My 50 Races

I don't know about you, but for me, milestone birthdays inspire me to challenge myself to something quite big for some reason, maybe it's so I will have some big memories later in life. 

For my 40th I ran the New York City Marathon and raised money for the heart foundation. When I turned 50 I decided to challenge myself to completing 50 races of all different shapes and sizes across the year, one for each year of my life and here is the list of races that I completed:
