But this awesome little tool from Running in the USA will certainly help me color in a bit more of the map!
The fine folks at the Defocus Blog created a very cool "visited states" map, though I have used it for my own devices. I've raced in the blue states ... 37 so far... plus, as of 3/17/19, Washington DC! Yes, yes, I know it's not a state...
I know I won't complete the 50 -- or even the 49 -- before I turn 50. But it feels good to be making steps in the right direction. I do still plan on holding Hawaii to the last race, however!
