I wish I started running earlier. I used to have a job that allowed me to go to conferences all over the country. There was a 5k at each conference. They always closed out in hours. At the time, I thought people were nuts to get up at 7 am to run. But for the last conference that I went to (2006), I registered and walked the 5k (in 45 min.) I started to see how much fun everyone was having.
I visited 8 cities/states for those conferences (San Diego, Seattle, Baltimore, Atlanta, Chicago, San Antonio, Philly, New Orleans). Too bad, I wasn’t a runner then.
Now I am 61. I have run in 5 states so far.
Run in all 50 states?! Not likely. But I will do my best to run in some more different states.
I’d say my goal is 15 states.
Many bloggers are pursuing the goal of running in ALL 50 states:
Happy Running! How many states have you run in? Do you plan to run in all 50?


What a cool idea! Now I wanna do it!

As you know, that’s my goal. But since I only do 2-3 a year & I started at 50 – you do the math! I’ve done HMs in NV (twice), TX, RI, NH & will add MA next month. So only 5 states so far. Montreal doesn’t count as a state, obviously.
I have run in more states – just run, not race.
I do far less shorter races than you – you race every week! That’s part of how I can do it. That & my husband has a lot of frequent flyer miles. 🙂

Inspiring post, I would like to race in the countries where I go for work but I never stay there for the week end. However I have raced in Scotland (twice), Germany, Greece and made workouts in many countries: China, England, Sweden, Scotland, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Wales, England, Ireland, Greece, USA (N.Y., Washington dc, Virginia, West Virginia, California, Nevada, Illinois), Spain……..

Where’d you find the map above to color in the states? Good luck on your 15 state goal! Keep pursuing, and maybe you’ll end up with 20 instead. Good luck 🙂
