This season was about my sister's quest to complete her first half marathon. Sure, I convinced her to register, but it was really all about her. We had a training plan and fit many races into the mix to stay focused. Even when we traveled we kept each other accountable. I think our longest training run was when we were in Atlanta together.
For me, it was a nice relaxed running season. My main focus was on CrossFit this year which I started at the beginning of the year. My focus was on creating a 3 days a week workout routine and getting in my long runs on Sundays. Mission accomplished!
It was a great year of focusing on my overall health and not a particular event or even particular sport. I am loving CrossFit even more than I thought I would. I found a new work out pace and place and am looking forward to 2014! I have no real goals set for the new year. I plan to continue on this road of good health, consistent workouts, (mostly) paleo diet, and see where it takes me.
My next half will be one from my bucket list. The Indy Mini Marathon! I'm super excited! Training officially begins on January 12th.
