Quick update

I know it's been a long time since my last post. I guess I never wanted to feel like I had to write and just waited for the ideas to come. So when life got busy or stressful while my running never let off,  my writing did.

So I'll just highlight 2014 and make it a goal to write more in 2015. Deal????

*matched all of my races 1 to 1 with volunteering at other events (highly recommend this to all runners!!)

* ran with my friend Jessica in her first 50k

*ran with Ashley for her first 1/2 marathon in St. Louis

*performed in the musical Les Miserables

*spend lots of miles with my family and friends

*ran alongside my best friend Mallory in her first half marathon

*made some tough, exciting decisions (watch out for those in future 2015 posts)

*registered for my first 100 mile race

*got partnered with my awesome buddy Lucy in the I Run 4 organization. I get to share my miles, medals, and memories with her and her family

* there are many more and I'm sure I've missed big events..... but I know what happens when the blog post gets too long ;)

If I could sum up my year, I would say it was about connecting. Yes, lots of running, but the connections and time spent were more important. I hope to keep that up in the new year.... how about you?

Connect over coffee, a walk/run, book club, movies, anything!

As always, thanks for reading,
Your happy runner
