I am running a half in all 50 states* which means as long as it starts, goes through, or ends in a state it counts. I'll be at state 25 by year's end and will be complete in 5 years. My wooden plaque though reminded me it'll be "51" as they included Washington, D.C. lol.
I was like you thinking just CA, but at 48 I was like nope, get out …

I was like you thinking just CA, but at 48 I was like nope, get out there and let's do this. I'm 54 now and would be closer to the gol but the pandemic slowed that a bit.
Terrell, I do now. I lived in CA until 2020 when I moved to MN after my divorce finalized and starting over. I chuckle as this past winter was colder and more snow than in the past so I signed up for 11 states this year (ended last year at state 14). I now have a spreadsheet to keep me on track and not overdoing it. I'm blessed though as I get to travel and meet new people and places, and run off the crazy!😄🤪🏃♀️
Maine (Flight Deck) is next weekend and Indiana (Monumental) in 6 weeks. I take a break until January in Louisiana.
Julia, that's so great! I secretly have a goal to run in every state but I'm 58, and I'm only up to maybe six. I've decided they don't have to be half marathons as long as I run an event. Even still though with 44 to go it's going to take a long time. But this year I'm adding Mississippi and Virginia thanks to our half marathon or Richmond Meetup.

Happy Friday!
This is awesome, Julia! Do you have them all planned out? Which ones are on your list for the rest of this year?

Great job! It's all about getting out there!😃
