Invincible---setting a half-marathon PR in the heat of July on a hilly course in Colorado Springs!

Not invincible (and in fact humble)--bonking in the Top of Utah Marathon and walking A LOT

SO true! My goodness, I have had incredible runs/workouts where I feel the sky is the limit! Others where I feel defeated, but isn't that what life is all about?! Perfect post for the end of 2011! Happy New Year and here's hoping 2012 brings you LOTS of joy and accomplishments! You certainly inspire ME!

invincible - ran for 2 years without an injury & ran the furthest I've ran before (16 miles)!

not so invincible - came down with an achilles injury that put me out for 2 months then topped it off with a high risk pregnancy (still no running)

I love this post Christy! you are really special. I sometimes think that I'll never be able to achieve some of the running goals I have laid out for me....including completing a full marathon. However I love the idea that maybe I will be able to :)

I don't know if I'v ever felt invincible....looking forward to the feeling

I have felt less than invincible too many times this year. Next year is gonna be so much better health-wise!

I am happy that you had such a wonderful year.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful 2012.

Great post.
I felt invincible during the half Ironman. Even though it was hot and things weren't going my way, I was still moving forward and still got a PR to go with my bee sting. heehee
Bad stomach pain sidelined me in the spring and summer making most runs miserable. I didn't feel so invincible then, but it made me tough.

You probably could have guessed this, but I felt a...

You probably could have guessed this, but I felt absolutely invincible during my 3:30:41 Rehoboth Beach marathon, after mile 20!

I have mostly not felt invincible this year, but plan to turn that around for next year when I will be invincible lots and lots!

I felt invincible almost all of May and June and also during a 12 hour endurance run in September. In May and June I set my 5k PR 3 times (twice in 3 days after racing a grueling 1/2 Mary 3 days before the first). At the endurance run I was hoping to do 25 and finished with 35! Mentally I wanted to keep going but finally realized my body was done! I had broken my distance PR by 12 miles!!

Ha! That was 6-8 not 68 :)

Great post! I didn't feel invincible at all when I had to hobble home after I injured myself last winter training for Boston, but sure felt great breaking 20 in the 5k about 68 weeks after the marathon!

Happy New Year to you!!
