Races

Below are the Races and Times since my accident. They are not mind blowing if you look at the average runner, but I struggle to run - so to achieve these times, they have quite literally felt like they were blowing my mind (not in the good way).

Each race marks my best, so each improvement shows my growth - not just in my running, but in my overall health.  Like everyone that puts one foot in front of another, the results are hard earned... so please don't judge too harshly.

Neil and I have the fun and lofty goal to run 50 races, one in each of the 50 states, before we turn 50. Our 50 in 50 by 50 races are numbered and in bold - they also tell a bit of the places we visit. On this topic, I'd always love input on where to run next!
