Tis the season to look back on all of the many miles run and races completed throughout 2016. This is where having a blog is so helpful because who can remember all the crazy amount of races you signed for? Here is a quick “run down” of my year of running 2016.
Year of Running 2016
3 5K’s
2 Destination races
Skirts Sports ambassador retreat and 5K
Hershey Half Weekend
1 5 Miler
5 10K’s
1 Relay Race
1 Indoor Triathlon
2 Sprint Triathlons
Countless Runs with my MRTT group
Not to sound sappy but these are the best of them all! For me it is not so much the races that stand out but the everyday runs with my BRF’s that are the most memorable. I am so lucky to have found my tribe of amazing friends.
What a year it’s been! I had forgotten about some of these runs and it’s been great fun to look back. I can’t wait to see what next year brings for me.
How was your year in running? Favorite moments?
Linking up with
You had one amazing year! I’m impressed with how much you did. Can’t wait to see what 2017 brings!
Thanks me too!
Looks like you had a great year with lots of fun races!
I did!
I have one more run this weekend before my year is over. You have had a great year- congrats! Lots of variety too!
Thanks it’s always fun to look back and good luck w yours this weekend
Such a solid year for you! You were really well rounded, and most importantly, injury free and having fun!
For me keeping it to the shorter races was key for injury prevention.
Cheers to a wonderful year! Wow you did a lot of 10ks. That’s a hard distance to come by around here. Can’t wait to see what 2017 brings.
10K is my new favorite distance we have a lot in the spring and fall around here.
The one thing that stands out to me about all your runs is that you are surrounded by friends! One thing I’ve learned this year is how much running friends mean to me! I plan to make more of that next year.
Yes that is the best part of running for me. Having my tribe is so important
Ooh, I want to do this!
You’ve done a lot of racing! I’ve enjoyed reading about them over the year. Here’s to a great 2017!
It’s really fun to look back on all of the memories
What an amazing year of running! You had a great one. Mine wasn’t as exciting this year, but I loved nearly every minute of it!
That’s what counts!
You had such an incredible running year! A lot to be proud of there.
Thanks! It is fun to look back
So many great memories and such a great year in review! Can’t wait to see what next year brings!
Thanks me too!
I always love looking back at the end of the year and seeing all that I accomplished. One common theme for you in 2016 was definitely running with friends!
Absolutely could not have done it without them
It’s been a tough one for me with the new diagnosis of arthritis in my knee. I’ve had to back down to the 5K in 2 half marathons that I was registered for. I am revamping my entire running schedule. I’m hoping I can do the Indy Mini in May. It will be my 20th time for that event. Needless to say this has not been my best running year, but I’m trying to learn from it and make the best of it!
Sorry to hear that your knee is bothering you. I’ve had my share of running injuries as well and I have learned that sticking to shorter distances works better for me. I have to do a race in Indy one of these days~
Thanks Deborah! 5Ks may become my race of choice in 2017 🙂
Those count too!!
What a great post. You have had an amazing year of fitness and friendship. How fun.
It’s the friends that make it all worth to me. They are the icing on my cake
My favourite running moment of the year was a post-race run I took the day after my first ever half marathon in Reykjavik. It was just absolutely gorgeous, plus it was great to run just for the thrill of it. <3
That does sound exciting!
Woohoo! What an awesome year of running! Looking back I realize this was definitely my strongest year of racing! Here’s to a kickass 2017 👊
Right back at you!
Holy cow you’ve done a LOT! You should be so proud!
Thanks it has been a busy year!
Love it! Very inpressing and motivating! Somany adventures, so many more miles and smiles! I was just thinking of compiling my year review and this has truly motivated me to just sit down and dow it!
here’s more adventures, miles and smiles in 2017!
It is fun to look back for sure!
Looks like you had an amazing 2016! Thanks for stopping by to read my 2016 recap, and I hope those Hoka’s work out for you! I hope you have an amazing 2017!
Thanks so much and happy running
What a fabulous year of rewarding accomplishments! Congrats!
Thanks so much Mary it was a fun one indeed
You have had a great year! I’ve got one more race to go before I can recap my year in racing and I’m not even going to start a post for fear of jinxing myself!
You have a lot of 10k’s around you. I wish we had more, for some reason we don’t.
You do not want to jinx yourself!! Good luck
I loved that! You look so hardcore in your tri picture! Here’s to another great year ahead!
Ha ha thanks! Yes here’s to another great year indeed
Awesome year of running Deborah. My year of running is ending with the fewest miles ever but I ran happy 🙂
That’s okay! Running happy and healthy is what it’s all about
I agree.
I’ve been running for 6 months now (6 to go) but I’m still happy. haha 😀 I feel great and that’s the best feeling ever 🙂
Wow! You have been busy!! It’s so awesome that a hobby can not only help you feel better, energized and be healthier – but it can open up the door for so many experiences and friendships!
The friendships are the best part by far!
What a great way to look back on a great year! Love the big collage.
Ah thanks! It’s a fun way to look back on everything for sure
It sounds like you had a great year!! Cheers to you!!!!
Yes indeed thanks
What an awesome year of miles and smiles :).
That’s a great way to put it thanks
Congrats on an awesome year, looks amazing!!! You made alot of amazing running memories this year.
So many memories that’s the best part
Congratulations, What an amazing year! Cant wait to see what you have in store for 2017! You continue to rock on!!
Ah thanks! I hope to be able to do all the things with my posse 🙂
What great accomplishments! You’re awesome!! 🙂
Ah thanks!
looks like a fantastic year of running! love all the photos!!!
Thanks it was a fun way to look back
Absolutely fabulous! I wish we had the option for an indoor triathlon. I would love to try something like that!
This is the year I hit my 10th half marathon, and I also did my first trail relay. It was crazy and I can’t believe I completed it!
Isn’t it amazing the things you can do that you never thought you could!? Congrats on your accomplishments
Sounds like a really great year! I didn’t run much at all last year and I feel like I should have gotten out there more. Next year for sure – thanks for the inspiration!
It was a great year of lots of memories
No running for me. Unless you count chasing my toddler girls! Looks like it was a fun successful year of running for you!
Well that counts for sure!
What a great year! It’s been a blast watching all of your achievements! (now if we could just figure out a race to do together…someday….) 😉
That would be fabulous! We need to figure that out
Looks like you had a pretty awesome year in running! 5 10ks. Wow. They’re so rare around here! And I’ve never seen a 15 miler, either — you are lucky to have such a variety!
We do have lots of races around here for sure. The 10k”s are popular in the fall so I was able to take advantage.
Looks like you had an amazing year!
I really did and it’s fun to look back on
What a great year of running! So jealous of all your 10ks, wish there was more here when I live, it’s my fav distance.
I do love the 10K’s and we have a lot in the fall so I had the chance to take advantage of them
I can’t believe it’s the end of the year. Looks like you had a great, busy one!
This post provides some food for thought….I’m usually so focused on the next race that I don’t take the time to look back and see what I’ve accomplished.
Happy holidays!
Thanks! I do like to look back at the end of the year and remember all that I did accomplish.
It looks like you had a busy and fun year! I live in the Hershey area but never ran any of the races. A lot of my friends do though!
OH the Hershey half was lots of fun and very hilly too. Hope you get the chance to run one of their races sometime
You’ve had a great running year! Here’s hoping that 2017 is just as fun 🙂
Thanks you too! Happy Holidays
Wow!! You did a LOT this year! Congrats!!
Seeing your pictures of Hershey reminded me that I want to look into that race… time to start thinking about the 2017 calendar!
The Hershey race was so much fun and very well organized.
It looks like you had a great year of running! Congrats on all of your races and I just admire that you do triathlons! Here’s to hoping that we finally meet in person sometime in 2017 🙂
I would really love that! I do need to get to Philly one of these days for a race. I am really into the 10K distance now so let me know if there is a good one
looks like you had a pretty great year!
It was fun to look back at all the memories for sure. Happy holidays and thanks for stopping in
You have had an awesome year of running and racing! I’m looking forward to seeing what you get up to in 2017!
It is always fun to look back at all that you have done isn’t it?!
Looks like it’s been a fun year of running 🙂
It really has been a fun one with lots of memories.
I love to look back on all of the year’s highlight pictures! You have had one fun-packed year and what a blessing to have so many BRF’s 🙂 Here’s to an even more awesome 2017!
A true blessing indeed!
Wow, that is a heck of a lot of racing. Congrats ! Isn’t it fun to look back ?
It really is! It’s been a fun year
I agree that it’s the runs with friends that are truly the best. 🙂
They definitely are!
And we let another year slip by without meeting up for a run… Will 2017 be the year? 🙂
I certainly hope so!
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed December and all the looking back I did. I’d already forgotten about so much! You had a very full year of racing. Love it!! 🙂
I had forgotten about lots of it too! Bonus to having a blog right? Happy new year
I love what you’ve been working on this year, such an awesome year of running for you! Hard for sure but I can’t wait to see where 2017 takes you.
Thanks it was a great year! Happy new year
