2015 was an amazing year of running: 3500 miles. 5 races. 1 marathon. New friends. Old friends. Fast friends. Slower friends.

Hours upon hours of good times and company.

Along with coaching, it's been my best year of running, yet. I feel so fortunate to know so many impressive and inspirational people. To me, that includes anyone who laces them up regularly and gets out there and moves. I couldn't be more optimistic and charged up for 2016.

It's my greatest wish for the new year that anyone who's reading this endeavors to get out there and try. Challenge yourself to get out of your comfort zone and try harder. We're all so much more than we give ourselves credit for. This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes by the great Kenyan marathoner -- Paul Tergat:

"Ask yourself: 'can I give more?' The answer is usually 'yes'."
