Goal: To run a half marathon in all 50 states by age 35.
I must admit, the age 35 was a bit arbitray when I picked it. At the time, I figured 8 1/2 years would be enough time to hit that goal. I decided to do it because I wanted to travel. And why else would I go to a random state like Nebraska? Or Alabama? No offense to those states by any means, I just wouldn't really consider going there before. So I decided, what better way to see this beautiful country of ours than to run through it?
Late 2015 I decided to sign up for the inaugural Paris Disney Half marathon, happening in September 2016. That decision meant I would have to put my 50 states dream on hold for a bit, since quite frankly I don't have the money or vacation time to do all of it. So the goal is still happening! With a tentative due date of 12/25/2021, the day before I turn 35. It'll be tight, but if I have to go to 10 states a year, then why not? Check back here for a look at my current progress!
