2013 in Review!

So I have been MIA for quite a few months, but I have been running, and staying ridiculously busy at work! The joy of working retail at the holidays.  I am officially on vacation for a week and I am in Texas visiting family.  I finished the year kind of on a high.  I had a relatively good year, and if what you do on New Years Eve is what is in store for you for the year to come means I am going to be with good friends, good drinks, and lots of laughs and memories.  Although I did not compete in a half marathon for the year of 2013, I have already registered for 2 in 2014.  My final numbers for 2013 are 245 miles ran, which is huge considering I stopped running due to injuries twice this year.  My goal for 2014 is 500 miles.  I ended the year with shin splints, but I have found compression sleeves, compression socks and foam rolling.  All have been helping but so has icing and just resting.  I am getting back out on the pavement due to my goals for the year plus I have a race in 2 days and then another one in 2 weeks.  I am so excited for both as I will be doing them by myself.  One of the highlights of 2013 in regards to running was doing a virtual 10k that MRM and I got to run "together". He is deployed and I am in Georgia and the original race was in Cleveland.  It was fun and meant so much to do that distance "with" him.  I need to be going to bed, but I am excited to use this as my journal and stick to it this year.  Also I want feedback, what do you guys want from me this year.
