We are on a mission to run (at least) a half marathon in all 50 states, so a big majority of our travel tends to revolve around races that correlate with our time off. As of July 2021 we are 33 states down, 17 to go! We love this endeavor because we are so often reminded that there is something to be seen everywhere! Some of the most beautiful races have been in states that we might not have chosen to vacation to otherwise.
In addition to half marathons, we have also tackled a handful of ultramarathons. We have both run two 50ks, a 50 miler, and TR has run a 100k and two 100 milers! (Click for videos) It’s incredible what the body can do if the mind will let it!
Another fun challenge we did during Covid while we had close to 15 races cancelled, was the David Goggins 4x4x48 Challenge. Every 4 hours we ran 4 miles, for 48 hours straight. It was definitely tough but such a fun accomplishment to endure together!
Not an organized race but our next big challenge coming up is running Rim to Rim to Rim at the Grand Canyon in October 2021 – stay tuned!
