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

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

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

Tennessee | Hot and Humid Hills of Nashville

July 22, 2017

Well the story of how I ended up at the St. Jude’s Rock and Roll Nashville marathon is quite an interesting one. A few years ago, when I was looking for different races to complete, this race popped up as a fun race in TN. Not being a big country music fan, I decided to … More Tennessee | Hot and Humid Hills of Nashville

Missouri | Sneaky hills of St Louis

May 29, 2017

There are just some races that I have wanted to run after reading an article about them or seeing a booth at an expo. The Go! St Louis marathon was exactly one of those. I don’t remember where I first heard about it, but it has been on my “to do” list for a few … More Missouri | Sneaky hills of St Louis

South Carolina | Cold and windy Myrtle Beach

April 15, 2017

I finally made it to the first race of 2017! This was supposed to happen back in the beginning of January but mother nature had different plans in Jackson, Mississippi. I was registered to run the Mississippi Blues marathon, but due to abnormally icy weather, the race was cancelled at 9pm the night before the … More South Carolina | Cold and windy Myrtle Beach

California | Big Sur

August 17, 2016

As I was originally planning out this journey of all tackling all 50 states, I decided to make a master list of all the “must do” marathons with their respective states. I did some research online, compiling multiple lists of the best races in the country and then from there picking out my favorites. Many … More California | Big Sur
