highlight was running my first marathon and having that wknd also be a large KR/RA gathering. I saw friends I've met before and some new ones that I wasn't sure I'd ever have the opportunity to meet like Aamos and her husband and Holly!

it was also a highlight to run a 2 mile turkey trot race with my son, although he quickly left me in his dust.

December miles = 109

2009 miles = 1873.1, short of my goal of 2,000 but oh well. It is what it is.

No time PR's for me this year, but definitely a PR for master's get togethers and meet ups!

Disney Marathon in January, Boston in April, Rock-n-Roll Seattle in June and Royal Victoria in October all saw first time meetings with many masters/boomers I've been posting with for years, and many reunions with old friends. I hope 2010 is at least as good as 2009 in that respect.

Now... if I can just get off the DL long enough to have a good year of miles and races, that'd sure be cool!!

I'm sure someone will beat this handily, but there seems to be a race on to see who's the anchor for this whole thing, so I'll proudly reset the bar with my lonely

   December: 49.2

(As it is, it's the first month since May that I've actually run at least once in each week.)

  2009:  510  (most of them in the first four months)

Discovery of the year: If you're not going to run outside, a treadmill is better than a 16 lap/mile track. I think putting my long runs in on this track, with all my turns in the same direction all the time, is what caused the ITBS/piriformis that killed my target half and lead to my DNS.
