2016 year-in-review

2016 was not just another great year of running and travel but my final year in my quest to complete all 50 states.  Completing Michigan in October put me at 49. That leaves just one to go.  So I’ll be flying to Hawaii next month to complete 50!

The final tally for 2016 came in at three states/half marathons. These were Montana, Alaska and Michigan, completing all states on the mainland.  Joining me in Hawaii will be 15 of my friends and family.

It was a great year. Now I look toward 2017 not only to complete this challenge but begin my next.  More details on that to come.

Following is my year in photos where I selected some favorites from each trip.
