MY QUEST TO 50- DENVER, COLORADO


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

·         New York, New York

·         Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

·         New Orleans, Louisiana

·         Hartford, Connecticut

·         Providence, Rhode Island

·         Long Branch, New Jersey

·         Wilmington, Delaware

·         Washington, DC –I know not a state but I’m counting it ha
