Today’s Topic is: Your year in pictures:
I’ve run 43 races and over 1000 miles. How can I limit myself??
But I’ll and only post one racing picture per month:
January:
lots of free races with friends as part of the HMRRC’s Winter Series
February:
windy and cold but I completed an awesome half marathon (Sarasota Music) in Florida while visiting friends
March:
perfect weather for the hilliest half marathon (Celebrate Life) and a fun time on the bus road trip
April:
another nice day for a half marathon along my favorite lake (Lake George) and with my running buddy Barbara
May:
loved getting to see fellow blogger AJH and survived this heat cancelled marathon relay (VCM)
June:
one of my favorite races (Adirondack Distance 10 Miler) that finishes next door to the marina where we keep our boat
July:
not all races have had good weather but still a good time in this wet 5k (Saratoga Springs)
August:
this 8.4 mile race was on my bucket list and happy to be able to run this hilly one and win my AG
September:
Another local half marathon completed on a beautiful course (Saratoga Palio) followed by free beer and bar food
October:
Half Marathon #22 and a PR!!! Loved this race!! (Ramblefest)
November:
sharing 3 Russian young women’s first NYC racing experience was the best! (Dash to the Finish 5k)
December:
Sharing half marathon #23 with 7 amazing ladies #holottafun
Phew! That was tough! I could have posted at least 10 pics for each month. I also ignored all those running experiences that were not part of a race.
Here’s just a few:
-
- along the Hudson River, NYC
-
- along the East River, NYC
-
- in Central Park, NYC
-
- along the Rail Trail, Delmar, NY
-
- along the Zim Smith Trail, Round Lake, NY
-
- Corning Bike Path
I’ve enjoyed a great 2016 and feel so fortunate to have had zero injuries and to have been able to race often and with so many wonderful runners.
Happy Running! What is your favorite memory of 2016?
My First 5K and More... 
You had a pretty awesome running year (if not personal — kind of like me).
If I do Celebrate Half again this year, I’m wondering how it would stack up against my Phoenix Half.

Yeah, let’s forget the personal stuff.
The weather was nice last year but in the past, it has been snowy, icy and hilly. That would suck.
I plan to do the relay if I can find a partner.

Well, it’s always hilly. 🙂
Snow & icy would definitely suck. I’m still thinking about pretty much everything for 2017!
