Then and Now: January

Well, January is over already! This year is already going very fast. I must be getting old or something! It's fun to look back a year at all the photos and see what I was up to last year vs whats going on this year. Last year I was traveling, so things are a bit different now! Not to say that any one is better than the other, but they are definitely different! Some things, such as my mileage, have changed drastically. Others, such as the weather, are similar. Here are the comparisons of 2011 vs 2012, the Who, the What and the Where of January.
WHO:
2011
2012
WHAT:
Miles Run:  2011 = 0 / 2012 = 85
When you look at it this way, it seems like I ran a lot of miles in January, even though January mileage is so much lower than my last 6 months of running. This puts it in perspective though and makes me glad I am running more miles this year than last! 
Races:  2011 = 0 / 2012 =  1
Coyote Ridge Half Marathon - Fremont, CA  (race recap on it's way)
Books Read:  2011 = 7 / 2012 = 5
The Forgotten Garden – Kate Morton:   I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. It was a fun, easy read about a woman who goes searching for her grandmother's ancestors and finds out more than she bargained for.
Still Missing – Chevy Stevens: This book gets a 4 out of 5 as well. It was good, and it held my attention, but it didn't quite end the way I thought it should. I guess you could say there was a twist. I was kind of dissatisfied by the ending though.

WHERE:

2012
How was your January? Did it differ much from last year? How are you doing on your resolutions so far?
