Another fun year of running has come to a close. Instead of blabbing about my year, I thought it would be fun to share it in pictures. So, without further adieu...
February

| New Jersey 100 Mile. Me at mile 50. Ended up dropping out at mile 70 because I was frozen to the core. Hoping to finish my second 100 mile attempt in June! |
 |
| Course was a little muddy for the 100 miler |

2014 promises to be another fun year for me. I recently found out that I will be continuing my partnership with
Nuun Hydration as an Ambassador, so I'm looking forward to working with them again. I will be blogging for The North Face again at one of their 2014
Endurance Challenge events. I've also dipped my toes into writing and will be contributing articles to
Trail and Ultra Running in the new year. Be on the lookout for my first published article soon! Be sure to browse their site, too. Pretty cool content.
Training for my next 100 mile attempt starts in January. I'm going to be running the
Bryce 100 in Utah in June. I'm certainly not doing myself any favors of guaranteeing a finish at this race, as the course looks pretty killer. But, I look forward to the challenge as well as the beauty I will get to see!
I hope you all had great a 2013! I wish you a safe and wonderful holiday and a strong 2014 running season!
Cheers,
Doug
