A 50 State Quest Update

 

A lot has happened, or should I say NOT happened, since my last update. I've been stuck at 12 states to go since last year. I decided to move forward with half marathons for now, especially since we are on the final stretch of Jamie's quest! 4 more states to go for her! (Michigan, Vermont, and Maine this year, and the grand finale in Hawaii next year). I've had issues with my back off and on, and pulled an adductor muscle last summer training for Alaska. Also, after last summer's training in the heat (a big fail) I have decided I just can't handle the heat anymore. Until next summer rolls around I'm going to keep trying to make it to another marathon though. I'm targeting Nebraska in May, and/or possibly Michigan in June. I have to say, regardless, this has and continues to be a lot of fun, especially now that Toby is on a roll with marathons. I've made a map for him too:

2023 is going to be one crazy year, that's for sure. The "quest", whatever it ends up being, continues...
