Review and totals for 2014
Miles Run--668.88
Bike--2155 minutes of biking or spinning That is approximately 576 miles of biking.
Swim--44,000 yards which equates to about 27 miles of swimming.
That is a total of 1271 miles, which is like driving from Boothbay Harbor, ME to Nashville, TN. I guess I covered a bit of ground this year. I also exceeded my running goal of 600 miles, so I'm pretty proud of that!
Favorites for 2014
Bradbury Mountain Trail Series
My first time racing on trails and I really, really enjoyed it. It was hard, both mentally and physically but I did them all. The 6, 9 and 12 mile race I finished and now can call myself a Bad Ass. And I have the hoodie to prove it. Thank you Danielle, for helping me make poor life decisions... ;) And of course, now I have to do it again next year so you can earn your hoodie!
smiling fool, that's me!
see? Bad Ass^^^
The Harborfest Half was so much fun in that Gary Allen came to run with us and I had a miserable sufferfest of a half marathon in which I ran (walked) #allthehills and sucked #allthewind. It was long and awful and hard but I'll likely do it again next year.
will someone get him a cheeseburger? Jeez.
I had a random 10 mile race in Massachusetts that I won an entry into. No friends here, but a nice race with nice people and a cool photo. Thanks, random photographer.
Surprisingly, the Santa Shuffle Half Marathon was a fabulous race! It was well organized, parking was easy and plentiful and I had a great PR, finally, finally breaking the 2 hour mark at 1:55!! AND we dressed up! #allthefun I cannot wait to do this race again next year. So gimmicky, but extremely fun.
What's in store for 2015?
~I had a fantastic race at the Mid-Winter Classic 10 miler on Feb 1, which you can read all about here.
~I have done the unthinkable and ran over 100 miles in January, which brings me to the completely unimaginable--I signed up for the Maine Coast Marathon in May! Never in a million years did I ever think I would sign up to do a marathon. Never in ten million years did I ever think I would even be able to run a marathon. I have to thank my running friends, Stacey and Lauren and Danielle, for helping me to make more poor life choices. All of us fools (and so many more!) will be at this marathon, on Mother's Day, trying to finish and maybe, just maybe qualifying for Boston.....
Never in my wildest dreams (nightmares??) would I have entertained the thought of qualifying for Boston, but lately my running times and my old age have led me to believe that it just might be possible.
Maybe old dogs can learn new tricks or at least run many miles in 3:55......
~Also on the agenda is a redo of the Bradbury Mountain Trail Series. It was fun and different and I plan on doing it again.
~Beach to Beacon 10K
~Harborfest Half Marathon--cause I enjoy suffering and this one goes right by my house.
That's it so far. I need to find a half marathon sometime in April, if you have any suggestions in the New England area. I'd also like to do a relay like Ragnar,
What do you have planned for 2015?
