The biggest change in my usual running routine was hiring Britt as my virtual running coach. With her training plan and support, I was able to achieve one hell of a PR in the marathon which I am certain wouldn't have been possible on my own.
3 Marathons.
And a PR of 25 minutes in Fox Valley for a 3:40
Running the Chicago marathon with my L, was an amazing experience that I will never forget.

Grinning like a crazy fool for every step of the Fox Valley 26.2
2 Marathons were run with my best friends in the whole entire world.
I took 2 minutes off of my 2011 half time for a PR in the Chicago Women's Half of 1:46:15
Rock n Roll St. Pete (FL), Chicago Spring Half, Chicago Women's Half, Rock n Roll Chicago
While RnR Chicago was a bust because of the heat, I had fun and the photos turned out awesome!
1 8K.
I came back from the hip flexor injury and took 2:11 off of my 2011 time for a new PR of 39:57
Shamrock Shuffle
No PR this year. My 2011 PR of 22:18 Still stands strong. But I did get 2nd AG, and 2nd overall in the races I ran.
New Year's Day 5K, Run to Remember, Karhu 5k, Grant Park Turkey Trot, Schiller Chiller Trail Run

And Lollapalooza! My favorite band was Amadou e Mariam, but Florence and the Machine, and Jack White were also pretty good. The whole day was just a crazy experience.
2012 was a great year.
I got promoted at work, saw family and friends, got to visit a few states, drank over 300+ unique beers and fell in love with the town I live in, Chicago.
I'm welcoming 2013 with open arms. Some things in early 2013 i'm looking forward to: a Chicago Bulls game, and a much anticipated trip to Brasil.
Tchau 2012, it's been fun!
Feliz ano novo!
