This is the last day of my first full calendar year of Moving My *kitten*, so what have I achieved? In the year I have run for 630.83 miles and walked for 301.5 miles. So my target for 2014 is quite easy, I will do 1000 miles.

Last January I was running at 13 min/mile pace. Today I ran 5.6 miles in 46:59 which is sub 8:30 pace. How fast I can go in 2014 I really don’t know as at my age I must hit the limit soon!

I have competed in 4 races 2 10k and 2 Half Marathons Next Sunday I am running in the same race I ran last January in 1:16:44 and my target is sub 55mins. I am also signed up for a Half marathon in March and I am aiming to go sub 2hrs.

Injury wise I think I was lucky and only missed three weeks or so not being able to run so I hope next year is as good.
What was 2013 like for you folks around the world. What were your high and lows? I’d love to hear.

    That's a tremendous increase in pace in a year!

    My high in 2013: I started running. (Started with C25K in May.) I'm looking forward to 2014 being my first calendar year of Moving My *kitten*.
