Hi Tramps, helping to keep the averages down we did the following: Marj-Dec.-92;2007-986 Henrun-Dec.-102;2007-1330.4 And 'countless' miles walking (Boston is a very walkable city).

Thanks Tramps! reading all these posts and numbers keeps my feet going. December miles: 190 2007 miles: 2,396 Masters marathon PR---3:29 at Hartford '07---first time under 3:30 in 20 years and I think it was you Tramps who suggested that PRs can be reclaimed and recalibrated---if that wasn't you, then thanks for the suggestion no less!

Hi Tramps, thanks for doing this another month and finishing us out for the year! I took an easy month and only got in 66 miles - one of my lower months for sure. But I finished off the year by surpassing my goal. DECEMBER TOTAL: 66 miles 2007 TOTAL: 850 miles (PR by default as this is my first consistent year of running) I only made a goal of 800 miles and I really had no idea what to expect as this was my first full year of running. For 2006, I was under 400 for the year (360 or so I think?). It was a good running year for me, as I never experienced the IT pain I had off and on for most of 2006 and I set PR's in every distance I raced, up to a HM. And the nice thing is, my race PR's weren't by default. The PR's came in 2nd and 3rd tries at various distances, so I saw steady improvement during the course of the year. Looking forward to 2008 and reaching new goals!

Tammy

Thanks for doing this again for us. December 07 - 254.9 miles Total 2007 - 3252.6 miles (yearly PR) Summary for 2007 I ran 9 marathons in 7 states and one Canadian Prov. Including marathons on three successive Sunday's, starting with the Lower Potomac River Marathon a PR of 3:21:34 followed by Virginia Beach Shamrock Marathon 3:36:17 and Ocean Drive Marathon 3:36:10, and two in one weekend, North Dakota Roughrider Marathon 3:32:07 and the Montana Marathon 4:15:08. The others were Eugene Marathon (3:41:10) Mary's Birthday Marathon (3:41:00), Royal Victoria Marathon (3:37:28) and the Seattle Marathon (3:49:48). Its been a great year. Having met more boomers than I can even type, although I remeber all of them. I have the pictures to prove they were there even if they deny it. (That way I don't miss anyone)

Each month, I look forward to reading everyone's reports and I really hope someone picks up some version of this thread in 2008. A modest 123 for me this month. Small PR in the half (1:42:17) but, hey, they all count. An excellent year for me overall with 1848 miles (appropriately revolutionary, I suppose). I stayed healthy, ran pretty consistently (with variation in training cycles), and made some progress. What more could I ask for? Big grin

Be safe. Be kind.

Thanks Tramps for doing this. 52 for me this month - finally went over 30. Yah. 509.5 for the year - about half of what I wanted to do. Well, there's next year.

Thanks Tramps for this month's efforts and for the many months of doing this on CR previously. We appreciate it. December 172.6 miles 2007 2040 miles Neither is a PR. No race PR's either. (That'll change in January. I hope!) Bill

Hi Tramps 110.3 miles for December, coincidentally the same as July. Hopefully I can avoid injury.

A measly 904 miles this year, which works out to 17 mpw but its a mighty 1.1% more than 2006. 130 miles planned in January and 120 in February. Happy New Year!

Thanks for your servant spirit Tramp. This thread always keeps me motiviated. This was a fanstastic running year for me. I ran 3 marathons, one half, three trail races, one relay race and two 5ks and...STAYED injury free. December is a PR month with 160 miles. 2007 miles: 1,370. My goal for the year was 1200. Here is wishing to everyone a 2008 with higher achievements. May all your dream times come true. Going the extra mile can lead us to extraordinary achievements.

Again, I am so excited to have found you all again. I was sooo worried I would never see my name on the Honor Roll again. Dec. mile 75 - a PR for 2007 (does that count?) YTD 746. Not great, and down a bit from last year, but at least I'm out there! fussyrunner aka Helen Fussell from CR THANKS TRAMPS!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!
