Goodbye 2015

Before I jump into 2016 goals and whatnot, I wanted to take another moment to reflect on 2015.

This year, I:

Complete my 2nd half-marathon with a 38 minute, 37 second PR (10:06 avg pace / 2:53:22 to 2:14:45)!

Ran 750 miles for the year

Ran 1 mile track for the very 1st time (this decade) in 8 minutes, 16 seconds

PRed 11 times!

5k PR from 33:34 to 27:36

10K from 1:14:24 to 58:42

Knocked off about 7 minutes off 4 miler

Set a 10 miler PR from 2:18 to 1:40:53!

Lost -15 lbs

2016 Running Goals:

Run 1000 miles

Run a sub-8 1 mile

Run a sub-26:30 minute 5k

PR at PTRR

Run a sub-2:14 half marathon (stretch goal: run a 2 hour half marathon)

Lose 10 lbs

Up hair game! :) 

Not run a full marathon this year.  

Resolution Run

Day 1 in the books.  4 mile deficit on the 1000 mile goal.  996 to go. :)  & first PR of the year!  The course was VERY hilly (rolling hills through out).  I did great with pacing.  The last mile was possibly a missed opportunity; there was never a moment where I felt like I was running in a full-out 'red' zone, mainly due to the fact that the finish was also up hill.  Ain't nobody got time for dat uphill kick. Haha. But I finished mentally proud, mainly for the steadiness of my run, pacing 9:30 average fairly consistently throughout. And of course, because we beat Kyle.  haha.

Next up ... TRI not to DIE on Sunday, tapering, and Red Nose half next Saturday!
