It’s the last day of 2014 and I’m a little sad to see this year go. It was a fantastic year that went by too quickly, and so many great things happened. Let’s take a look back to see what happened this year.

• I ran 22 races: eight 5ks, one 5miler, two 10ks, two 15ks, two 10 milers, six half marathons, and one marathon
• I traveled: Chicago, Vegas, Dallas, Detroit, Toronto, St. Louis, San Francisco, Napa, Corning
• I PR’d in the 5k, 15k, 10 miler, half marathon and marathon
• I started trail racing more consistently
• I hit my highest mileage month of 112 miles
• I became a member of the Oiselle Flock
• We got engaged!
• I ran my second marathon and PR’d by 21 minutes!
• We welcomed our nephew Vincent into the family

And here’s a look back at the goals I set for  2014.

Running:

• Break 2:00 in the half marathon-Cleveland Half, 1:58!
• Break 24:30 in the 5k- Nope, but I did get a post college 5k PR!
• Raise $1,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation-Far from this goal, but I did raise $300
• Volunteer for a race– Helped with Medina Half Marathon prep
• PR in all distances– Just about, PR in post college 5k, 15k, 10 miler, half marathon, and marathon!
• Run at least 6 half marathons– 6 on the dot!
• Run 600 miles– 872 miles!

Personal:

• Try at least 15 new recipes- not even close
• Plan a vacation for somewhere new-San Francisco and Napa!
• Achieve and maintain a healthy weight-done!
• Read at least 10 books – Just 3
• Donate 1/4 of my clothes– Box is ready to be donated
• Try something completely out of my element– I finally started lifting
• Bike at least 20 miles a month- major fail
• Get back into yoga– most of the year, ready to begin again on January 5th!

Blogging:
