Scenes from mornings in the mountains with my pup. Running and coffee and mountains. It's a good, good life.

@running4my-life tagged me for six selfies for 2016 weeks ago, but I wanted to wait till I could really choose my pictures carefully before I posted anything. So I’m only now getting around to it (on the last possible day haha). Here are the last six months of 2016 in running pictures (with a couple extra thrown in). July: First day of my visit home during summer break so it called for a reunion run with some of my siblings. August: Running in Berkeley during the workshop I was attending at MRSI. Also bonus 6 Monday miles picture to commemorate my 6 week run streak that kept me running every day of August. :) September: Ming visited me in Illinois and we had a few wonderfully hot and sunny runs together. October: A treadmill running selfie to commemorate my many many miles logged at the gym this year. I even did a17 mile long run on the treadmill because prelim studying pushed my workout hours till pretty late at night. November: This was my racing month. I set a new half marathon PR by over 11 minutes at the Berkeley Half and then ran a speedy 5 miles at the turkey trot on Thanksgiving Day. December: Didn’t log many miles but got in a few beautiful trail runs before I left Berkeley and I’ll do one more here in Hawaii this afternoon to say goodbye to 2016.

Day 37: 3.1 miles in 29:32

I was so excited to get out of work early, head to the lake, and tackle a cold, windy 5K! I just had a feeling this run was going to be great before I began, and I was right. I wanted it to be good, so it was!

Only 2 more days left in this streak, and while I’ve really enjoyed it this time around, my hips are starting to ache. I’m looking forward to a break.

Today’s run were speedy 17km in the freezing cold.

Now I understand the “If you want to get faster run faster” thing.
