2011 was a good year for me, it is the first year in a long time that I didn’t have a significant change. But I did reach some significant goals of running a marathon and completing a half ironman. It was fun to share these accomplishments with my hubby.
January started off just the way I like it with a half marathon on new years day
And Cory ran Frosey’s Frozen 5 Mile race while I cheered him on because I had food poisoning
In February It snowed a lot and we ran a lot while training for our first marathon
March took me to Portland to visit my parents
and Cory and I ran the Boulder Sprig Half Marathon
In April Cory and I ran a lot!
May 1st we ran the Colorado Marathon
And we went back to Oregon for a weeding and some quality family time
June was a big month for us we completed our first olympic distance triathlon and traveled (back) to Oregon for our first half ironman. It was so much fun I hope to race Pacific Crest again someday, unfortunately it is the same weekend as IMCDA . We also celebrated 5 years of marriage.
July was a lot of travel for me, I went to San Diego for work
Then Cory and I headed to Oregon (see a pattern here?) for another wedding
July also came with a knee injury that kept me from running for many months. This was a dark part of the year but I healed and will work very hard to make 2012 injury free
In August we celebrated Cory’s birthday and my parents moving to Colorado
September was busy with two triathlons, a half ironman and the only sprint triathlon of the season
I went to Atlanta for the AZA conference
We celebrated my brother’s and my birthday
October is always one of my favorite months. Cory and and ran 2 5ks and enjoyed lots of fun fall activities.
November We flew to Oregon and drove back to Colorado
And ran a turkey trot with my mom and husband
And we started training for Ironman Coeur d’Alene
December was full of swim/bike/run, family and fun
I hope your 2011 was wonderful and here’s to an even better 2012!!
