Congrats to on this amazing achievement. Pat and I started working together a little over 10 years ago with her big goal being to run a marathon in all 50 states. She achieved it in December running a speedy one to wrap up this long time coming but super cool thing. She’s also raced in a few other countries, do I see a new goal coming to race in as many countries or continents as possible? I can’t wait to see!

Patricia “Pat” Murphy has crossed marathon finish lines in all 50 states, completing her 15-year journey with a race in Hawaii last month.

Looking forward to seeing Kev and Kelsey put themselves out there this weekend!

Time 2 Race
Tomorrow I will be flying out to toe the line at the marathon. It just hit me in the last few weeks, that it has been almost 3 years since my last marathon, so I guess I’m going to call this my come back race lol.
This training cycle was one of a kind. Different training approach by , training at sea level, and having incredible friends old and new that have push me and pulled me along throughout this training cycle.
Overall, it’s been the best build up I’ve ever had for a marathon. I’ve broken workout PRs, and have felt the strongest running than I’ve felt in a very long time. I’m not sure what I’m going to run this Saturday, but I know I’m going to ride that pain train and hopefully surprise myself!
