Okay all these posts have rapidly become my favorites. Seriously, I adore seeing what all of my bloggy besties have accomplished in the last 12 months. You all are amazingggggg. I am also equally excited to see what everyone has lined up for 2012.
2011 Highlights:
Ran my first and oddly enough my fastest Half Marathon in March 2011.
Left my crap job and got a new one in March! So scary, but so worth it!
Made some freaking awesome LOCAL running buddies via the DailyMile. Loves to Amber and Lisa.
BOUGHT OUR FIRST HOUSE in July. Moved in to it, painted it.
Adopted Buddy Holly Scheer from the shelter in June. That cat LOVES my kisses.
Turned 27 in June.
Adopted Ritchie Valens Scheer from that same shelter in September. Yep, more kisses.
Won an award. Wahoo 3rd place age group finish at a 5k in September – also my current 5k PR.
Celebrated four married years in September and six coupled up years in November.
Ran a full freaking marathon, HELLO CHICAGO, in October.
Last, but definitely NOT LEAST... I grew out a pixie cut!
Maybe my most notable achievement for the year!
11 races, one house, 2 cats and no more pixie.
Big year my friends!
Alright quick: NAME YOUR ONE HIGHLIGHT FOR 2011.
Mine is obviously the damn marathon. 2011 was the year of the marathon for sure.

I love these posts too!! What a great year you've had!! I adore your hair!! :) I'm working on a 2011 post too! :) I hope your 2012 is just as great as this year if not better!! :) Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI just love recap posts too because seeing what all happens in a year is just amazing...and you had one heck of a year...wow! Don't think you could've crammed much more into it. The kitties are very adorable...tabbies have my heart! Have a wonderful New Year!
ReplyDeleteCan I just say that GROWING OUT A PIXIE CUT IS FREAKING HARD!!!!!!!!!!! That's just as impressive to me as the marathon. Because I am a vain and terrible person who has grown out two pixie cuts, once via shag and once via mushroom cut. Neither was attractive, and I will totally chop my hair off again.
ReplyDeleteI knew I loved you, and oh yeah your house is freaking sweet cute and I am jealous.
Happy New Year!
Love your picture in front of the new house, absolutely adorable! Your cats are too cute, I want kitties!! Great growing out the cut, I did that right after college and it SUCKED, your hair is very stylish now! Great race year, you really rocked!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS POST!!!! So much has happened in 2011 for you and I can't wait to hear about 2012! Seriously.
ReplyDeleteFor me? Um - RagnarHalfMarathonBuyingAHouse. That's one word, right? That's how I sum up 2011.
I too LOVE all these blog posts this week!!
ReplyDelete2011 was definitely my MARATHON YEAR too. Hands down, nothing even compares.
Growing out the hair sucks ass but u did it so well I'm jealous! My growing out stage was difficult.
ReplyDeleteWell my highlight of 2011 seeing u run ur marathon! What an achievement! So proud. I can't wait to see what 2012 brings! Happy new year friend!
WHOA what a year! This post totally makes me want to do a recap too. A great way to see all that the year has brought.
ReplyDeleteMy highlight would be going on my first vacation in years to Boston with my bf and witnessing the Boston Marathon for the very first time.
My lowlight would be my injury that I hope hope hope gets fixed soon!
Damn those marathons! Me too. Your hair is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGotta be the marathon over here too. Love the hair now!!
ReplyDeleteYou are my hero. Growing your hair out is DIFFICULT.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on everything! Buying a house is so exciting, I can't believe that my husband and I will have been in our house for 3 years this summer. It goes by quick!
ReplyDeleteMy most memorable moment was running my first (and only) half marathon. Next year is the year of the marathon for me!
Major life milestones this year Falon! AND I love your Kitty names.
ReplyDeleteMy best moment was a toss up...no, whose kidding herself here, it was totally the marathon finish!
What an exciting 2011! Heres to 2012 being just as blessed.
ReplyDeleteYou for sure did some epic shit in 2011...BOOM! Yeah, it was definitely the 'Year of the Marathon'...1 hour off my rookie 2009 26.2 horror? Are you freaking kidding me?? You hair is adorbs and your cats have cool cat names. Here's to 2012, IL, Ragnar, and running down the Ave....bad assery continues!
ReplyDeleteGreat year, I also completed my first marathon so I'd have to say that's number one on my 2011 list.
