Happy New Year everyone! I can't believe it's been an entire year since I last posted -- sorry about that. I'm sure you were all very, very upset. It was quite a year for me in my non-running life. I (finally) wrote my dissertation and finished my PhD, moved to Newport, RI, and started a new job as an assistant professor. None of which I was planning on this time last year, but I'm definitely not complaining!

The downside of all this great stuff happening is that I majorly slacked off in the endurance sports (and particularly blogging about endurance sports) department. But now that I'm (mostly) settled into the routine here, I'm ready to jump back in to my favorite hobby, big time.
Despite my suddenly altered 2014 priorities, I did hit a couple of my goals:
Run a sub-60 10K
 |
| Why yes, that is a PR WOOT WOOT |
Run a small marathon
Cape Cod Marathon, Oct 26 (we'll just ignore the time on that one ... hey look another turkey trot pic!)

But more importantly, on to 2015! I'm going big this year. The backbone of my race schedule is:
Providence Half (May)
Jamestown Half (July)
Ironman 70.3 Timberman (Aug)
Newport Marathon (Oct)
I'm still looking to fill in with some shorter races (especially sprint and oly triathlons) and I'd still love to get my first trail race in. Suggestions are welcome!
That's all for now -- back to enjoying my last day of holiday laziness ...
