2014 In Photos

December 23, 2014 By: Runner Leana

This week’s Tuesdays on the Run topic, as hosted by MCM Mama, My No-Guilt Life and Run the Great Wide Somewhere, is to show your year in pictures.

2014 in photos

2014 has been an incredible year.  Neil and I rang in the new year by running the NYRR Midnight Run, a 5 mile race through Central Park at midnight.

Neil and I went to Edmonton to visit the Harry Potter Exhibition, and I also got up ridiculously early while we were there so I could watch the men’s hockey gold medal game.

Neil and I went house shopping, and we put our old house on the market!  I also ran the Glencoe Icebreaker 10K with my friends Shannon and Trevor!

May was a big month!  Shannon and I raced the very soggy BMO Vancouver Half Marathon together.

June

I was in Penticton for an Ironman training camp.  It was a huge weekend of training (right before we happened to be moving which added some extra stress).  I had some great workouts though, and I rode all the way up the wall (a road where you gain 150 m in less than 2 km) with no stopping or crying this year!

We also moved into our new house!

Sadly September ended with me being sick while at Disney World.  This soup was the first food I was able to eat in 24 hours.  Fun!
