- I started off the year by running the Dopey Challenge at Disney. This was the inaugural year of the Dopey Challenge in which we ran a 5k on Thursday, 10k on Friday, Half Marathon on Saturday, and Marathon on Sunday. It was a great experience and a lot of fun to do with my dad. I even did the Mickey Mile with the kids, so I got an extra mile in those 4 days! :-)
- In February I ran the Thrill in the Hills Marathon at Ft. Yargo for the second time. This was not a good day for me. I ended up getting sick and not having a great day, but I still pushed through and finished.
- In March I ran three 5k races in less than 24hrs, and was able to improve my time with each race. I even got a third, second, and first in age group awards!
- In April I ran the Chick-fil-a Half Marathon in Athens and was able to set a new PR for the half marathon with a time of 1:41:20.
- In May I ran my second 50k, the Oconee 50k, in Mountain Rest, SC. I set a new PR in the 50k with a time of 5:47:09. (Race Report)
- In August I ran the Dirty Spokes Red Top Roaster 9.9.
- In September I ran the Dirty Spokes Hard Labor Creek 7.5 in the morning and then ran the Titan Twilight 5k in the evening.
- In November I ran the Tortoise and the Hare 50k. In this race I finished 12th overall and 1st in my age group. (Race Report)
- I also have been working my way through at 50 mile race training plan since September.
- In 2014 I set a goal to run 1,000 miles and ended up running 1,208 miles for the year.
Overall it was a great 2014! I ran a lot, set some new PR's, exceeded some goals, stayed injury free, and made some new friends. Looking forward to what 2015 is going to bring!
How did your year go?
