A New Year

Goodbye 2012 and hello 2013! It's been a great year for me with my cycling and running. I think going forward I need to blog about both of these activities that I have grown to love.

I cycled 1860 miles and ran over 370 miles. I did my very first duathlon, got a new bicycle (pink and black - my favorite colors), completed 5 half marathons and became an official "Half Fanatic". A busy year indeed!

Time to set a few goals for the new year: I definitely need to blog more! I got so busy with everything else that my blogging was put on the back burner. I'm going to do my first (last and only) full marathon at the Little Rock Marathon in March. I want to do some more duathlons and I want to do my first triathlon if I can conquer my fear of being under the water.

I would also like to devote some of my blog topics to great ideas, things I've learned that might be helpful to others, neat places to bike or run and products that I love.

I'm looking forward to new challenges, meeting new friends and seeing my friends that I ride and run with. I hope to inspire many and at the same time, draw strength and inspiration from others.
