To be able to complete a triathlon with as much ease and success as you did! You are FIERCE! And your travels to Brasil sounded absolutely heavenly.<br /><br />2015 is going to be a great year for all of us. I can't wait to see what's next on the horizon for you, as you never cease to amaze me. =) Cheers to another year of fitness, health, travels, and our friendship!!!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-49913577351598418332014-12-31T16:03:38.755-06:002014-12-31T16:03:38.755-06:00I know it has been a tough year athletically for y...I know it has been a tough year athletically for you, but I think the title of your post is a little harsh. You still ran a lot of miles, and you seem genuinely healthy now. That is a great thing. Seems like you have learned a lot too in the process. Your trip to Brazil sounded like the trip of a lifetime, for this alone I think 2014 was a success for you. I understand what you go through in terms of injury - my 2011 and 2013 years were very similar to your 2014. I'm basically healthy now, but I know I need to strength train more consistently or I might get injured again.

You actually ran a lot (besides injury) and completed a triathlon which is amazing.
