Me, 2022: 3044.2 mi @ 9:42 min/mi pace. Races: one 10k, one 5 mi, one 8k, six 5ks. Goal that happened: got 4th consecutive 3000-mi year (6th total) Goal that didn't happen: sub-20 min 5k ... instead, got even further away (doh!) Wasn't a goal but glad it happened: won Ed Barron Holiday Series 50-59 F category (third consecutive year) Home/auto DIYs of which I'm proud (single F; my previous go-to handyman now in jail. That fact is unrelated to me, I should add.): replace toilet fill valve (yes!!!), reinstall pulled-out towel bar, remove car stereo-system fuse to prevent malfunctioning CD player from draining battery, replace the trunk-lid lifters on my station wagon so I could stop holding the trunk open with my head. Not even close to RPs welding festival, but I was proud. Happy New Year's Eve!

Hi CH, a bit late, here, but congrats on the 4th consecutive year of 3000 miles! That's a super solid base. Also congrats on the Holiday Series win and all the DIY projects successfully accomplished! I still have to change a bunch of my outlets to GFI outlets (it's been like 2 months), and don't even get me started on my lack of car knowledge, so I'm super impressed.
Qualifications: I like to run. In Florida. In the summer. At noon.
Last race: Philadelphia Marathon Nov. 19. Great race conditions, though not personally. Eked out a sub 3:30 and a PR.
