2016, a great year of running

Well, I am a couple weeks late in posting my 2016 review, but I have a good excuse.
My domain expired the end of December, and I didn't renew it in time.
Long story, including where I totally freaked out, thinking everything I've written the past 5 years was gone.
 I posted about it on facebook, and found out that one of my friend's husband works with computers, and he offered to help me get it back. (It wasn't as simple as just renewing it) It worked, and everything is back in it's right place. Lesson learned, don't let your domain name expire!!

2016 included 9 half marathons, 1 marathon and 835 miles run.

This medal hanger was a Christmas gift from my boss, that he made! (He was my secret santa)

I was able to run five 100 miles months. At the beginning of the year, I didn't even think that was possible. I never realized before how true that saying is; everything is impossible until you try it.

I had an injury free year!! I am so thankful for that. I plan on 2017 being the same way.

My only marathon was in May. It was so bad that I decided I'm done with marathons. Although at the time I wanted to do another one!
Of course now I'm thinking maybe I should get redemption for that. So, we'll see what this year brings...

2016 was quite a year personally too. From finding out about my niece's brain tumor, and then spending 6 weeks in Chicago with her as she underwent radiation and chemo, and then the awesome news that she is cancer free!! Then spending 2 1/2 weeks in Honduras, coming home and starting a new job that I love. It was a crazy year!

Unfortunately it did get worse, which I'll talk about later. We did not have a good Christmas, but NYE was fun. Some friends of ours from Indy came down for the weekend, so it was fun hanging out with them.

Here's to 2017! I don't have any specific goals. Well, I would like to reach 1000 miles this year, so there's that.
 I have lots of out of town races planned, and I know I've already mentioned my R2R2R (rim to rim to rim) hike of the Grand Canyon in June.
Lots of good things coming up!
