year review – Masher Runs

It’s the last day of 2012, so it’s time to look back and reflect all that has happened in the last 12 months. Here’s a look at 2012:

I traveled for work, a lot. I was able to visit Vegas, Toronto x 2, Dallas, Wisconsin, and New Orleans
I got a promotion!
I ran my first out of state half marathon even after getting altitude sickness
I ran a birthday race & received the best gift, a PR!
I ran some other PR’s…Adult 5k, 5 Mile, Half Marathon, & Marathon!
I ran for Diabetes
I moved to the country
I lost a family pet
I ran 5 half marathons, 9 total to date!
I ran a marathon, 26.2!
I vacationed in Colorado, and confirmed my love for the state
I became a Sweat Pink Ambassador
I ran 609 miles
We joined a gym, time to cross train and lift some weights

It was a wonderful year, so many memories, and so many running accomplishments. I had goals and plans set at the beginning of the year. I was able to accomplish some, but not all. That’s what 2013 is for, right?
