  1. 22 in-person races! That’s amazing!
    I didn’t count mine, but I know I’m guessing I have around 10 – 15 races.
    Like you, I love racing – it’s fun and it’s great training. In fact, I have a 10k race this evening at 6pm. It’s probably going to be my last race of 2021.

  2. You and Kim definitely win for the most bling! My favorite bling in a year of limited bling was my patch from the Mammoth Hiking Challenge. It symbolizes a return to movement after my injury as well as conquering a very difficult challenge!

  7. You definitely keep yourself busy, and not just on your daily activities. I wish I had more options for races in my “out in the boonies” area, but the races we do have available are nice. My races were down this year, as well, so I was surprised when I tallied up the count for my Bling post…more races than what it seemed, LOL.

  10. I was thoroughly impressed with how many actual races you were able to run this year! Nicely done. I managed to squeak in a few few the last few months of the year. On to the next year

  11. Nice bling! Congrats on all your races. I ran 2 in-person races but only got 1 medal. Hoping to do a few more next year. Its gonna be tough though because my husband started signing up for races, so now I need to find another person to watch Grayson if we are both running the same race!

    • There are benefits to having a husband who is a runner but I guess there is a downside too. Hope you two can compromise or get a babysitter lol

  12. Wow! 22 races, and that’s “low” for you? How many do you run in non-pandemic times? What’s the most you’ve ever run in a year?
    Great job keeping yourself healthy and able to do all those races. Maybe I should start doing what you’re doing- no strength training (I would love that part!) lots of hiking and lots of races. It’s definitely working for you!

    • 40 is the most I think but usually run about 30. Before I had a running group to do long runs with, I would sign up for races and run one most weekends.
      No, strength training is important. I’m lazy!!.
