MY QUEST TO 50
9 DOWN 41 TO GO
JULY 12, 2014
HALF MARATHON (13.1 Miles)
In one month I will be on my way to Denver to fulfill
another race towards my quest to running 50 states. Denver, Colorado will be my 10th
state and my 16th Half Marathon. I still amaze myself on how I’ve
done 16 half marathons and only started running in 2009. Not sure how my body
will react to the high altitude and running in thinner air but I’m just excited
to be running there.
Colorado has been on my bucket list to visit, you ask why there,
why not Europe or someplace exotic where people usually plan their bucket list.
I was born in Colorado Springs and left at the age of 2. My dad was stationed
there in the Army that’s how I ended up being born there. At the age of 2 you
don’t leave with many memories so it’s a place I’ve wanted to go back to.
So along with my race I will be going to Colorado Springs
where I was born and go visit Pikes Peak and visit the Rocky Mountains and take
it the beauty of Colorado.
Here are a list of states I’ve ran already

Las Vegas, Nevada
