| Wineglass Marathon 4:53:23 |
Best Run? A tie between the Red Baron Half Marathon where I went sub-10 the whole way & the Pie & Glove 5K because I ran sub-9's which I have NEVER done. Plus I got to run with my family. It was the first time I'd been able to sustain those kind of paces over those distances.

Best Piece of New Gear? Big G: During the summer I joined the Garmin generation & began obsessively tracking the stats from each run!

Best piece of running advice you have received? One of you told me when I was freaking out right before the marathon to not worry about the time. You only get to run your first marathon once, so just go out there & enjoy every moment. Best. Advice. Ever.

| My kids call this my lunatic picture...it is poring, I am soaked, I still have 17 more miles to go ....I am HAPPY! |
Most inspirational Runner? My neighbour Sheila who is an awesome runner & always so encouraging.

| She was at the finish line & cheering for me! |
If you could sum up your year in a couple words what would they be? Unbelievable joy :)
Thank you ALL for your wonderful support this year! You have lifted me up when I needed it!
Have a very Merry Christmas & a safe & Happy New Year!
Happy Running!

You looked so happy in all of these pics! I think my favorite was the one where your neighbor was waiting for you. It's the best feeling to have someone there with a smile and hug.

Love the smiling pics of the marathon! I've never run a marathon but my first half marathon was raining, chilling and miserable and I smiled the entire time (well most of it) since I had never run more than about 5 miles in the 42 years leading up to training for that race.
Happy New Year!
