FBF: Destination Races

Here’s a little FlashBack Friday to all my destination races over my running career thus far.

I’m very excited to add an international race to my repertoire. Destination races are a great excuse to travel, so many of my “milestone” runs have been destination races. It adds an extra level of excitement and I always take my training more seriously as opposed to the races in my own backyard. Plus with destination races in cool cities it’s easier to get friends to join as runners or cheerleaders!
