Those races are now done and dusted. \u00a0They were amazing experiences, as were all of the other races I took part in, including 5 other half marathons. \u00a0I still consider myself an average runner and let&#8217;s just say if I ever make it to Boston it will be because I have aged into the &#8220;slower&#8221; categories. \u00a0But this average runner is having a blast, challenging myself to new things, meeting other runners and taking part in lots of local races.<\/p>\n<p>So what events will I be writing about this year? \u00a0There is no marathon planned for 2014 but there are still exciting things to take place. \u00a0Very soon I will be taking part in my first Around the Bay 30k Race. \u00a0I&#8217;m hoping to do the Vancouver Half Marathon in June as a destination race. \u00a0I have also set a goal of completing 14 races this year. \u00a0In the world of running there is always a new challenge just around the corner. \u00a0So join me this year for another running journey and if you can, take a moment to &#8220;chat&#8221; in the comment section.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s to another year of fun running \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a year now since I started this blog. \u00a0In my first post I wrote about how the big year ahead prompted me to write about my running experiences. \u00a0I was a few weeks away from running the New York City Half Marathon, my first destination race and only my third half marathon.
