It has been two months and 22 days since my last post. If you follow me on twitter or know me personally, you know I didn't Boston Qualify in Hartford (or NYC -- a far far fetched dream). As I sit on my couch on the penultimate day in 2015, I find it fitting to reflect on the year (both running and personal) and not make resolutions, but to add to the goal list. Here's how my 2015 went in a nutshell (a very condensed nutshell):
Regrets/Dreams that weren't accomplished:
There could be a lot more for each list, both those really are the highlights (and some lowlights of 2015). As you can imagine, not BQing really stung. However, as I am in week 7 of training for the Shamrock Marathon, I am feeling mentally and physically stronger than when I went into Hartford. Two mottos are going to define my 2016 and I'll share them with you: "Go the extra mile, it is never crowded." - some plaque I got for Christmas (thanks, Mom) "Define yourself." - Deena Kastor From my running shoes to yours, I wish you all the best in 2016 and may your life be filled with love.
