2016 Running YEar in Review

12/29/2016

0 Comments

 
As 2016 comes to a close, I am pausing to reflect on my running year – the good, bad and the ugly.

Some of my favorite things that happened in my running and racing life this year are:
  • Coming back strong from injury (fractured fibula)
  • Running Ragnar del Sol with strangers and making new friends
  • Experiencing the beauty of Sedona in the winter
  • Raising over $500 for St. Jude's Childrens Hospital (training for Rock N Roll Dallas)
  • Picking up 2 new states  - TX and WA
  • Running 3 half marathons in 9 weeks (without injury!)
  • Conquering the Whiskey Row Half Marathon, something I never thought I would do
  • Participating in the United Relay
  • Solo trip to WA to run the North Olympic Discovery Half Marathon in spectacular scenery
  • Ran a strong Charlevoix Half Marathon in MI with my family at the finish
  • Captaining my own Ragnar Michigan team and making new friends (and meeting Twitter friends in real life!)
The year also brought many challenges:

  • Torn meniscus which resulted in
    • Surgery and months of not running
    • Learning I have osteoarthritis and need to dial back on my running
    • Weight gain that led to slower finish times
    • Having to pull out of the Revel Canyon City Marathon
  • Sadly, No new PRs this year

Things I’m looking forward to in 2017
:
  • Ragnar TX with friends
  • Ragnar Michigan again
  • Getting back to half marathons (hopefully!)
  • Becoming stronger and smarter with running


Here’s a video of my race highlights this year. Happy New Year, Everyone!
