Looking back at 2014, looking forward to 2015....

2014 Review:

·         Completed the Inaugural Dopey Challenge at Disney World

·         Ran my 3^rd Disney marathon

·         Finally completed Disney’s Coast-to-Coast Challenge after being wait-listed in 2011.  Added California to the list of states I ran a race in and went home with 11 Disney medals for the year!

All these medals = one expensive year!

·         Incorporated more 5K races into my race schedule.

·         Discovered virtual races which typically benefit a good cause, are extremely convenient, and save $$$

·         Ran 14 half marathons, with my fastest being the Route 66 Half Marathon in Litchfield, IL

Medal haul for 2014

·         Was a race ambassador for Diva Dash 5K, Glow in the Park 5K, Hot Chocolate 5K and 15K, and the MO’ Cowbell race series

·         Ran my 2^nd relay and met some great people along the way

I only knew 2/5 other runners before race day!

Goals for 2015:

·         Run more consistently and track my mileage.

·         Get closer to my 2010 half marathon PR of 2:20.  Joined Fleet Feet’s spring half marathon training group to help with this goal.

·         Continue being an ambassador for the MO’ Cowbell race series as well as the St. Louis Hot Chocolate 5K and 15K.

·         Race in at least one new state.  So far I have signed up for the Nashville Rock ‘n’ Roll half marathon in April.

I am looking forward to 2015 and all the mileage it will include!  Have a great, safe, and Happy New Year!!!
