Oh, 2023 you sure threw me some punches both emotionally and physically. My year of running took a few hits and required some pivoting however, my running shoes still took me to some incredible places. It’s always fun to take a look back. So here goes my year in photos 2023.
My year in photos 2023
January 2023
I was thrilled to be back on the Brooks Run Happy Team for 2023.
February 2023
Running with Wendy (yes we are twinning), Erica and Cynthia on Chicago’s Lake Front trail was a treat on a chilly morning.
March 2023
This was the month where things kind of went off the rails for me temporarily.I had trained so hard for the NYC Half race and was not able to run it last minute. I still went to NYC and made the most of my visit. I jumped into a photo with the leprechauns, hung out with Cari of course and met up my Matt Wilpers from Peloton.
April 2023
While I did not run the Cherry Blossom 10 miler, I was able to hang out with a few of my favorite runners.
April 2023
A dreamy vacation was just what we needed. Back to running on the beach in ST. Thomas was a breath of fresh air.
May 2023
May had me back out with the squad enjoying the spring flowers.
Another trip to Chicago had the hubs and I running along Lake Shore Trail together.
June 2023
June brought us to Cali for a wedding in Berkeley and a few days in Napa.
My husband trained for a Father’s Day 5K with me that we had a lot of fun running together.
July 2023
July took us on an epic 3 week adventure in Italy. I am still dreaming about all the delicious pasta and pizza we enjoyed.
A picture perfect hike in Postino
Our run tour in Florence was one of the best days we had.
August 2023
Another trip to NYC had me sweating it out and lifting heavy with Andy Speer at Peloton.
September 2023
September had me meeting up with my mom and daughter at Canyon Ranch in Lennox, Mass. We took advantage of all the classes and girls’ time together.
October 2023
My running shoes came along with me to Las Vegas.
November 2023
November was full of birthday celebrations, meet ups with friends, Thanksgiving family time and more.
December 2023
We headed off for our usual Hanukkah and Christmas in Aruba for 2 weeks. The best part was being all together again. I did have lots of fun walking on the beach and paddle boarding.
In a year where I was really challenged and felt like I did not accomplish much, it was good for me to look back and see that I had so many opportunities to be thankful for. And, I really am thankful for the friends and family in my life as those are the true gifts.
Thanks for coming along on my trip down memory lane with my 2023 year in photos.
Thanks for helping to make the Runners’ Roundup a huge success by visiting all of the hosts: Me, Debbie, Jen, Lisa
Looks like you have a fun year of travel and hanging with friends! It’s awesome that you also got to run with your hubby!
It is fun to look back and see all that we do! I was just thinking about you and will send you a message 🙂
I love these photo summaries! They really highlight the many good things that happened throughout the year and that there’s a lot to be thankful for.
Your photo are always stunning and joyful.
Looking forward to following along for another exciting year ahead!
Yes, assembling these reminded me of how lucky I am and how many adventures I did have
I think you saw Cari more than me. lol.
Sorry we couldn’t meet up in NYC. We need to plan another.
As you look through your pictures you probably realize how many good things did happen.
Hope there are even more in 2024. And no injuries!!
yes, assembling these photos reminded me on how many adventures we had and how lucky I am to have them. Hope to see you next year 🙂
It’s always fun to look back and see what you did over the past year! I need to do that as well. Travel was big, wasn’t it? I’m glad we got to spend some time together on the Lakefront Path, but I missed you at Hype Fest. I’m hoping for some time together in 2024! Happy New Year!
yes we do need to get together this year! Hopefully we can be roomies again at the retreat 🙂
In spite of your challenges you made the most of it and had a fabulous year of travel and time with family and friends. I love looking at your pictures.
Despite the challenges, it looks like all the fun, excitement & travel was top-notch! Here’s hoping 2024 has even more adventures in store 🙂
Thanks Kim yes, overall I had some great adventures and lots of good times
I know there were some truly difficult moments and seasons this year, but you came through it all and are now clear on the other side! I’m so excited to see where this year takes you!
Thanks Jenn, we both definitely had some curve balls thrown at us this year. Here’s to a better 2024
I know you had some challenges this year, but when you look back like this, it was actually incredible! You had SO MANY adventures! I hope 2024 is just as fun (but without any health issues.)
Btw my posts mysterious appear on these linkups- I don’t mind at all, but some of them are not running related. I just wanted to let you know that I’m not linking them! I don’t know why it happens.
Please feel free to link up anytime posts don’t have to be only about running. Love to have you! I did have lots of challenges this year and yes, I am grateful for the fantastic year of travel, family and friends
Such a fun year in photos post! I especially love the photo with the leprechauns lol
The leprechauns we hilarious on a day where I really needed to smile
You had a year with so many adventures! And its great that you were able to run with your husband. Hope that 2024 is even better for you!
thanks me too!
