Wyoming | Dirt roads in Cheyenne

January 27, 2023

Back to backs always bring out something just a little extra. Knowing that I have a race the next day is one thing, but the competitor in me just won’t “take it easy” on that first day and instead I put in as much as full effort as I can in each race. This can … More Wyoming | Dirt roads in Cheyenne

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

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

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

Kansas | Windy 50k on the Prairie Spirit

April 30, 2018

As states keep getting knocked off the list, Kaela and I are having to be strategic in travel plans to make our trips as purposeful as we can. I am getting to a point where driving to races is a longer adventure and with that we threw around the idea of trying to knock out … More Kansas | Windy 50k on the Prairie Spirit

Maryland | Hashawha Hills 50k

March 29, 2018

After a great finish to 2017 with a couple of world major marathons, I had big intentions for 2018. I planned a packed schedule that would stretch my limits and also get a good number of states completed as well. This year started just as last year planning to run Mississippi Blues Marathon. If you … More Maryland | Hashawha Hills 50k

New York | TCS NYC Marathon

February 23, 2018

After 3 years of entering the lottery, I was finally accepted into the New York City Marathon! Let me catch you up on the busy summer/fall of 2017 leading up to what has become my favorite marathon to date.   After Grandma’s Marathon I took a little time off running to try and get my … More New York | TCS NYC Marathon

Minnesota | A little run to Grandma’s

November 23, 2017

The day before the Chicago marathon, Kaela and I were sitting on Mike’s couch browsing through the “Race Guide” they hand out to all participants. It has some information about the race but its mostly an opportunity for sponsors and other races to spread their messages. It must have worked pretty well on me because … More Minnesota | A little run to Grandma’s
