Hej! Hvordan har du det? I tried to get a lil off the grid over the holidays so I didn’t check in with Sasha Medea or read blogs or respond to text messages (sorry Mom). but I’m BACK! and I want to feel like I’m back with running too so I’m thinking about my goals for this year. I have a few races on the calendar so far and need to figure out goal RACES next. but before we talk about new year, new goals… Let’s run down the best parts of last year.
Here’s a round up of my favorite runs, races and recipes from last year. This is my favorite food or recipes, running highlights and life updates that I want to share and discuss.

RUNNING
I don’t really keep track of my mileage, but I do wear a running GPS view and that tracks it for me. So I looked up my mileage for the whole year and was amazed that I ran so much. I feel like I had a really ‘off’ year. I think when I first went through my separation and eventual divorce I was running and walking a lot. It was aimless and a lot of junk miles, but I just would go out and do some sorta run 6 days of the week.
But this year I transitioned to a different step in the grieving process and just felt unmotivated, unorganized and uninspired. A lot of un-words! So I felt like I ran a lot less. I only did 1 marathon! That’s SHOCKING to me. ever because I ran my 1st marathon I’ve run several each year! One year I ran 9 marathons!
Right before the Revel big Bear Marathon I realized I hadn’t run a full in over a year – because the Boston Marathon!!
And that mind F**ked me big time. It made me uncertain of my running abilities and fitness. and much more importantly, it made me question… who am I? What am I even doing?
That’s not me trying to be dramatic – the timing of my separation and some of the things I was told at that time… tied in directly with running. So I just focused on getting through the Boston Marathon without having a public breakdown. after that I didn’t have any running or racing goals because I felt like what I was working towards was unimportant and irrelevant. I stopped working towards a pr in the marathon and potential BQ. It felt sad and pointless. I felt sad and pointless? Begge??
I didn’t realize that I kind of fell off the wagon with running until best before Revel big Bear. I think I was probably stuck in some combination of sorrow and anxiety for a big chunk of time. looking back now – I really haven’t been myself for a long time.
Luckily, I kept running because I love it. It’s fun and a good way to get some good endorphins, think, cry, listen to podcasts, stay in shape…
So yeah, this year I didn’t accomplish any major running goals. but I survived, didn’t take up any very self-destructive habits, didn’t lose faith, tried to become a better person and got through several challenges – they just happened to be adult stuff not running stuff.
Moving on – instead of focusing on what I didn’t do – let’s talk about what I did…
I did run several half marathons, 1 full marathon and a lot of miles! (Randomly, my best half marathon isn’t recorded on the Garmin connect calendar? There’s no mileage recorded whatsoever for that weekend so I actually ran much more than the record shows! Boom.)
Miles I ran last year: 2,536*
Calories I burned: 272,234
Calories I ate: +8,986,246,544
*Note: At least 1 race isn’t recorded in this total but there may be more. I’m not concerned enough about it to try and go back and check to see other days where I know I ran but the calendar doesn’t show it. This is a good estimate and if anything I’ve run much more and not less so I don’t feel like I’m cheating myself on this.
Focus on what YOU did not what you failed to do. Then, focus on what you want to do next.
Forbliv positiv. give yourself credit report for every tiny victory.
Gentage.
Overall I’m just very grateful for so numerous things. That’s what I want to focus on as I look back on last year’s running.
I’m grateful for…
The miles I ran.

Brooks Running Shoes. I put so numerous miles on them!

Denne gang. Jeg er taknemmelig for, at jeg bor i et tidspunkt og et sted, hvor det er sikkert, normalt, accepteret osv. For at være en løber.
Jeg er bare meget taknemmelig for at løbe og køre spiser gentagelse og alle de muligheder, jeg har på grund af det. Jeg er meget velsignet.

2. Find ud af en langvarig løbsplan for at forblive i halv maratonform og også bruge tid på styrke og tværtræning.
3. … Jeg er ikke sikker på ?? Det kan være fint for mig, men jeg er åben for at finde et andet mål.
