The Intention

The day I ran the NYC marathon was the day I decided that I wasn't going to stop. Sure, I've been running for over a decade now, but I've only been running in events for the last few years.

The NYC Marathon is a bucket list race for millions of runners and I had the distinct opportunity to run it. 

So I thought, "why stop here?" 

There are so many other running events out in this great world, so much more soil and concrete to add to my soles.

 I don't want to do what others have done. I don't want to run Boston (yet!). I don't want to run internationally (yet!). I don't want to run fifty marathons in fifty states. I don't want to run fifty half-marathons in every state. 

I want to run an event in every state, regardless of distance. I want to run in places that I only just now started to dream I could run. I want to run in gorgeous locations. I want to run events that have funny names or promise lots of free beer. I just want to run. 

I won't do it alone. I'll need help. I'll need my friends--alumni of Pepperdine and Columbia; Gamma Phi Betas I've met along the way; and Team RWB #eaglenation--all of whom are so wonderfully disbursed across the country. 

This is gonna be huge. This is gonna be great. I can't wait.
