A Happy New Year’s Eve friends. Suddenly another year has come to an end. In many ways it was a great one as well as a rough one. A year ago I had just started this blog and had the bright idea to post that I was going to track my mileage for all of 2014 and see where I would end up 12 months later.
The year started off with a bang in January with a 227 mile month in snowy and super chilly Chicago. I thought I was on track for some epic mileage but I didn’t expect to pretty much bag the running shoes for the months of May and June due to an injury. At the beginning of last year I didn’t know that I would be running a 34 mile Chicago Marathon and then take the following month off.
Despite nearly 3 months of very little to zero mileage, I still had a great year and some very memorable miles. And let’s face it, even the injuries were memorable and lessons in themselves. This past summer was pretty awesome and saw my biggest mileage month at 241 in August. All in all, it was a great year and one I wouldn’t change (ok I would be fine with skipping that whole Achilles tendonitis thing that still has a tendency to flare up).
So where did I end up? 2050 miles, right on the dot! I couldn’t have planned it any better.
Thanks for being a very special part of my year. I have found so many friendships through this blog and learned a lot from so many of you. And a special thanks to my family and husband for being supportive through all of this. From my crazy unexpected long runs to changing our work schedules around so that I could coach, Rock has always been just that, my rock. It truly takes a team to make a runner! Here’s to 2015 being even more epic!
Running On Healthy 
Happy New Year! Have a great one!

sounds like so many miles when you add it up! i have never thought to do that, but it’s such a good idea. happy new year to you!
It was fun to monitor it and you do learn about yourself and your running by tracking miles. You can watch trends as to what your body can and cannot handle.

Love that last quote – and so true 🙂
Great year and awesome mileage total – especially considering the injuries 🙂 Hope you have a great new year!
I love that quote too. It was a great year and those injured miles make the healthy ones even more special and rewarding.
Injury aside, well done on a solid year! I’ve gotten so much out of keeping a good log (mine is more like a diary really). Here’s to a healthy and PR filled 2015!!
I completely agree. Logging miles really does provide a lot of insight. Happy 2015!
You are amazing and insane and I am so glad to have gotten to know you! I hope to run some of your 2015 miles alongside you!
Insane for sure. Let’s definitely grab a run together soon!
Happy New Year Sarah! It’s been lovely reading about your running adventures this year!
Happy New Year to you both too. Love your amazing adventures as well!
So glad we were able to find each other through blogging and hopefully enjoy a run together on the path in 2015. Great job with your miles too!
That would be fun. We most definitely should get together. And for some reason I feel like we might not live that far from each other.
Wow that is incredible mileage…so inspiring!!
Thank you!
Nice! I was wondering what your total would be – that is seriously impressive.
Ha. Thanks!
