2012 in review

talking with sarah on saturday, reminiscing about the year (which she was in no doubt a huge part of), i realized just what a silly, fun, crazy, and sometimes stupid year 2012 has truly been. i think that can probably be said about every year though, right? but there were surely a bunch on highlights that i enjoy looking back on, a few i wouldnt mind never thinking of again, and many more i will never, ever forget.

  1. Great job and what an exciting year!! It was so nice to run with a group, I just might be inspired to do a marathon if I had people to keep me from throwing in the towel at mile 18....
