2011, you done me good.

Remember when every blogger did a "year in recap" post?  
Well...sorry folks, no originality here!  I'm abouts to do it too!  But...it was a pretty great year, fitness-wise.  And a fairly ordinary year otherwise.  
In the Fall of 2010, I was pretty much in the running dark ages.  I was running 4 miles a day in some Sketchers Shape Ups that I got for free.  Um yeah....


And then...2011 happened.  2011: The year, I started giving a crap!  
Here's the year in digital:

January (no excuses)


February (when I became a stalker)


March (blogtastic.  the birth of the faster bunny).


April (BOSTON BOSTON BOSTON!!!)
Yeah...I get that you've seen this picture a billion times.  It's the only good one I have! :)


May (when I started realizing 800m workouts don't work for long races)

June (I made freaking hood to coast)




July (The time I was in a diet coke twitter promotion...still baffled how this happened)


August (the time I ran HTC for Nuun and peaked in life forever)


September (then I hit a new low DNF'ing in a 5k)


October (...and then crashed my bike and became "unrunable")


November (But it's cool because I took the best picture ever at RNR LA)
and did a duathlon....
December (ran a pretty sweet half marathon)

(and retained my fabulous form....)

So what's next?  
I'm running the Eugene Marathon and probably NYC if I can stomach their ridiculous prices.  
I'm doing a Ragnar Relay.
I'd love to do an Olympic Tri. 
I wanna run a fast 5k. 


No guarantees though, life is unpredictable ;-).  Here's to an awesome and completely unexpected 2012!

  7. A very good year! Yay for the Eugene Marathon (and NYC--did you qualify with that huge half time?).

    I know you don't read so many blogs any more, but please read mine after Houston because I'm going to need your common sense whether I fall (splat) or succeed.
