- All races were on trail. All included lots of climbing.
- Races took me to Salida, Creede and the San Jauns (CO); Los Alamos (NM); Salt Lake City, Logan and Bear Lake (UT with a tad in ID).
- I have run on every hill or mountain visible from my house: the "biscuit" and Twin Mtns, Old Woman Creek/Blue Ridge/Natural Arch, Agua Ramon, Del Norte Peak, Bennet Peak, Lookout Mtn (aka "D" Mtn), and our neighbors' rolling foothills.
- Summited two 14,000' peaks: Mt Bierstadt and Mt Evans
- Gained invaluable experience from completely losing my head during Bear 100.
- Total running miles: 2026. Total running elevation gain: 221,800' (~68 miles). Total running time: 330 hours.
- After spending all time in the backcountry and losing my speed from focusing otherwise, I finally feel like my head has come around since Boston 2013.
- Had a peak into our nonagenarian years while tending to Nathan during his puke fest and inability to even bathe himself after a race gone bad
- Survived my hand getting smashed between two 20+ lbs logs (one log traveling at 9.81 m/s^2) with only an enlarged interphalangeal joint but no greater injury. Nathan survived cutting his own leg with a chainsaw with only a gnarly scar but, somehow, no greater injury.
- The efforts delivering such injuries also led to a stockpile of twice as much wood as last year.
- Progressed from a single income household for much longer than anticipated to Nathan having a job within an actual profession (not just a job). For the first time in our lives, we both have retirement funds.
- A dogdog joined our household.
- Branched my dual inpatient/outpatient caseloads into policy development so as to help bring the therapy department into the modern world.
- Took work home with me in a way I never expected - facilitating a respectful death for my own Grandmother.
- Became clinical instructor for a PT student for the first time. Will have my second student come May.
- Bought TWO cars. And a vacuum. And a mountain bike.
