Can you believe that we are talking about the end of 2013? Crazy. Seems like just yesterday I announced that me and Tiffany were teaming up to bring you @RunThisYear with a silly video, a goal to run the year in miles… 2,013 miles that is. How did you do? I know that I will fall short this year and finish just above 1,600 miles, which is far short of my goal, but 200 miles over what I did in 2012.
But the good thing is that I took on the challenge and even though I won’t reach it, I improved upon last year and feel stronger. Who knows what 2014 will hold…
THE BIG FINALE
That’s right. @runninghutch and I are going out with a bang! There is a good chance that I won’t be able to play as large of a role in the @RunThisYear challenge in 2014, but will still help spread the love and participate in some of the challenges. We’re still trying to figure out what 2014 will hold for me and Tiffany, but we’d love for you to help out by taking part IN THIS FEEDBACK SURVEY (also at the bottom).

What an amazing giveaway! I love that you guys teamed up to do this challenge and giveaway! It has been fun to follow people along the journey. I definitely hit 2013 miles, but only 800 of them were running (the others were biking and swimming). Thanks for doing such a great giveaway. Here’s to a great 2014!
how does this work please?
I’m a new “runner” but I’d be interested in learning more about Run This Year 2014!
I will definitely be signing up for 2014!
I set a goal to run 3000 if I could while maintaining strength and I DID! clocked in this week at 3032
What an awesome giveaway!
Wow incredible prizes!! I started following you on Instagram, and you have rely helped motivate me. I have never kept track of my yearly miles—this might be a great challenge for the coming year….it’s worth a shot, right????
That’s a great challenge! I don’t know if I could get in that many miles, but I could try!
You guys actually inspired me, at the beginning of 2013, to track my milage for the entire year. I think I may hit 1200!
Thank you for an awesome year. Even after I got injured I still felt like I was racing in spirit with you thru your candid photos
Recovering from torn achilles surgery lady week…will be watching the site for inspiration!!!
Great prizes.This is a fantastic giveaway.
I didn’t quite make the 2013 in 2013, I will finish up around 1,800 +/- a few, the dratted injury bug got me. Will try again in 2014 for 2014. Great motivator
Woooooah awesome giveaway! To be honest, I don’t know how many miles I ran this year (which is even a little shocking to me, because I am normally all about tracking things!) but it was lots and I’m hoping many more in the new year! :)
I want to be a part next year! I only made half my goal this year due to a broken ankle, but I’m more than ready for 2014!
Awesome giveaway! I went about 375 miles this year, which is about 350 more than the year before!
once baby itz is born and i get the all clear from the doc, i def hope to be running this year again!!!
I hit 600 miles this year … which I will take since I was preggo for most of it! I am hoping to hit more in 2014!
Marathon training definitely put me over the 500 mile mark for this year. I’m hoping to run even more next year!
http://jax-and-jewels.blogspot.com
I would totally go in on this! I started tracking my miles in July, and will hit about 300 for 2013.
I’d totally participate! I’m over 700m for the year!
I missed out on the 2013 challenge, but I’m definitely interested in learning more about 2014 Run This Year. As of December 15, I hit 1,553 miles, already 200 more miles than I did in 2012!
I didn’t know about this challenge until the last month, but had actually set a personal goal of running 2,000 miles this year. Right now I’m stuck at 1,982 with an injury. so close!
2013 was the year I started to get back to living a healthy life. Thanks for your help.
Totally a great idea for a contest! I’ll be sure to track my miles next year!
I’d love to participate in Run This Year 2014!
I would love to participate this year!
I would love to participate in 2014!
I would love to participate this year!
I am just shy of my goal of 1000 miles for 2013 – unfortunately with a non-running related injury I’m probably not going to make it but I’m still really happy with what I have achieved this year. I love seeing all your instagram posts and I hope to meet you at RnRAZ in Jan!
This is a awesome giveaway! Thank you for keeping us inspired!
This is awesome! I’m going to participate in 2014!
I will definitely do this challenge for 2014!
This is a great giveaway and thank you for being a huge inspiration this year. I ran over 500 miles this year and 2 half marathons. This is up from 2012 in which I probably only ran 20 miles.
I didn’t formally participate in 2013 but I’d LOVE to in 2014!
Same here. Looking forward to 2014. Logged 1065 miles so far this year
I followed along with Run This Year 2013 (though I didn’t formally participate) and it helped motivate me! I ran more miles this year (600) despite getting nowhere near 2,013 miles. I’d follow along again!
I didn’t officially sign up for 2013 but did meet my goal of running over 1000 miles in 2013 :) I’d love to sign up for 2014!
I’d be totally interested…
I’m not sure how many miles I ran last year… I know it was less then normal with the injured back… & I’m too lazy to go look so I just stuck with the 100 miles.
I didn’t sign up for 2013 but should have. i came pretty close to the goal! I think I better sign up for 2014 for sure
I love this challenge. Will be in for 2014.
Such an inspiring challenge the whole running community can rally behind! I ran more miles this year than I ever have before
Holy JAMOLE!! I am surprised you’re not giving away a UNICORN or a BEAR WITH WINGS!!! ;)
What a great giveaway! I would love to give it a try in 2014!
This is a GREAT chance to up my miles – I’m in!
I probably wouldn’t 2014 miles in 2014 but I sure would still run my heart out anyways!
I might not get to 2,014 miles, but I’d like to top my 2013 mileage.
All this loot is awesome!
I would like to but I know my body cannot do 2014 miles at this time.
Wow! What an amazing giveaway!
So far, I’ve run 939 miles, and will get to 1000 by the end of the year!
What a great giveaway I would love to win! Great blog as well!
2014 miles!?! That’s quite a feat! In my dreams, I could maybe run what I can’t in real life. ;) Still, the giveaway is awesome and there are quite a few prizes I’d be a happy runner to have! Thanks for putting it all together, and best of luck to you, B, in 2014!
Wow some awesome giveaways! To date I have ran 3266 miles in 2013. I am hoping top get around the 3400 mark by the end of the year.
Wow, what an incredible giveaway! thanks so much for hosting! I’m well over 1000 miles this year but haven’t tallied anything up yet
Fun giveaway! Yep! Interested in participating in 2014 and stepping up my game! Happy Holidays!
Side note – I think I entered in my miles wrong as it only shows 500 miles. I ran more. I am not to concerned with entries, but I just want you to know I ran more in case you were wondering! ;P
Gotcha! You should be able to go back to the widget now and enter in more miles.
I loved the challenge and look forward to more miles in 2014
Awesome giveaway! Thanks so much for putting it on! I’m excited to join in 2014.
Great job! I didn’t #runthisyear and I won’t be aiming for nearly those miles next year, but it’s good to have goals!
Gonna give it a try but won’t be upset if I don’t make the goal.
The odds of hitting 2014 would be crazy, more than double this year for me, but I’d play along ;)
What a generous man and companies! Thanks so much for the giveaway! Awesome stuff.
What a crazy year it has been. I am not sure how many miles I ran, I always mess up the conversion from km to miles. But lets just call it a lot!
Just found you via @darwinianfail! What awesome prizes!
And didn’t get to add that I didn’t quite participate in your event but I ran 2013 and just barely squeaked in at the 500 mile mark for the year! I may hit 600 before 2014 rings in!
I didnt know about 2013 but I’d totally participate in 2014!
I would participate!
Think a #SA2LV-er needs to win something… ;). Pegasus for Peggy
Great year and wonderful end of year incentives. I didn’t come close but I aimed for it.
With two small kids, it’s hard for me to find that much time to run to get anywhere near the year in miles. Last year I did 350 miles, so my goal for this year was 500 miles. I actually hit that in late September and have passed 600 on the year so far. I think next year my goal will be to average over 2 miles per day with 730+. It’s not 2,014 miles, but I’m getting there.
I ran 1,048 miles so far this year. I’m not sure if I can run 2014 next year, but I can try! I definitely want to run more miles next year than in 2013.
This is such a great giveaway! Love that the two of you have teamed up to do this for your readers. I honestly don’t even know how many miles I’ve logged this year. I just started back to running after a 3 year hiatus and incurred some injury over the summer so I wasn’t as diligent at keeping track as I should have been. I know I have come really close to 1,000 miles if I had to guesstimate. I am definitely signing up for the 2014 challenge. Love the body buffer too by the way. I’m a mountain of muscle soreness some days and this would be a great reliever as well as help my dry winter skin.
Great giveaway. I ran 1350 miles in 2013, wanted 1500, but hurt my ancle
I participated – and I am going to make it just over 2,013 miles!!!
This year was the most mileage I’ve ever logged, and would love to participate in another mileage challenge next year!
Yay, I hit 1000k today! I’m proud of myself and hope to log in more miles next year. I’m starting out right with a half-marathon in late January and another that I intend to run in April. I would love to continue the mileage challenge with all of you next year.
This was a big year for me. My new year’s resolution was to do a 5K, and I ended up doing 2 5Ks, a 10K, and a half marathon. I don’t track my mileage, but I’m guessing 200 is fair.
Wow, this is an amazing giveaway! Heck yes I’m entering my little ‘ol self! I don’t have my total mileage on hand :/ But on my Nike+ running app, I’ve logged 548 miles :) I still need my Garmin miles too!
Thanks to ALL the vendors for the giveaway goodies! And a special shout out to #4 :)
Great giveaway! I’m always up for a challenge!
I would definitely be down for running part of it, but perhaps not a chunk of it and definitely not that amount of miles.
I wasn’t able to get in 2013 miles this year. Maybe next year!
My 2014 goals are to complete 2 marathons.
I’m not sure if I’ll participate in the 2014 challenge but I’ll probably lurk/follow it the same way I did the 2013. It’s way too easy for me to succumb to the mileage monster/lure of the log and make unwise choices – I did that once this year and derailed my November marathon but have been fortunate in being able to come back relatively quickly to some reasonable mileage, but still working on rehab and increasing it as I’m in training now for a mid-March marathon.
And for 2013, so far, 2642 miles – with 2 weeks left to add more!
I started late in the year for 2013! Started with a Spartan Race Sprint, which propelled me to complete the Color Run, Dawn of the Dead Dash, Turkey Trots (2), the Honolulu Marathon (my first marathon!) and ending the year with the Jingle Rock Run for Make-a-Wish foundation. All these runs that are part of my training for the upcoming Spartan Races and a half marathon in 2014! For 2014, since there are runs already lined up, I am looking forward to learning more about training and running “smart” :) Thanks so much for all that you are doing!
What an awesome giveaway! I always enjoy your posts and pics, very inspirational! I just hit 600 miles for 2013 and I am very happy with that. I am interested in 2014….
I don’t know that 2014 miles are happening for me, but I will be a cheerleader to all of you that are going to do it.
Awesome! I ran approx 1200 in 2013….but was pregnant for half of the year! So I think that is still pretty kick butt. Hoping to hit at least 1800 in 2014! But of course, would love to reach 2014
Wow, amazing giveaway! would love any of these. I ran 1756 miles so far this year. Going to shoot for 2014 next year. I also have run at least mile everyday for the past 391 days.
I would participate in Run This Year 2014. I don’t think I learned about 2013 until too far into the year. So yes to next year!
I’d definitely be interested in the 2014 challenge!
I know I ran at least 900 miles this year since I’ve gone through 3 pairs of shoes and they last around 300ish for me.
Thanks for the give away (and Congrats on CIM!!!).
There’s no way I can run 2014 miles next year…I’m working on a slow rebuild, but I look forward to reading about other people’s experiences in the challenge! It’d be awesome to win a prize in this huge giveaway!
What a great idea – and some great prizes! Love the blog.
I would totally participate!
I will definitely participate!
There’s no way I could run 2,014 miles in a year. I was however, surprised when I checked my Garmin account and found out I ran 600 miles this year :)
I might be interested in 2014 miles! Or at least setting a bigger goal.
actually i don’t think did run in a race this year, but i sherpa’d MANY!!!!!
I would definitely participate!
Im not familiar with run this year but Im definitely interested
Wow what an awesome giveaway! I fought through injury this whole year and still ended up completing my first marathon! Next year is the year to stay injury free and get some PR’s!!
I set my goal to 500 km this year and ended up with 540 km + 350 km of hiking. Can’t wait for 2014 :-)
I’d definitely participate next year!
I would participate; sounds like fun and such an accomplishment!
This is an epic giveaway! I’m looking forward to running my second marathon in 2014 :)
I would love to participate in Run this Year 2014. It’d be a fantastic goal!
Having just found this blog late in the year I didn’t get to experience Run This Year in full. 2014 sounds interesting. At some point the “run the year in miles” thing becomes unsustainable. It would also make sense to maybe do tiers for beginners, intermediate, and advanced.
what a great giveaway! I’d love to participate in RunThisYear2014.
What an awesome giveaway! Thanks to both of you. I didn’t keep track of my miles but I know it was more than 2012 so that’s a bonus. Here’s to a strong 2014 for everyone.
I definitely am going to try to participate in run this year 14
Would love to participate in 2014!
I’d love to find out more!
What an awesome giveaway! Just really started running this year and have never thought about tracking my overall yearly miles! What a great idea!!!
i’m already planning my 2,014 miles!
What a great giveaway!! Already looking forward to a new goal next year!
I would love to run this year 2014!
Thanks for the amazing giveaway. I don’t think I could run 2014 next year. Took me 2 years to get just over 1000 miles! But definitely something to consider in future years.
I don’t know that I can run 2014 next year, but I definitely plan on setting a mileage goal for the year so I don’t slack off after I finish training for my first half marathon! – Jess
love all of these companies! what an awesome giveaway!
i am new to running but definitely interested!
I’m about 50 miles from reaching 2013. I don’t think I’ll do 2014 though. It worked ok for awhile, but I found that I could not do speed & high mileage this year. Now that I’ve about to hit 2013, I’m ready to kick that down & focus on speed again. I BQ’d early in the year, but don’t think I could now to save me. Looking to lower that BQ even more. I AM SO GRATEFUL for this challenge. Maybe I took it too seriously but it kept me going and I’m running way more than I ever have!!
Yes, I just may!
Thank goodness there is still time for me to enter this giveaway!
There is a reason it is called a challenge. I might just give it a go.
Great giveaway! Fingers crossed!
I’d be interested in participating.
Wows! Great giveaway! Not sure if I’m eligible or not – but I sure hope I am!
What an amazing prize package!!!! I started running in April and I’ll hit 800 miles on Sunday!!!
2,013 miles done! Thanks
1134 miles so far this year with 4 days to go. Bad fall this summer had me sit out for 2 months, but I am on board for 2014.
I would love to win this awesome giveaway. I was sidelined by a small surgery this year but still managed to log almost 1000 miles. I probably hit over 1000 but I know I didn’t log them all. I was lazy with my logging. My resolution for 2014 is to be more diligent with that!
I’ve got just a few to round out 200 miles for december (usually my worst month!!) I love following the blog and am excited to see what you guys roll out in 2014! :)
your blog is so inspirational to a new runner like myself!
Really looking forward to Run This Year 2014. I’ve run 1120 miles in 2013 and will be looking to improve next year
I just recently joined the online running community so I didn’t know about this challenge but I’m looking forward to 2014!
I just started running in March this year and I AM ADDICTED!! It’s such a great way to be healthy!! I’ve ran 279.5 miles!!!
Hmmm…this is the first I’ve heard of this challenge! I’m intrigued…but I don’t know…
Awesome Awesome Give away! Looking forward to a stronger 2014!
I would participate in RunThisYear 2014, although I know I won’t get close to that mileage. Maybe half?
That’s a lot of giveaways!
I’ll be hitting 2013 miles today, just in the nick of time :)
I’m hooked and In for 2014!
Excited to check this out– I know i ran about 550 since May! Love running
Thanks for the awesome year and great giveaways!
