My Favorite Collection: Countries and States Ran, v. July 2016

As of July 2016, the totals of places where I went running and ran at least one mile include:

  • Countries: 12 out of 196
  • Canadian provinces and territories: 3 out of 13
  • US states: 30 out of 50

The recent additions to the collection are Delaware and North Carolina (both added in March 2016) and Iceland (added in March 2015). The countries and the states where I went running are:
