December and Year in Review

Age 30 has been fantastic. I PRed in the Tupper Lake Tinman in June, successfully trained for and finished the Lake Placid Ironman in July, and ran the Philadelphia 1/2 marathon in November. Ironman was a life changing experience and so much fun! This year was a blast! I couldn't believe how much my body was capable of! I can't believe how much I did in time and miles. I can't believe how much I love doing this!

In the next year, I am hoping to hit the 3000 mile mark. I want to stay healthy the enitre time that I am training for Ironman and the marathon this year as well. I am also excited about my schedule for the next year - Lake Placid 1/2 marathon, Tour de Cure 100 miler, Tupper Lake Tinman, Lake Placid Ironman, HMRRC 1/2 marathon, and the culminating race of the New York City Marathon! This may be an even bigger year than last year. So, I am excited about what the future holds for me! Ironman training has begun and I have missed it so much. It will be a great year!

Here are my December stats - due to my leg issues during and after the 1/2 marathon in November, my run miles are very low but I feel good right now and feel healthy so I will take this months totals and move on. They are still greater than last years stats!!!
