Life – Sold my first house, bought another, went for a hike with a girl in May and still go on them regularly with her (we even do sleepovers sometimes!), lost a job after ten years, got a new job, happily bid farewell to my last client, became comfortable on a snowboard, exercised every day of the year, and did a bunch of bicycles.

Travel – Snowboarding trip with the college guys (January), a weekend in a freezing cold cabin on Mount Hood (March), wine weekend in California (April), a few days in Boulder to bid farewell to my old company with the old coworkers (April), DC for Race for Hope and VA Beach to visit friends (May), camping cycling weekend at McKenzie River (June), annual rafting weekend in White Salmon (June), camping weekend at Stub Stewart (June), weekend in Bend for road bike racing (July), long drive to and weekend in Tahoe for mountain bike racing, (July), week in Leadville for mountain bike racing (August), B&B weekend in Hood River (October), weekend in Bend for cyclocross (October), week in North Carolina for Christmas (December).

Cycling – I’ve already written all there is about cycling. Ended the year with 8,005 miles. +24.5% over last year. 2,552 of that was on the trainer. Sorry, haters, that’s still 5,453 outdoors.

Running – Ran 6x more than I did last year (74 vs. 12 miles), but it was mostly at the end of the year and those numbers are laughable. Still managed to eke out an 18:28 5k.

Hiking – She’s all about this so I had to step up my game big time, which I wanted to do anyway. 6.2 hours last year was crushed by 26.2 this year. Up to Tilly Jane, The Flatirons, a first date in Forest Park, Elk Mountain, coordinated a group hike up Mt. St. Helens, made it halfwayup Mt. Adams, Dog Mountain, and Hamilton Mountain.

Health – Yearly average weight was more or less the same as last year (168.8 v. 169.1). Burned 435,095 calories – 26.6% more than last. I think that means my body composition should be much better? Haven’t been tracking it. Maybe I should. I think I look more fit.

Books – Read 25. Absolutely loved Modern Romance and Dreamland. I Love You, Michael Collins was the surprise of the year.

TV and Movies – Netflix has gone full idiot with their rating system so it’s hard to look back on the year and gather any real data. I can’t recall really loving anything. Ozark and The Great British Baking Show (spoiler alert!) got some pretty solid attention.

Losses – Lost two former coworkers unexpectedly. Both young men. One was in the “friend” zone. Most “gentle” (shut up, peanut gallery) guy I’ve ever met. He’ll be missed.

Next Year – How about a little bit more of everything? A good bit more running, a tiny bit more riding, some swimming, Mount Adams will be conquered, an upgrade to Cat 3 on the road (seriously, why does this elude me?). Aiming for same number of books because it’s not feasible to do more of everything forever.
