I've run 17 marathons. That sounds like a lot. It is a lot, I know. And I have another marathon in April, which will make 18. I also have 10 states that I've run in. It sounded like a lot to me as well. And then I did a project that had been in my mind for awhile, and I realized how few marathons I've actually completed in a very few amount of states with regards to my ultimate goal. I have lofty goals of becoming a 50 stater...ie, running a marathon in all 50 states...and while I don't know if I will actually reach that goal, that is the reason I'm running each new marathon in a different state.
My project was putting a flag in each location I've run my race with the date/time of that race. In the future, I'd love to have it displayed in an office (or another appropriate space) along with my medals and bib numbers from those races, but currently the map is placed inside our closet wall :) Oh well, at least I can see every morning I go to get dressed, haha.
So the picture you see literally shows you every race I've run. I have 3 colors for specific time ranges, and I'm excited to continue to be able to put flags on the map.
