spring 2020. In the meantime, I feel like my training has been too much running. Robin and I are looking forward to getting back to boxing and Orange Theory Fitness classes to get our general strength back. I am also starting a 10-week maintenance program with Run Smart Online for their Yoga, Base 3, and Prime workouts.   ##### Connect With Us [Join Our Mailing List](https://www.regencycenters.com/connect-with-us/)  > [Explore Our Markets](https://www.regencycenters.com/properties/our-markets)  > [Find a Space For Your Place](https://www.regencycenters.com/properties)  > ##### Related Stories [May 14 Regency Centers Earns 18th Consecutive First Coast Healthiest Companies Award](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/18th-first-coast-healthiest-companies-award) [Feb 05 Regency Centers Announces Lone Tree Village Development in Colorado](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/regency-centers-announces-lone-tree-village-a-king-soopers-anchored-retail-destination-serving-the-ridgegate-community) [Jan 29 Regency Centers Acquires Mount Sinai Shopping Center in Long Island](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/mount-sinai-shopping-center-in-long-island) [Jan 07 Out of Office: Jill Caffey's “Everesting” Climb of a Lifetime](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/out-of-office-jill-caffeys-climb-of-a-lifetime) [Nov 09 Out of Office: Hit the Slopes with Gary Fields and Eric Ryan](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/out-of-office-hit-the-slopes-with-gary-fields-and-eric-ryan) [Oct 27 Out of Office: Erika Omana Mentors through 'Minds Matter' Los Angeles](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/out-of-office-erika-omana) [Aug 04 CIO Dale Johnston Awarded Jax Biz Journal Tech Leader of the Year](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/dale-johnston-leader-of-the-year) [Aug 29 Dale Johnston Presents IT Scholarship to Local Student at Jacksonville IT Council](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/dale-johnston-tech-talk-scholarship) [Feb 13 Out of Office: Regency Runners Hit Milestones in Recent Distance Race](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/out-of-office-regency-runners-tackle-26.2-with-donna-breast-cancer-marathon) [Feb 13 Out of Office: Regency Runners Hit Milestones in Recent Distance Race](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/out-of-office-regency-runners-tackle-26.2-with-donna-breast-cancer-marathon) [Oct 17 Out of Office: A Q&A with Regency's Star Steppers](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/star-steppers-out-of-office) [Dec 12 Out of Office: Alyson Gannon Takes to the Stage for Local Production of “Grease”](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/out-of-office-alyson-gannon-takes-to-the-stage-for-local-production-of-grease) [Nov 21 Out of Office: Stephanie Brennan Answers Call of the Wild to Volunteer With Animals](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/out-of-office-stephanie-brennan-answers-the-call-of-the-wild-to-volunteer-with-animals) [Jan 07 Out of Office: Jill Caffey's “Everesting” Climb of a Lifetime](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/out-of-office-jill-caffeys-climb-of-a-lifetime) Subscribe [![Regency Centers](https://www.regencycenters.com/ResourcePackages/Regency/assets/dist/images/regency-centers.svg)](https://connect.regencycenters.com/) -
