Running Year in Review

There were ups and downs this year in my running but overall I'm happy with it.

I racked up 271.4 miles this year.  Good but not as good as last year
I started the year at 195 and ended at 199.  About which I'm actually pleased.  I managed to maintain my weight within a few pounds all year after loosing 20 pounds last year.  So a year of setting a new baseline isn't bad.
I ran a 10K with my dad and a 1/2 marathon with my friends.
I got a new Garmin watch about which I'm really excited to track my runs and I've been testing it out.

So after a good year you gotta set new goals.  Drum roll please...

2014 fitness goals;
- Finish at least (5) half marathons
- Go Streaking!  Not what you think.  A running 'streak' are consecutive running days in this case I'll count any day where I run at least 1 mile.  I would love to streak for a month but since my current record is four days I think I'll settle for a goal of 14 days.
- Run at least (2) races with my dad and beat him at one.  He usually lets me win.
- Loose a minimum of 10 pounds and maintain that through the rest of the year.
