Welcome to 40 bibs!

The anticipation of the best experience ever. That’s what it feels like to stand at the start line of a race. Sometimes the anticipation is tranquil; like the the sun rising over the horizon. Other times it’s electric and, for a moment, you think you can actually see lighting pinging among the sea of competitors.
This year I will run 40 races to celebrate my 40th birthday, and I will support 40 other racers in stepping up to a start line of their own. My journey, and theirs, will be chronicled through this blog. I hope you’ll join me!
See you at the finish line.
Awesome way to celebrate for me it was 56 and I did it by doing the dopey challenge in Disney Florida. This year it’s run the year with an ultra in there somewhere. Have fun with it and have a great year.

That is awesome! It’s always fun and inspiring to have a goal to run for. I ran my first 5K ( again after not running for 18 years ) for my daughter’s high school graduation , my first 1/2 for my 40th, and my first marathon for her college graduation. This year I’ll be 44 ( I’m thinking 4 marathons in 4 different states … I have DC , MI & Chicago already registered just need to get a 4th 🤗 ) . Running has made me feel young again, I feel younger now then I did before I started running 7 years ago. It’s a wonderful thing you are doing, if you can help just one person get the motivation to get up and run it can change their life!

Thank you so much for the kind words Krista. Best wishes on your 4-by-4 in 2017 – I PR’d at Chicago this year, so that one definitely has a special place in my heart!

This is such a great and encouraging challenge!! Good luck to you. I wish I could run 40 races in one year… some day maybe! I read about this blog from run the edge and they mentioned a chance to win one of your bibs, but I could not find any info on your blog. Do you have any amplifying information on that? Wishing you the best!!

Hello Jessica! Thank you for the kind words. At this stage, folks are simply asking and I am obliging. 🙂 If you have a race picked out, you can send me the info through the “contact” section of the blog. I need the race name (or link), your DOB, address, phone and t-shirt size. Thank you for reaching out, and have a happy and safe new year!
