So tell me about your races in 2012 
.
Aww! Love your recap! I didn’t know you got in to tris this year (since I am a newer reader). Very cool! I bet soon you will be dominating that field too, speedy pants
Love your Color Run pic! And all your pics, really! And congrats on winning a race OVERALL! That is so cool!
Thanks for the shoutout!
I hope we get to “race” together again in 2013!

I started swimming/cycling when I was injured last winter and figured I might as well try a tri while I was in shape for it and I really like it! Tris remind me a lot of trail races, they’re much more laid back!
Thanks for sharing the template and I hope we can race together soon too!
I love your summary! This year was the first year that I actually started participating in road races. I was to scared to start and then one day enough was enough. So far I have completed 6 races and I want to run 21 races before I’m 21!

Thanks — sounds like you’re racing again before the new year. Can’t wait to hear about it!
This is such a great summary! You had a great year of racing
I’m definitely stealing this for my training recap post. Thanks for sharing!! I really like the costumes 
Sarah @PickyRunner recently posted..It’s a beautiful day for some beautiful blends
Thanks Sarah! It was really fun to look back at all of the races.. I actually forgot about a few!
What a fun idea! I love the race recap idea. I did several 10ks and 5ks, but my big race for this year was my FIRST marathon!!! Such a fun and crazy hard experience. I always said I would only do one…but I qualified for Boston, so I may have to run one more!
OOh so exciting! Are you running it in 2013?
I just started filling out Kim’s form! I’m so excited to see all the statistics!

I just went back and read your final thoughts for Boston blog. (Hopefully you get the comment.). This is a really cool idea and I like it a lot. It looks to be a pretty successful year of running and don’t let anyone (including yourself) tell you otherwise.
