I always look forward to this thread every month - thanks, Tramps for your time and effort. December miles: 100.5. My fifth month over 100 miles in 2007. 2007 total: 960.1. A PR over 2006, which was 761.5 miles. I only started tracking my running in Jan 2006. 1000 miles should be well within reach for 2008.

Just did my final 4 miles of the month/year, so can chime in here: December: 80.6 (2nd longest month of the year -- go figger) 2007: 802.7 running, 590 cycling, and I'll certainly beat both of those numbers in 2008!

Tramps, Thanks from me too. Not just for all your hard work, but for handling this in a way that's encouraging & inspiring to everyone, regardless of what we have to post. I couldn't have done it without your personal invitation to the newbies after we invaded B&B... So. to stop beating around the bush. 5.5 running miles for December. 4.7 recorded walking. 427.33 running for the year, 48.5 recorded walking. I was sick for the first 3 months of this year, then pulled a hamstring Oct.2, still trying to fix that. At least I'm symmetrical Wink

. Just look at all the room there is for improvement! Big grin

. Looking forward to next year; I'll try to do it right this time. congratulations to everyone of you. eta. translate to dg9. thanks.

Hi y'all and thanks Tramp for starting this nice thread. December: 134 (down from taper and reverse taper) 2007: 1850 2007 Rookie-Accomplishments: I ran every distance in state rankings.(1M - Marathon) I ran 20 races and placed in 16 (Overall-3; Masters-9; AG-4). I lowered 5k PR 9 times from 22:20 in Feb. to 18:22 in Nov. I broke 40 in the 10k on third try. I broke a 27 y.o. PR in the 10 mile by 2:52. I broke a 27 y.o. PR in the Half M by 6:52. I ran my first marathon and qualified for Boston, as an 18 y.o.. I won my hometown race, The Harvest Moon 10k. I won more money and gift-cards than I deserve. I lost 17 lbs since 1/1; 40 lbs since starting running 10/1/06. And I've met new people and made new friends...priceless! To God be the glory.

Again, thanks Tramps for all your work, this monthly thread has always been one of the best. Dec miles: 91.1 2007 miles: 1028.0 This has been a great injury free year for me, with PR's in the 5K (23:19, Oct) and HM (1:52:12, Dec). I have learned so much from the CR bunch, and I am happy that the community seems to have come back together. Best wishes, and a wonderful new year to you all. huskydon

Tramps, Couldn't let the year close out and not contribute to your last installment. Caps off to you, friend for all your work and inspiration here, and to all of those we've shared miles and trials with over the past year. Thanks. My December was a mess for various reasons. you could almost plug in any random number since I ran a lot of sanity miles this month without time or measurement devices. 90 is all I can legitimately prove though - so that's what we'll call it. Put me down for 2008.8392 for the year. WRFB will vouch for me Aija Oh yeah and PRs in the half, 10km and a master's PR in the 5km Cheers

Thanks Tramps, I ran my first marathon this year despite a couple of setbacks...an operation (with 3 months recovery) in the first quarter of the year and an injury in the fall. My mileage as expected was lower than my 2000 miles last year but I'm gererally pleased that I got through everything and am looking forward to 2008. December = 115.4 miles 2007 YTD = 1637.4 miles
