This wasn't planned. I didn't decide one day that I would write one post this calendar year after writing my fewest posts in a year since I started this blog. I just didn't make it a priority. It's been four months since I wrote a post and it'd been almost three months since I'd written a post before that one.
I didn't do a year-end wrap-up of my goals or make new goals for this year. But I want to get back at it, so in the next week I'll share some favorite highlights of the year.
My big running highlights were running a fifty mile week for the first time in a long time, running a half marathon in Alabama with Laura (more on that race soon), and breaking twenty minutes in the 5K for the first time since 2021. It's sometimes depressing running times so much slower than my previous PRs, but I try to keep in mind that I'm older and with two kids I don't have as much time to train.
The biggest highlight is that my oldest kiddo, who's seven, ran his first 5K. It started out with him running with his mom at parkrun. He planned on running just part of the race, but he decided to keep going and ended up finishing. He didn't even want to walk any of it! He's done 4 more since, and he's really been enjoying it.
Laura and I are registered for the Twilight Red Rock Canyon Half Marathon in October in Nevada just outside Vegas. We're really looking forward to this unique race. Check out the link to read about it.
