Today I did my final run of 2013. Going back over my Nike+ activities, there were a handful that were wrong (like recording .8 miles for 3 miles, etc). After adding up my actual hours calculated by Nike+, it brought me up to 252.6 miles for the year. I did a final run of 2.4 to bring my final mileage to 255 miles.
Sure, that's not a big number. It really only averages out to .7 miles per day, or 2 miles for each of my 3x a week runs. Plenty of other runners have annual mileages in the THOUSANDS!
But you know what? I'm not them. They are not me. I am not the me who was, even last year.
This year, I ran a half-marathon.
This year, I RAN.
It's cliche, but if you told me a few years ago that the fat, lazy-ass girl that I was would become this girl that I am today, I would have laughed at you (and probably would've gotten some chip crumbs on you).
It's amazing what time and patience can do for a person.
So, what's ahead for 2014? I don't know yet, but it won't be going back to a fat, lazy-ass girl.
Stay safe tonight everyone! New Year's Eve can be dangerous.
