My official running stats for 2014: 173 workouts, 120.7 hours, 544.68 miles. Sounds like a lot, till I realized there were a couple of weeks where due to injury or illness, I just couldn’t get in a decent workout. The great news is after 2013 when I ran my first half marathon, I met my personal goal to complete 5 half marathons. I had the opportunity to complete 3 of those half marathons at Disney, 2 at Disney World (Princess, Wine & Dine) and 1 at Disneyland (Dumbo Double Dare). My best marathon time was at the St. Luke’s Half in April, finishing with a 2:44 overall time. Toss in a couple 5K’s, and 2 10K’s, plus the Runner’s World Hat Trick (5K, 10K, Half), and it was a fun year for running.
The next, and biggest challenge, is the Goofy Race and a Half coming up in 5 more days. A half marathon and my first full marathon back to back. What a way to kick off 2015! My goal this year is to keep this running thing going, and hopefully complete 6 half marathons, with the crown of course being the full marathon this coming weekend. It would be nice to beat those 544’ish miles for the year, and that starts with knocking out 39.3!
