So many things to be thankful for during my 2013, not only in running but in life as well. I wanted to take a few moments to share my thoughts on all that happened for me in my running adventure. I was a little surprised to see just how many events I had taken part of. Not sure if that is good or bad, but I am grateful for all of the amazing friends I have made along the way.
Some of the numbers:
54 = total number of events completed
14 = total number for half marathon completed
14= total number of 10k's
18 = total number of 5k's
378.8 = total number of race miles
First time experiences:
Sub-3 hour half marathon finish
Quarter marathon in Wisconsin
Full marathon at Pathfinder Ranch near Palm Springs (also earned my 1st ever age group award)
Consecutive back to back half maraton (day 1 was actually in 2012 as I completed the New Years Double in Allen, TX)
Back to back half marathons in the same day (6am and 1pm start times for a total day of marathon miles)
States added to my quest for a half in all 50 states: Texas, Mississippi, Indiana, Michigan, Illionis
Multiple PR's (personal bests):
Jan 19th: half marathon 3:01:05
Feb. 3rd: 10k 1:20:31
May 4th: 5k 38:44.64
June 16th: 5k 37:36.52
Sept. 28th: 5k 36:56.23
Nov. 3rd: half marathon 2:59:48 (first ever sub 3 hour finish)
Dec. 14th: 5k 36:34.20
Looking forward to 2014 and seeing what new adventures and new friends I can discover. As well as meeting up with already friends along the way. And most importantly, my 1st ever ultra event, a 50k in March!
