Miles and Medals

December 30, 2013

One of my New Year’s Goals (not Resolutions) was to run 13 half marathons in 2013.  It seemed to be a pretty popular theme in the running community and to be honest, that’s where I got the idea.

Well, I completed that task in September and just kept on running.  I ended the year doing 17 of them…with a few 5Ks and 10Ks thrown in.  I thought about posting a picture of all my medals from the year but it would require dismantling how they are now so here is a recap of my “walls’ instead.

This picture represents 583.1 miles!

1997, 1998 & 1999 = 39.3 miles (3 half marathons / 1 each year)

2008 = 13.1 miles (1 half marathon)

2009 = 39.3 miles (1 half marathon & 1 full marathon)

2010 = 79.8 miles (4 half marathons & 1 full marathon)

2011 = 55.5 miles (4 half marathons & 1 5K)

2012 = 121 miles (9 half marathons & 1 Warrior Dash 5K)

2013 = 235.1 miles (17 half marathons, 1 Virtual 5K, and The Doubler 5K/10K)

2014...I can't wait to see what possibilities are ahead of me!!!
