        Major suckage for most of the year both running wise and personally. Things have turned around with both in the last quarter so I hope to carry that through to 2015.

          I'd say, indifferent.  I had a minor health issue in June that set me back some and then an ensuing lazy streak.  I will finish the year with my second highest annual miles out of 3 years running.  Looking forward to a better year in 2015.

          Running for TJ because he can't.

                Good in that I did PR every distance as I intended.

                 

                Bad in that I was injured ALL FREAKING YEAR.

                  I had a good running year. Not great, but good.

                    Me too.  Everything went way better than expected, running and non-running.

                         I had a good running year. Not great, but good.

                        I don't know, 3:23 sounds pretty effin' great to me.

                         

                        On the balance I would have to consider it a great year. Despite a couple months of (very badly-timed) injury suckage, the rest of the year was enough. Not a lot of history, so still enjoying the big noob gains. Forgive my indulgence:

                        • Two HM's for total PR improvement by 8 min
                        • Two marathons for total PR improvement of 26 min
                        • First attempts at 5k & 10k, with times faster than my longer distances would predict, earning AG awards at both
                        • A 300+ mile months, several 70+ mile weeks, and total 2300+ miles for the year

                        Never fully satisfied, but I'll take it.

                            If it makes you feel any better, 2013 was big steaming pile of crap.  I was due for a good year!  I'd say my running was merely "very good" this year, but other life stuff (vacations, work, wife's races, etc) made the year great.

                              2014 was shitty in a lot of ways, both running wise and life wise, but I hope it was the set up to a good 2015.  I can't remember the last time I qualified a year as "good."  Does anyone ever have a good year?  Don't you people have bad stuff happen all the time too? 

                              Running is dumb.

                                2014 was great! I got a training partner, trained for and ran my first 10K, trained for and ran my first HM(got my sticker), and PRd in every 5K I ran. Avoided injury. Got a treadmill. Did a streak(still doing it). 2015 will be even better mileage wise. Personally, it was a good year.

                                Still waiting for the perfect race picture. 5K PR-33:52 , 10K PR 1:11:16, First HM 2:42:28
