This week’s topic is: Your Year in Photos
Definitely one of my favorites topics because I LOVE to take pictures. The challenge was limiting each month to ONE or TWO pictures.
Here you go:
January
A New Year’s Day fun race to start off the year.
February
My annual vacation to Florida’s east coast to visit friends but unfortunately a broken foot while there resulted in missing running a half marathon.
at least I had great weather
hooray for wheelchairs and great friends
March
Spectating rather than running the NYC Half Marathon.
I still celebrated with my running friends
April
Experiencing the Cherry Blossoms at peak when working in NYC.
Rather than spectating, volunteering at one of my favorite local half marathons.
Tulips in full bloom early in Washington Park, Albany.
May (my favorite month).
Entering a new age group.
Enjoying my annual tennis trip to Naples, Fla.
Finally running a race – a (rainy) half marathon in Brooklyn, NY.
June
Running the Freihofer Run for Women for the 16th time…
and reuniting with my college friends (with whom I spent my junior year in France)
we had a French lunch and then visited the Van Gogh exhibit at the Met.
July
Celebrating the Fourth in (running) style…
Sundays on Lake George (though it was rainier than previous summers.)
August
and on my Mondays off, some scenic hikes in MA.
Obsessing on sunflowers
September
Talking my friends in joining me for a Labor Day weekend half marathon
A new addition to my family – Granddaughter Heather.
Another successful race-cation.. this year in the Finger Lakes Region of NYS.
October
Marathon training continued with early morning runs on the rail trail.
and hanging out on the Lake George Islands ended.
November
Crossed the finish line of my second marathon.
and continued the Thanksgiving tradition of running the Troy Turkey Trot 10k.
December
Traveled to Tampa, FL to meet up with friends and run the Hot Chocolate 15K.
Happy Running! What was your favorite photo or event from 2023? Please share.

My First 5K and More... 
You must be the busiest runner I know! A wonderful summary of your 2023. I love how you combine your running with your social life.
I guess the favourite event was saying hello to little Heather.
What was your favourite running event? The Freihofer Run?

Yes. The Freihofer. It used attract elites now just lots of local women.
Tennis used to be my social life. And now it’s running.

I can totally relate to the difficulty in picking just a handful of pics when there’s been an entire year of so much action. You definitely have a lot of great moments and memories to cherish.

I love this! It’s so fun to see your year in photos. I can see it would be so hard to pick just a couple per month. I take a lot of pictures too.
