Well 2015 has finally
come to an end. I’ll be honest I’m glad
its over. Racing wise this has been a really tough year for me and I’m ready
for the new year so I can focus on the brightness of the present and the future
rather than the gloom of the past. Like
every negative thing that happens there is a positive side that is often hidden
in the cracks that you have to dig to find.
You can learn from everything you do no matter good or bad. While 2015 has been a rough year I have taken
a lot away from it and feel like I have learned a ton about myself, both
personally as well as running wise.
Pushing aside the old year
let us look toward 2016!! So much is going on in the beginning of the
year. In the beginning of January I’ll
be turning 19 and in just 44 days it will be the US Olympic Marathon Trials in
LA! Crazy how fast that has approached.
I am all healthy and in the swing of training; working on my fitness
both physically and mentally.
My big news for the year
though is that I have signed with a shoe sponsor!! I am now sponsored by On,
which is a Swiss Performance Running Shoe Company. After everything that
happened with New York to have this opportunity means a lot to me and I am
excited to represent On this year. :) :) :)
People always like to go with
the saying "New Year, New Me" during this time and I feel like this is appropriate
for right now. Now that I have had a
semester to transition to college life I will be trying to update my blog more
as well as my different social media accounts to keep everyone informed on
whats happening in the strange (a good strange ;P) life of Alana.
Happy New Year everyone, may
your runs be fun!
-Alana <3
