Since we have a 2015 goal thread I thought we should have a 2014 recap thread. I can't find a 2014 goal thread to revive, so making a new one.
I ended the year setting new PR's in:
5K 27:43 - 21:09
Half-Marathon 1:50:04 - 1:40:01
Marathon 4:49:36 - 4:20:40
I ran a total of 13 races consisting of 2 5k's, 1 4miler, 1 8k, 1 15k, 1 10miler, 6 13.1, 1 26.2.
I ran a total of 1409.28 miles, my highest ever. I ran over 200 miles in November alone, again my highest amount. I also biked 916.73 miles (actually did some biking without my Garmin, so did more).
Comparing to my original 2014 goals I wanted to run 800 miles (hit 1400) and set a new PR in the 5k, HM and Marathon, which I accomplished. I wanted to buy a bike and start riding with doing 250 miles, almost did 4 times that amount. I never tried swimming and doing a Tri, so I might do that this year. Really happy with how my year turned out and looking forward to this year!

Intermediate All Pro version 1. The way it's written is super shitty. The first three big lifts are
1st of the week: 25% of 5RM x 10 reps, 50% x 10, 100% x 5, 75% x 10
2nd of the week: 25% x 10, 50% x 10, 100% x 5 x 3
Accessory lifts:
1st of week: 100% x 8, 50% x 20
2nd of week: 100% x 12, 50% x 20
So, I do big three of Front Squat, Bench and Weighted Pull-Ups. Accessory is Overhead Press, Wide Grip Cable Row, Incline Bench, Bulgarian Split Squat, DB Curls.
I just lift twice a week. If I decide to go crazy and do a third non-soccer workout, I'll start off with some plyo stuff, like Box Jumps (5 sets of 6), cable crunches, Landmines, and Weighted Side lunges. But my soccer performance has vastly improved since I stopped lifting before I play. Shocker. But it's working out better for strength gains and soccer endurance by not doing too much in one day. It was just overkill. Soccer was blunting strength gains, and the lifting was blunting soccer endurance (when the activities were done consecutively).

2014 was pretty epic for me.
- First and second marathon ever, 8 weeks apart; 4:38xx and 4:10:xx respectively.
- First triathlon. Although participating with a severely bruised rib cage, I managed not to finish last. 
- Two half marathons; 1:52:20 and 1:52:40.
- Numerous shorter races, including four 10 milers, with the most recent being a PR of 80:44.

2014-
Top 10 swim in my age group for the 50 free in the pacific masters area (CA + NV)
Well off the pace in the 100 free lol
Finished a half marathon on my feet somewhere near my goal pace (+5 min)
Finished a bunch of sprint tris and started sneaking into the top third of my age group
Still fat but got a little leaner

It doesn't whatsoever. No girl on the street gives a flying fuck what I deadlift.

Cross post from the cycling thread:
3404 was on the bike, the rest was running.
I got myself down to 178 over the summer--a weight I haven't been since the mid-90's. Gained 10 lbs since Halloween from all of the sugar/white flour that comes with that season. Now I'll get back on track.

Ran just under 400 miles, mostly because injury kept me down.
Sucked at weights
I was round about a PR on 5k, and a 10km.
and I completely fell off the wagon by year end.
Here's hoping '15 goes better.

if you ain't making progression in your lifts, you ain't growing...
if you're cool with that, that's fine, but some people actually want to get stronger...
Excuse me?

but doesn't there come a point of diminishing gains?
benching 400 lbs will help you live a healthier longer life than someone that can bench 300?

I see old people who can barely fucking walk, probably lived life to the fullest even though now they look like a human question mark.
And then I see this.
dual hip replacement, worlds strongest pound for pound powerlifter and in his mid fifties.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lGSuoIJOiY
squatting shy of 700lbs in knee sleeves. that add like 0 support to that particular joint.

The thing is, I have two grandparents that lived to be 100 and 101 year old in the mountains in jamaica, they were active into their old age. They weren't rocking back and forth in a chair or bed ridden for months, they were out walking around and still mentally fit until they passed away.
Now I know for a fact they never lifted weights, drank protein or probably ever even heard of a gym before. So now do you correlate bodybuilding to exceptional health?

Well we're in the fitness forum talking about a recap of 2014 and not the Caribbean forum in the how to live with logentivity past 2015 thread.
So with that said I'm not sure what your point is anymore other than to create a discussion that has nothing to do with this topic or forum any longer other than to entertain you at work.
So good day!

Why do you think there are people in here running 100 miles?
Most of us get into a niche because we enjoy it; and continue with it to make incremental improvements. Whether or not there's a diminishing benefit is irrelevant; the motivation to improve will always outweigh the inherent "need" to be active.
