Year in Review 2013

Yesterday, I posted my Top 13 (most viewed posts) of 2013, and Friday, I posted my #YearofRunning13. To continue recapping 2013, let's take a look month-by-month at how this year went down. Bullet-style.

January

• I kicked off 2013 with some goals for the year. Like most New Year Resolutions Goals, I didn't really stick to them too well. :( January was a pretty good month, though. 
• Many of my most viewed posts were from January, so blogging-wise, I was on top of my game. I also did a blog redesign.
• Work was crazy busy and a bit stressful. Lots of major projects to tackle. 
• And I struggled with my hair experiment.
• Oh yeah, and Jeff and I went on a date night to Bahama Breeze and discovered we love coconut shrimp. Who knew?

February

• The month started out with a 5k PR. Whoo hoo!!
• It's the month of love, and I professed my love of my bike, running, and a few other things.
• I didn't cut my hair, but I go a bit more reddish. :)

March

• This was a fun month with NASCAR, Cee Lo Green, and a baseball game.
• As well as a visit from my brother, a visit from a college friend, a friend's birthday, and a Fitfluential meetup.
• I also tried out a new (to me) restaurant with some bloggers.
• Struggled with calling myself a runner.
• Spring came as it does every year, and I spruced up my closet at the thrift store.
• I wrote what I think is one of my most important posts - Sharing the Road: Tips for Drivers. It makes me a little sad this one didn't make it to my top 13.

April

• After the craziness of March, April was kind of slow.
• Jeff and I designed someone else's blog.
• And I ran Ragnar Zion, which was super fun. You can read about it here, here, and here.

May

• We tried Bountiful Baskets for the first time and LOVED it!!
• I  started my first ever Run Streak.

• And I went blonder.

June

• I created a new workout and tried out Shine Fitness.
• With summer comes the need to focus on hydration and how to monitor your hydration levels.
• I ended the hair experiment and cut my hair.

• We bought a crazy new sofa.

• And I learned about Bitchy Resting Face.

July

• I fell in love with the Mizuno Wave Sayonara and finished my Run Streak.
• Hosted a pool workout series.
• Registered for my first marathon in 10 years and won entry to the Valley of Fire Half Marathon.
• Another visit from my brother. Yay!

August

• MY BIRTHDAY!
• Hosted my first ever virtual race and started marathon training.
• And there was lunch with an old college friend.

September

• We bought a new car - Meet Genie!

• I volunteered at Bite of Las Vegas.

October

• I shared my Running Story and created a fun hill workout for Halloween.
• We attended LUCKYRICE at The Cosmopolitan.
• My parents came to visit and we saw Bon Jovi, visited Hoover Dam, hiked at Valley of Fire, and caught the free shows on the Strip.
• Volunteered at Life is Beautiful, attended NHRA, and stopped by the Las Vegas Balloon Festival before a long run.

November

• I ran Valley of Fire Half Marathon, met a new friend, and checked out the RnR Vegas race expo.
• Dyed my hair a deep red. 
  
  

December

• Um. I ran my 1st marathon in 10 years! And haven't really run since.
• Registered for the RnR Las Vegas Marathon next Nov!
• Gave my blog another face lift.
• Got my first celebrity follower on twitter.
• Dressed up to go and pick up pizza on Christmas Day. 

I also spent countless hours running and many hours in the hot tub. Of course, there was plenty of time spent snuggling with Sallie and watching TV/Movies with Jeff.

All-in-all, I'd say it was a pretty great year! Can't wait to see what 2014 brings!
