Here are some recent running photos.  They are from last week and early this week.  Wednesday, our weather changed for the worse – cold, cloudy, WINDY!

#TBT

I’ve been friends with Andrea since Aug 1973 & Judy since  Aug 1974.

Wow, that’s a long time. (Probably most of you reading this were not even born.)

We shared several apts together and did a lot of partying in the old days of our youth.

Andrea lives in NJ (and I only see her sporadically. Thank God for FB.) Judy lives locally. (I see her all the time.)

None of us did any fitness/sportswise when we were younger (unless bar hopping a sport.)

Now Andrea is avid skier and biker. Judy plays tennis.

They don’t run but they also don’t think I am crazy for running. (In fact, I may stay with Andrea when I run a race next fall.)

Instagram Challenges

Do you take lots of photos?

Do you use Instagram?

If you answered yes, then here are 2 challenges for April that you may be interested in joining:

hiu

This looks like fun but unfortunately it doesn’t look like it will be heating up soon enough around where I live to do this challenge in April… maybe June?

rtyapril

This one looks more doable for me and quite motivating.

**Don’t forget to enter my PocketFuel giveaway!

Happy Running! Anyone going to join either of these challenges?

There’s no better way to look back on the good things that happened than by looking through your blog photos.

So here’s a month by month look at the highlights of 2013:

January:

running over a bridge while on vacation in Daytona Beach, Florida

February:

winning an AG award with AJH at the Polar Cap 4 mile race

March:

finishing the First Watch Half Marathon in Sarasota, FL.

April:

running Sean’s Run 5K with Mary

May:

running the Mother’s Day 5K with my tennis buddy, MaryPat and winning lst place in my new AG.

June:

not a good month but this was taken BEFORE the Freihofer’s Run for Women (the race where I broke my foot)

July:

recovered enough to complete the Biggest Loser 5K

August:

no races this month but several trips to scenic Chestertown to play tennis and run

September:

winning an AG award at the Helper’s Fund 10k where I met a new running partner, Heidi

October:

finishing the Mohawk Hudson River Half Marathon and seeing a lot of familiar faces

November:

running the Stockade-athon 15K

December:

running the Last Run 5k in a snowstorm (just for fun)

It was definitely hard to choose just one memory from each month.  I feel very fortunate.

Happy Running! What were some of your highlights of 2013?
