That is my 13.1 in 50 story to date.
Now that I have done a few running trips, I am finding myself becoming more selective. I don't want to just go run to say that I did. I want a quality experience. A race that is well organized, is small enough so the participants are not treated like a bunch of cattle and herded around aimlessly, and I want a good and scenic race course. Later this year, I have 6 more states scheduled, that I feel sure will met my criteria. I have spent countless hours researching and feel I have some excellent trips ahead of me.

I am doing Washington and Utah in July.

Ocean Shores Big Weekend Tri & Foot Fest Half Marathon, in Ocean Shores Wa on Sunday July 10th,
Bryce Canyon Half Marathon Bryce Canyon, UT, Saturday July 16th

In September I am doing another 4 race Odyssey. 4 races in 3 weekends. Pennsylvania, New York, Rhode Island, New Hampshire

Erie Half Marathon at Presque Isle................... Sunday, September 18, Erie, PA
Hamptons Half Marathon.................Saturday, September 24 East Hampton, NY
Ocean's Run Half Marathon....................... Sunday, September 25 Matunuck, RI
Smuttynose Hampton Half Marathon... Sunday, October 2 Hampton Beach, NH

I also have a few triathlons scheduled for this year.

I am doing Siverlake Sprint May 15th. That is were the whole triathlon thing started for me. I look froward to having a chance to return to my beginnings.

Memorial day in Austin Texas is CapTexTri, billed as the premier Triathlon of Texas, it is nothing less, and is my absolute favorite race ever. It's charity is the Wounded Warrior Project, and to see the various members of the Armed Forces competing without one or more significant limbs can only bring a lump to my throat.

August 7th I am going to do Rivercities Sprint Trithalon in Shreveport Louisiana. My sister and brother-in-law are coming up to do it with me. it will be a real family Affair. Should be a great time.

Finally I am doing Galveston 5150 on October 23rd. Ironman has began hosting Olympic distance races. Oly's are my favorite distance. This is just 2 weeks after my 4 half marathon odyssey in New England, I should be ready for the run by then
