Year in Review Part I

I've seen a few people posting this lately so I headed over to MissZippy to get the low-down-skinny....She asked her readers to post a 2011 Reveiw. I figured this would be a nice leeway into my in depth review of 2011. So here you have it:

Best race experience?
Hands down I'd have to say my White Lake 70.3. What an accomplishment! And when I finished, after going hard for SEVEN hours I was thrilled, elated, amazed, tired and HAPPY TO BE ALIVE.




Best run?   I'd have to say my recent 10k PR. I ran faster than than I thought possible. I was tired but fought hard against my mind and my doubts. The result is a new found competitive spirit and confidence that I can do this, and I can do it faster!

Best new piece of gear?  My beloved Felt, Nelly CIRN.


• 

Best piece of running advice you received?    Just run, put the Garmin down and run.

Most Inspirational Runner?  I'm kinda crushin' on inspired by Scott Jurek right now. He's the one holding the microphone.

If you could sum up your year in a couple of words, what would they be? 
Challenging but rewarding.


So there you have....how about you? Did you answer these questions? Let me know and I'll come check out your answers! Or you can answer them in a comment!
