Colorado | Getting baked (in the sun)

October 9, 2022

Coming off of a fun race in Montana, I felt like I was in a really good place with how my training had been going. I knew I could have probably tackled that race a little better (still figuring out stomach fun) but all things considered, I was pleased with the race. The next races … More Colorado | Getting baked (in the sun)

Montana | Governors Cup Marathon

July 31, 2022

Coming off the Fargo Marathon, I took some time to just enjoy simple maintenance running. October running felt great. Well that is until it wasn’t. By the end of October I started having some lingering foot pain again which turned into me shutting things down after a 4-miler on Thanksgiving back in Ohio. I felt … More Montana | Governors Cup Marathon

North Dakota | Fargo Marathon

November 10, 2021

Sometimes you just need rest. And sometimes when you don’t listen to your body, it just forces the rest upon you. After the Q50 in Louisiana, my body was ready for a rest and with an inflamed post tib tendon diagnosis I ended up in physical therapy. I spent most of the spring resting and … More North Dakota | Fargo Marathon

Louisiana | Q50 Trail Extravaganza

September 30, 2021

So much took place in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic shook up everyone in one way or another. It helped many of us see what was actually important in our lives and then take the appropriate steps to make sure those items filled more of our time. I learned to value races as they weren’t always … More Louisiana | Q50 Trail Extravaganza

Mississippi | The Blues

May 15, 2020

“Didn’t we already go down to Jackson?” This was Kaela’s response when I told her about the first race I was planning for 2020. If you remember from my Nashville race report, the Mississippi Blues marathon was supposed to be completed in 2017. The only problem was that upwards of a ¼ inch of ice … More Mississippi | The Blues

Rhode Island | Beauty of Newport

February 26, 2020

Back to back races always make for an interesting adventure. Over the past few years, whenever I find a race I like, I take a look at the surrounding states and see what else I can do. After finding the race in Hartford and seeing that another race was happening the next day just a … More Rhode Island | Beauty of Newport

Connecticut | Hartford Marathon

January 31, 2020

Considering I came into this race just a few weeks removed from Morgantown, with only about 26 miles of training, I was surprisingly feeling pretty good. It was time to make our first trip out to the New England states to start chipping away at them. In typical fashion, Kaela and I wanted to make … More Connecticut | Hartford Marathon

Oregon | Beautiful Timothy Lake

August 1, 2019

When Kaela and I started planning out races for this 50 states journey, we knew the west coast would be a challenge. Since we would not have the ability to drive in a weekend, flights were going to be the main mode of transportation. Due to cost and time this made planning difficult. After I … More Oregon | Beautiful Timothy Lake

South Dakota | Brookings Marathon

July 27, 2019

Like many of the races on this adventure, my journey to South Dakota started with a visit to RunningInTheUSA.com. I noticed that the Brookings Marathon was having its 50th anniversary in 2019 and after registering for the 60th annual race in Atlantic City (I had not yet run it), I thought it would be fun … More South Dakota | Brookings Marathon

Texas | Hills of Cowtown

July 11, 2019

Back in Oklahoma last year I had the pleasure of spending a good part of the race with Chasidy. After some chatting about my goal she recommended a race in Texas. She had talked about how challenging the hills in the race were and said that she thought it would be something that I would … More Texas | Hills of Cowtown
