Merry Christmas to all of those who celebrate! May all of your stockings be filled and your day be filled with joy and laughter.
It’s Friday, so I am linking up with Courtney at Eat, Pray, Run DC, Cynthia at You Signed Up for What and Mar at Mar on the Run for their weekly linkup. This is the last Friday Five of the year and it is a “free” day where we can write on any topic. I picked “5 Things I’m Looking Forward to in 2016.”
1. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of my first marathon in San Francisco on 7/31 and 20th anniversary of my first NYC Marathon on 11/6 by running both with friends. Time flies when you are having fun. 40 marathons later and 20 years, who could have guessed? I am excited to celebrate these milestones with as many friends as possible. Recruitment for SF has already started. Be warned.
2. Planning our next international adventure (and hopefully meeting up with Rhys and maybe Shona).
This year, we joined Rhys in Colombia. We have to synch up schedules for 2016. We are also considering Italy and Croatia among others. It is such a big, amazing world! I am sure we will come up with something awesome.
3. Being an ambassador for CEP Compression and Run Gum! These are awesome products with amazing people behind them. I can’t wait to tell you more and share these along with current faves from Janji and others!! Expect news, info and hopefully some great sharing of goodies.
4. Keeping up awesome traditions of meeting friends for over the holidays, at races and events… and starting new ones, too! We were very fortunate to meet up with many friends this holiday season. For some, it is the one time of year we see each other. I am also signed up for the NYC Half again (5th year in a row) with Alexandra’s Playground, Cycle for Survival (also 5th year in a row), Shamrock Shuffle and more of my fave events and races. I have been invited to some new things, too, so we can see what sticks!
5. Finding and sharing awesome finds! I already have over a dozen things in the queue from caffeinated toothpaste to goat milk protein powder to a new smoothie box delivery company in Chicago. I have a ton of great giveaways planned, too! Don’t miss my current giveaways, too!
What are you looking forward to in 2016? Whatever it is, I wish you the best! Merry Christmas and best wishes for a wonderful 2016! I am very grateful for my blog and the enjoyment it brings me.
