2012 was an awesome year! I met some really awesome new friends and I ran the most miles EVAR in this one year than I have from 2006 through 2011 combined! Here is an overview of my year from Daily Mile:
As far as 2013 goals, I would love to hit 700 running miles this year. I would also like to slim down to 120 lbs. Or maybe 125 lbs - with lots of muscle. I also want to get faster on my half marathon time, hopefully break 2:10 this year. I don't have many opportunities to do it, so I need to work all year on this one.
I started a diet mid December (during my break from running) called the 17 Day Diet and successfully lost 7 lbs in the first 17 days. But then I fell off the wagon and deviated from the diet a bit and now I'm back up 2 lbs. I think if I just continue to use the diet plan as a guide and not eat like a ravneous college kid, I will be fine. I have already cut out one of my favorite foods (pasta) and do not crave it. I'm eating more veggies and drinking more water and green tea. I don't think I'm quite at "clean eating" status, nor will I ever be, but I can live with that. I have to take this one step at a time. I really never have tried a diet plan until this one and I've gotten great results, so I might have to stick with it!
I really want to do a write up on the Bridge Run from December 1, as well as the Pooler Jingle Jog from December 22 (my first 5K pushing a stroller), but it will have to wait. December was such a hectic month with the holidays and my son's birthday (and mine too) and various fundraisers, plus traveling everywhere... ugh. I am glad it is over!
Hope everyone has an AWESOME 2013!!!
