Linking up with the sweet Nicolasa at Shoelaces and Bibs for a look into the 2013 running year of others and to share mine!!!
1. My main goal for this 2013 was:
As always, my goal was to enjoy a healthy life! Running affords me this and to realize what my body can do.
2. My Running Shoes:
Started out with Hoka 11's (toe box too small which caused the lose of two toenails) then switched to Mizuno Alchemy Wave. Will likely try out the Brooks Ghost in 2014
3. Favorite running gear item of 2013:
GOSH! I can't choose between my Garmin and my Apple shuffle...
