A lot of bloggers like to do a year in review, so I figured I would follow the trend.\u00a0 2015 flew by, that’s for sure.<\/p>\n

January – I ran a birthday half marathon<\/a>.\u00a0 I cancelled my cable subscription<\/a> in January.\u00a0 I can’t believe it’s been that long.\u00a0 I don’t miss it except for on the days where I have to watch football on my computer.\u00a0 I also chopped my hair<\/a> off.\u00a0 And haven’t had a haircut since.<\/p>\n

February – This was a slow month, blog wise, but I ran one of my fastest half marathons<\/a>, then went on a cruise<\/a> where I ran a 5K.<\/p>\n

March – In March, I talked about photoshopped selfies<\/a> and cats<\/a>.\u00a0 I’m pretty sure that these two subjects comprise the entire internet.\u00a0 Or like 98% of it.<\/p>\n

April – I wrote a huge post about pace and inferiority<\/a> and how it can be hard to get past the comparison trap. It’s still one of my favorite posts of the year.\u00a0 And I ran the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler with Betsy<\/a> and it was awesome.<\/p>\n

May – The return to triathlon!\u00a0 My first race of the season, the Kinetic Sprint<\/a> was in May.\u00a0 And I noticed a trend of people perhaps biting off more than they can chew<\/a> when it comes to races.<\/p>\n

June – Swim Bike Deathmarch!\u00a0 Okay, not really, but I raced my first Oly of the season at Challenge WIlliamsburg<\/a>.\u00a0 I did a blood test<\/a> with Inside Tracker.\u00a0 (It’s past time to test again.\u00a0 I should get on that.)\u00a0 I wrote about HAES and Fatlogic<\/a>.\u00a0 I reviewed my Coeur Sports kit<\/a>.\u00a0 Still love them.<\/p>\n

July – A lost kid<\/a> appeared at my door.\u00a0 His family texted me over Christmas to wish me a happy holidays and tell me that they’re praying for me.\u00a0 That’s so sweet.\u00a0 I raced a tri<\/a> in the pouring rain.\u00a0 It was way more fun than I expected.<\/p>\n

August – The month started with the Fort Ritchie tri<\/a>, and to be honest, it was awful.\u00a0 Once again, Iron Girl Columbia<\/a>!\u00a0 It didn’t go as well as I would have hoped.\u00a0 And then I bought a tri bike<\/a>.\u00a0 I also started decluttering my house<\/a>.\u00a0 I’m still pleased with the state of my closet, but I got overwhelmed by my paperwork and books and sort of gave up.\u00a0 I’m going to get back to it in 2016.<\/p>\n

September – I changed up my diet and started avoiding added sugars<\/a>.\u00a0 It’s going pretty well so far.\u00a0 I ran the Beat the Deadline 5K<\/a> and highly recommend it.\u00a0 And I completed one last tri for the season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

October – Raced my 7th Army Ten Miler<\/a>.\u00a0 I love this race.\u00a0 And I talked about losing weight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

November – I talked about lowered fitness standards for kids<\/a> and ran the Space Coast half marathon<\/a>.\u00a0 Love that shuttle bling!<\/p>\n

And that brings us to December, which has been insanely busy.<\/p>\n

So there you have it.\u00a0 A year in under 500 words. Have fun tonight!\u00a0 But not too much fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
