2024 and 2025 recaps

 Every year since I started this blog I've done a recap of the previous year.  The last couple years, the recaps have been mainly about how much I sucked at running.  Actually, looking at last year's posts, it doesn't look like I did a recap.  It looks like my last recap was for 2023.  I didn't run a ton in 2025, but I tried.  I have historically liked having the recap so I can look back and see what I did running wise, but it has felt a little pointless the last few years since I haven't been running as much.  But I like it, so I'm going to do it for 2025, even though I'm late with the recap.  

Maybe I will try to do both a 2024 and 2025 recap hybrid thing.  I do like to see the progress I made or didn't make.  

I got an indoor spin bike but I'm not going to include those miles. Looking back at my posts, I never mentioned I got a spin bike. I think I got it in either December 2024 or January 2025.

January 2024:  I ran 16.05 miles, a very pathetic month
                         I walked 17.95 miles
                         For a total of 34 miles on my feet
              2025:  I ran 27.09 miles.
                         I walked 1 mile
                         for a total of 28.09 miles on my feet.

2025

No pictures in 2024 or 2025 of me running so here's the flooded road, that really sums up December 2025 anyway. This is before it got really bad. Actually, now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure I was on a run when I took this picture.

2024: Run total miles - 194.56
          Walk total miles - 170.35
          Total miles - 364.94

2025: Run total miles - 347.21
          Walk total miles - 63.33
          Total miles - 410.54

Obviously I ran more in 2025 than in 2024 and I walked more in 2024.  I actually really liked doing it this way with adding mileage in 2025.  I've compared years before, but never like this.  2023, at the time, was my least amount of mileage for a year.  I had 391 miles that year, walking and running.  I didn't even calculate the run miles vs the walk miles, but obviously 2024 was worse. 

So do I have any goals for 2026? I want to get back down to 150 or lower in my weight, the pills are helping with that.  I would like to run more and I definitely want to increase the weight I'm lifting in pilates.  That is the only thing I'm not really tracking.  Maybe I should do a post on pilates and how often I did it.  I know that I slacked quite a bit in 2025, I lost a lot of motivation to get up in the morning.  Thankfully my sister was willing to adjust the time and do it at her work at 8am.

  1. I don't run as much as I used to either. But I do try to get walking in. I also use my Total Gym. I know at my age, I need to get resistance in. Losing weight is tough as we age. Especially after menopause. 2026 is my year to get to goal & be as healthy as possible.
