Hello!  My name is Katie and I run.

In 2011, my world was rocked when my Lebanese, hard working, ever present dad had an accident and died after weeks in the hospital.

I then realized how precious everyday is.  I want to make everyday the best day, yet.  I want to live my best life.  I want to travel the world.  I want to conquer quests. And, I have an ever growing bucket list that I am constantly working my way through.

My love for travel was cultivated when I was a child, on many family road trips in our packed 1991 Ford Conversion van rolling across the country.  We visited all 50 States before I started college.

I’ve created this blog so that my friends and family can follow me on my quest to complete a full marathon in each United State.  In addition to marathons I enjoy all race distances, hiking, biking, budget travel, trying my hand at new foods, discovering new cultures, and spending time with my husband Jeff and our two pet cats Lucy and Lily. Please join me as I run the world….
