Last year, I wrote a blog entitled 2014 Year in Review. 2014 was a busy year, and also on of the saddest years of my life since I had to put my dog, Butterscotch, to sleep. But there were also positive memories like multiple Spartan races, spring break in Marco Island, Florida, and a trip to Brazil for my sister’s wedding.
Unfortunately, I was not able to run even one race in 2015 since I was dealing with Lyme symptoms for the majority of the year. I’m hoping that will change for 2016. Regardless, though, I still had a pretty great 2015.
Here’s a look at this past year. 2015 in Review:
