I’ve raced a lot over the years. Friends are always asking for race recommendations, asking which races I have done and which I haven’t. Yet. So I created this running resume, a list of my past races. It’s also just a helpful place for me to remember what I’ve done and look back and reflect on my progress. The races after 2015 when I started the blog have links to race recaps.
I began in 2008, just dabbling with races. When I finished my first marathon (October 2013) I was hooked and decided to pursue running a marathon in every state. Through that training, I began entering into lots of other races. Now, distances from 5ks to halfs have become a regular part of my training. Even marathons are becoming part of my ultra training!
Once I developed a larger running network, I started repeating states in order to run marathons with friends. While I still think it would be great to run a marathon in each state, I’m putting that on the back burner and instead setting goals of doing races with friends. That and getting the World Majors. I like to travel, I like to race, I like to do all that with friends. Why not take “runcations?”
