Race Bucket List Update

A while back, I posted two of my race bucket lists: for the first, I took a true bucket list approach and outlined all the races that sounded crazy amazing to me but (but also probably crazy unlikely). For the second honorable mentions list, I included unique, special, and interesting races that I'd like to someday complete.

I've done 32 races since I made those lists nearly 2 years ago, and although I haven't made it a point to seek out bucket list races, I have managed to do a decent job of knocking out a few of them! Here's what the list looks like these days (completed, in progress):

Race Bucket List:

NYC Marathon

Big Sur Marathon

Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas

Marine Corps Marathon

Maratona di Roma

Athens Classic Marathon

Seawheeze Half Marathon

Boston Marathon

Ironman
OH MY GOD I really did this.

Honorable Mentions:

A Christmas Story 5k/10k

Virginia Tech 3.2 for 32 Run in Remembrance
Ben and I ran this last year, our first year back in Blacksburg since 2009, and it was the special experience I always thought it would be. Blue skies, Hokie stone, and a sea of maroon and orange.

Tarpon Springs Triathlon

Cooper River Bridge Run
I would probably have completed this one a couple times over by now if the date didn't always end up conflicting with another race! This year it was the same weekend as Cherry Blossom and was my second choice if we didn't end up getting into Cherry Blossom.

NYRR Midnight Run
I am so thankful Alyssa was game to help me cross this one off the list when I visited her over New Years!

Ragnar Relay
