2013 Races

With today being the LAST DAY OF THE YEAR, I thought I would reflect back over my past year. 2013 was QUITE the year for races. This was my first full year as a ‘runner’. I wanted to do 13 races in 2013 and I am HAPPY to report that I kicked that goal’s booty - I did EIGHTEEN RACES this year!

Below are the races that I ran this past year (along with a link to the recap and a picture or two from the event).
