8 States of running

2012 has been an interesting year for the Blades family during which I have managed to go for a run in eight States in the USA, we didn't plan this but sometimes things just work out that way.  While filling out this post I realised I missed an opportunity to run in Kansas so looks like we will be returning one day to Kansas so that I can run in all 50 States of the USA!  During these runs I have managed to cover a variety of terrain from beaches to snow.

So here my 8 States of running for 2012

1. Florida

Beach run with Amanda

2. Texas

Shoe test during our short trip to Texas

3. Oklahoma 

5km race on closed roads and I won a medal :)

4. Colorado

Near the airport from another hotel, least this was at a lower elevation compared to where I had been running.  :) 

5. Nebraska 

Gravel road running in the heat :) followed by water skiing.

6. Missouri

Cool and windy, should have turned the other way from the hotel and picked up the bike trail, oh well live and learn.

7. Arkansas

Warm run with nice drivers.

8. Alaska

Brrrrr!!! Moose stopped play, didn't think I would ever be writing that.
