Marathoning... while momming!

Welcome to Stephanie's 100 Marathon Challenge (brought to you by the producers of "Steph's 50 Marathon Challenge")! It's been 10 years since I last blogged... 10 years! What has happened in 10 years? Quite literally EVERYTHING from marriage and kids to job changes, moves, masters degrees, crazy times (oh hey Covid) and great times. I'll catch ya'll up on everything, but for now, I'll leave you with this:

If you followed my old blog that covered my crazy journey of marathons across 50 states, you'll know what to expect-- mostly sitcom-esque moments strung together that make up my life. Only now we're adding the humor of attempting to raise 3 boys under 8 and the battling the Mom bod that comes after baby. 

What is this Blog About?

• Marathons... Marathons... and many, many more marathons! For those geographically challenged... no, there are NOT 100 states! Crazy, right? I'm presently at 91 marathons (May 2023) so that leaves 9. The great part? I can choose whatever races in whatever states/countries/continents/planets (planets?) that I want! I have a little bit of constraints...
• 50 Sub 4! Running all 50 states in under 4 hours has been a goal I've checked off as I could. During my first go-round I wasn't able to get them all due to things like pacing, double marathon weekends, high elevation, and just plain rough days! This past weekend I picked up 1 more (KY) and only have 14 left. It won't be my primary focus but if good race options come up in those states I'll be sure to hit them up. Any suggestions?
• NEW Challenges! I'm keeping my next BIG challenge a secret until everything is confirmed... but stay tuned!
• MB! Oh you know the crazy lady will be around. She finished her 50th state at the LA Marathon in March, 2012 making us the first (and so far only) mother-Daughter 50-state marathon finishers. It was her idea to get 100 in. We haven't set a time frame or a race but it doesn't seem like its going to take too long!
