Congrats! I'll hit it next year (hopefully close to 1500). I see you're in the Seattle area. I'm in south Everett (Silverlake).

Often injured, NEVER giving up.

minimum goal 1200 (100 mpm) for 2010, hopefully closer to 1400-1500 (120 mpm)

srl: know Duvall well, used to have a business there, run quite often on the river trail. ran the Duvall Days 5k in 2008 on a whim, which is what I credit as motivation to begin my over 50 "new" running career. bet you miss running all them hills around town.

No, I live in Seattle now. Trust me, I have lots of hills to keep me entertained!

(I totally miss my big nice, circa-modern house though)

feels goooood, so good in fact went out & ran another 8 this am. 150 short is still good, gives you extra motivation for next yr!!! right??

srl: yeah guess you don't have a chance to "miss" those Duvall hills. Great little town but Seattle of course is a also a great "little" town ( by chicago, or NY standards anyway)

Great job. I will be thrilled if I can meet you at 1000 miles/yr . My first year in and I am making progress and improving my family life. One of the best things to have happened to me.

Congrats. This was my first 100 mile year, too. I'm actually going to hit about 1300. I'm planning on 1500+ for next year as long as I stay healthy.

Congrats! I won't get 1000 this year (broke 900 yesterday) but I started late and I'm a lot slower than you. Wink

it's not how fast you are that is important, but consistency. I also started out slow because of injury at beginning of year. You'll get there next year.

climbmda: sounds like a challenge. let's encourage each other to that 1500 mark for 2010 (w/o the injury bug though)

John: min goal 1200 (100 mpm) but would like to reach 1400-1500
