My 2014 goals were:
1. To log my miles for the first time ever…with a goal of 2,014 mile.
2. Run more races than ever with the Fleet Feet Race Team with a goal of getting more comfortable with road marathons.
3. Become a pacer for the Fleet Feet Country Music Marathon Training Program
4. Start a blog.
Here’s how it played out…
January

August
Race: Cumberland Plateau Stage Race
September: I started JenChoosesJoy!

And…I became an RRCA Coach!

I am really proud of that total: 3, 821! I followed a bunch of Mark Hadley’s training plans and he got me through a lot of races!
2015 Run Goals
1. I was fortunate to make the Fleet Feet Racing Team again…woo hoo!
2. I’m going to pace a training group for the Fleet Feet Country Music Marathon 4 hour group.
3. Run and write for the Rock ‘N’ Blog Team.
4. I’m going to log my miles again, but I’m hesitant to set a goal. I want to listen to my body and see where it leads. 4,000 miles would be great, but that depends on how I’m feeling.
Blog Goals:
1. Continue to grow JenChoosesJoy by posting 6 times a week.
2. Move to a self-hosted site with ads.
3. Make #choosejoy shirts to raise money for St. Jude. 🙂
2015 Races:
1. Pistol Ultra…although as I type this, I have a tight Achilles and I’m on the fence about racing 😦
2. Boston Marathon
3. Seattle Half or Full
4. Franklin Classic 10k
5. New York Marathon
6. Flying Monkey Marathon
7. Boulevard Bolt
8. St. Jude Memphis Half or Full
And, because I like to aim high…
I hope you ALL have a very Happy New Year!!!
What was your 2015 running highlight? Mine was a surprising 2nd overall female finish at the Flying Monkey Marathon!
What was your best lesson learned? I don’t need to race 3 marathons and 1 ultra within 3 months. I’m exhausted!
How did you ring in the New Year? Pizza and champagne with my husband at home…perfection:)
