highlights:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We ran a <a href=\"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/2015\/12\/02\/space-coast-marathon-time-on-feet-record\/\" target=\"_blank\">marathon in Florida<\/a>.\u00a0 And then had a little mini vacation.\u00a0 Zliten avenged missing 2014 due to injury.<\/li>\n<li>We celebrated <a href=\"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/2015\/12\/23\/tradition\/\" target=\"_blank\">Christmas<\/a> with both sets of parents in town for the first time.<\/li>\n<li>We ran a <a href=\"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/2016\/03\/07\/the-woodlands-marathon\/\"

organized some of the house, and enjoyed being people for a few months.<\/li>\n<li>We went on a <a href=\"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/2016\/05\/25\/liberty-of-the-seas\/\" target=\"_blank\">cruise to Roatan, Belize, and Cozumel<\/a>, notching one more new diving spot (Roatan).<\/li>\n<li>We had an incident happen at work, and it really shook us to <a

Coaching program as well as learning about social media and marketing (upcoming post is upcoming).\u00a0 Zliten is getting into app developing and learning a lot there as well.<\/li>\n<li>We joined <a

I&#8217;ve cycled outside more this year than I probably have every other year since 2009 when I got my bike combined.<\/li>\n<li>We completed the <a href=\"https:\/\/pureaustin.com\/events\/quarry-distance-swim-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\">Swim Distance Challenge<\/a>, which culminated in 6 laps (4500m) of open water swimming.<\/li>\n<li>We went to Colorado and <a href=\"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/2016\/08\/30\/coloradoadventure-part-1-denver-and-grand-junction\/\" target=\"_blank\">climbed mountains<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/adjustedreality.com\/blog\/2016\/09\/02\/coloradoadventure-part-2-hanging-lake-boulder-and-denver-again\/\" target=\"_blank\">rode on dirt<\/a> and ate all the foods.<\/li>\n<li>We did
