Adventure Briggs

I knew 2024 was going to be inconsistent and a little bananas, so I didn’t set any mileage goals and didn’t have any really big races.

Early in the year, I made plans to crew a 100 mile run for the first time, and said “yes” to hiking the Lower Michigan Triple Crown with some family and friends.

Other than that, I just enjoyed variety.

I took my 5-year-old kayaking for the first time.

I biked the most miles I’ve ever done in a year, in a month, and in a day.

I hiked places I’ve never been to before.

Since I travel for work sometimes and spend a little too much time being lazy, I made it a goal to run at least once on all of my work trips.

The result is that I ran in 7 different states. I’m not sure if that’s a record because I’ve never counted before, but my goal this year is to run in 10 different states. So far I only have California and Michigan. Soon I will have Oregon and Washington.

Obviously states like Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio would be pretty easy to hit. I’m very open to suggestions on any must-see trails or races!

I also have a lot of airline miles, so I also might randomly fly to some wacky state and just run and then come home.

Party on, adventurers!
