Friday Thread: Your year in running, fitness + health
How did it go?
Morning, friends! It’s a cold one out there here where I live in Atlanta, so I’m going to be getting my miles in today on my treadmill. (Again! Yes, I’m a big baby about the weather… 😉)
I was wondering, now as we’re ticking down to the last couple weeks of the year, how your year in running has been — have you hit any big milestones, or achieved any big goals that you set for yourself at the start of the year? Or, done anything you’re just really proud of, even if it wasn’t a goal?
One of the reasons I love our Friday Thread discussions is hearing how you’re doing — how your running and fitness goals are going, whether you’re where you want to be (or not, as is often the case for me!). What’s standing in your way, if you’re not?
Anything and everything you experienced is valid — I love hearing it. So, how was your year? — Terrell
For me, probably the biggest goal achieved/highlight was running the Athens Half Marathon last month with David and Stacy -- it was so much to fun to meet up there, and even though the course was (very!) hilly, it was fun to see Athens in a light I'd never seen it in before, and run through neighborhoods I'd never encountered, even though I've visited there probably dozens of times over the years.
Hey Terrell! 2024 was a big year running-wise for my wife and I. In June we ran the Maryland Half Marathon (which literally runs right by our house). We were able to get bibs for our Foundation for the Falmouth Road Race again which was our second year running it, such a great event and an awesome fundraising effort by our team. And lastly we capped off our year with running the Marine Corps Marathon, which was my wife’s first marathon, she did great. What an amazing course running along all the sights in D.C.
Love reading and following along, thanks for all you do!
