After crossing one of the items off my bucket list when I jumped out of a plane at 13,500 feet,  I was reminded that the first item on my bucket list is to complete at least one marathon in each state.  So, of course, what better place to track this ongoing goal than here, alongside my training and random fitness adventures.

I am a far cry away from a world traveler. Sadly I haven’t even traveled to many of the fifty states.  To motivate myself to travel and to motivate myself to run I decided that I will run a marathon in each state.  I haven’t set a deadline for this, but clearly this will not be something to check off quickly… here’s to what will most likely take a lifetime to complete: 50 states, 50 marathons.
