Run, run, fast as you can!

It's been a busy week! I finally got caught up on quite a bit of cleaning early in the week, so Charlie and I were able to decorate for Christmas!

I did a 5k race on Saturday, and for the first time ever I placed in my age group!! My sister Ashley got engaged over the weekend and I am sosososo excited for her and Jeremie! :)

14 in '14

At the end of 2013, I set a goal to finish 14 races in 2014. Today, I finished the fourteenth race! I'm having the hardest time picking a favorite race because I'm so proud of myself for every single one! I can honestly say I gave all of these races 100% effort and had so much fun during all of them!!


In 2014, I PRed 5k, ran my first half marathon, and starting training for my first full marathon. I did my first virtual race, joined a running club, and gained a pretty collection of running medals. :)



Now, it's time to start thinking about my 2015 races. I don't want to race quite as much as a did last year, and instead would like to focus on marathon training and building my mileage.

Finish my first full marathon!
Sub 1:00 10k
Beat my first 5k time of 36:07 by 10 minutes
Race with Charlie
Run my first 100+ mile month
Explore different parks and trails
Run a sub 8:00 mile
1,000 miles in 2015! (This is possibly unrealistic)
Consistently run 4x a week
