Future wife painted me a map of the USA to fill in as I run 50 in 50. Hopefully my knees make it that far
Not to derail the thread but this reminded me of a funny story.
I was running the Reno marathon a few years ago and a few miles in I ran past a guy who was wearing a shirt that said "50 under 4" or something like that. He explained to me that he wanted to do the 50 marathons in 50 states but they all had to be under 4 hours. So he was out here knocking Nevada off the list, but he was sort of struggling with breathing today and he wasn't really sure why. So I asked if he had done any altitude training and he was like, "why?" He had absolutely no idea that we were running at 4,500 feet. I looked up his time later on; he's going to have to come back to get that sub 4.
