The Top Ten of 2014 Part 1

The close of 2014 has been a very busy period for me, so much so that I haven't had much of an opportunity to really look back on the events and happenings of the past 12 months. And with Christmas and a holiday in Canada, which I'm thoroughly enjoying, it's hard to find that quiet moment of reflection when there are so many holiday-related things to do.

But, I think what's making it so difficult is also the fact that there were so many things to write that it was hard for me to boil it down into a single top ten list. 2013, the Year of the Snake, was all about coming back from disappointment and setting all my ducks in a row, exercising patience and consolidation like a snake would do. 2014, the Year of the Horse, was all about chasing those dreams with unrelenting passion and vigour.

2014 - the Year of the Horse in the Chinese zodiac.

New York City Marathon 2014 - Race Report

It was a fairy tale ending to a journey that has spanned nearly five years. A journey that has had its share of extreme highs and lows, both pure exhilaration and bitter disappointments combined. But, none of those previous experiences could ever compare to that special moment in time when I finally reached my destination. The road to breaking 3 hours in a marathon ended on a cold and very windy day in New York City.
