Once again, Heather leads off our “Best Photos” of the year.
“Breaking trail as we skied into a backcountry yurt on Cameron Pass in Colorado. This was my first yurt trip but definitely not my last; the beauty of the mountains in the winter is surreal!”

Thought my marathon would be the best moment of the year, but it just didn’t turn out how I expected. Hiking the weekend after, I realized life has much bigger things in store, and a race is just a race. But my experiences in CA and adventures I take advantage of here mean so much more in the long-run. http://dietitianontherun.com
Running in one of my favourite places, the Vancouver Sea Wall. http://eat-spin-run-repeat.com

The morning after the ZOOMA Napa Valley half marathon, I went for a shakeout run in the neighborhood around my hotel. I stumbled upon a park with beautiful trails made only more so by the hobbyists floating their colorful hot air balloons in the sky. Healthystrides.blogspot.com
We did the Yonge St 10k as a family. 2014 will probably be the last year we can run with the stroller… http://ironrogue.blogspot.com
Where has your run taken you? #RunReal http://johnstasulli.wordpress.com/
The one race that wasn’t about time or pushing myself in 2014. Colour Me Rad in Calgary, last June, was strictly about having fun with some of my friends. #NailedIt http://www.kaellaontherun.com

Out of all the amazing running, camping, hiking, and family memories of 2014… I would have to say my FAVORITE 2014 memory is running a local 5K race WITH all my boys! It was our first family 5K. My heart was (and is) full. www.runningrachel.com

Helping Jodi cross the finish line of her first marathon in Honolulu will stay with me forever! http://www.runtothefinish.com

My Favorite moment of the year was running as a relay for the first time at Door County’s Fall 50. This is such an amazing race. http://sweetandsavorybysarah.blogspot.com
