It has been a year now since I started this blog.  In my first post I wrote about how the big year ahead prompted me to write about my running experiences.  I was a few weeks away from running the New York City Half Marathon, my first destination race and only my third half marathon.  I had also taken a giant leap of faith and registered for the Toronto Waterfront Marathon, my first full marathon. Those races are now done and dusted.  They were amazing experiences, as were all of the other races I took part in, including 5 other half marathons.  I still consider myself an average runner and let’s just say if I ever make it to Boston it will be because I have aged into the “slower” categories.  But this average runner is having a blast, challenging myself to new things, meeting other runners and taking part in lots of local races.

So what events will I be writing about this year?  There is no marathon planned for 2014 but there are still exciting things to take place.  Very soon I will be taking part in my first Around the Bay 30k Race.  I’m hoping to do the Vancouver Half Marathon in June as a destination race.  I have also set a goal of completing 14 races this year.  In the world of running there is always a new challenge just around the corner.  So join me this year for another running journey and if you can, take a moment to “chat” in the comment section.

Here’s to another year of fun running 🙂
