Happy New Years Eve!
I really have no plans for most of the day. I am going to try to get a workout in and finish cleaning up around the house. Ever since we arrived back home I have been in a cleaning frenzy. I keep going through every inch of the house to de-clutter and get things organized. I guess that isn’t a bad way to start off a new year.
I thought since this is the last day of 2013, I would run through the top 13 posts of 2013.
1. I Have a Femoral Stress Fracture
My announcement of my femoral stress fracture injury. Looking back this was such a hard and emotional post for me to write, and now as I am at the end of my recovery I can still remember and feel all the emotions that I was going through.
This was my first real honest and open post I wrote on the blog about the day I first lost my job. This was a turning point this year for us and it was the first of many challenges we would face.

I made a bunch of progress on my PhD in 2013 so definitely a major highlight. Looking forward to a full year of healthy running in 2014 which I haven’t had since 2009-10 🙂
You and me both! I look forward to lots of healthy running in 2014! I am determined to do things right this year 🙂

I’ve loved getting to know you in 2013, Sara!! While you’ve had some ups and downs, I just know that 2014 will be amazing for you! Happy New Year!
I loved getting to know you as well Megan! I have a feeling this year will be great for both of us! Happy New Year!
I was thinking same as Megan – you’ve built a great community here, and I have found wonderful blogs and great people from their comments here!
You guys have had ups and downs this year for sure, but I do believe that these trying times challenge us but can define you as a couple and make you stronger. Lisa and I were talking about 2013 in terms of ups and downs, and there were veryy few ‘bad’ things, but plenty of stressful moments … that is the life as parents of teens 🙂
Happy new year to you and Wes!
