December Total.....119.45 PR 2007 total ......1027.9 PR

Thanks Mr.Tramps...Enjoy your retirement... Dec. miles-127.7 YTD-1808

Tramps, you've been great! Thank YOU so Much! December totals- 99.4 YTD- 1028.1 Chris

Worst year since I started running in 2002 as I only did around 470 miles ( log screwed by active, leg screwed by achilles ) and only 30 this month due to bad cold. Usually I do around 1000 per year. But the tendon is getting better and the cold has almost gone so really looking forwards to 2008 and to getting to know you all better. To me this forum seems ideal, theres a variety of people and not too many that you can't scroll through all the messages which to me makes it more personal. Also at last I have found something in common with DH, we are the same weight. Now to some serious training as I have a half in March in the Hague ( Holland ) which I understand gets a lot of entries and is flat so hopefully a PB ( currently 1.29.25 ) beckons

Back on CR there was a tradition of posting our running/walking miles for the month on the “Boomer Miles” thread. (You can see the thread from last month here: http://community.active.com/thread/37291?start=105&tstart=100 ) January will be a good time to start new traditions in our new home under new management. But before we do, let’s finish business for 2007! When you are done running for the month, be sure to post: 1. your total mileage for the month (indicate if this was a PR) 2. any race PR’s (include distance and time) 3. your miles for 2007 (Is this a PR for you? Let us know how the running year went for you) NOTE: If you were known by another name at CR, please mention that so I can enter your data properly and so I don't include your previous name on the "wish you were here" list. I'm easily confused. Background for newcomers: At the end of each month, Boomers are required to note how many miles (or kilometers) they have run that month. You must be 40+ years old and run or walk at least 1 mile to be eligible. Sorry, only running and walking numbers are counted. Figuring out a way to incorporate cross-training numbers would cause my head to explode. The deadline is midnight EST on the 2nd of the new month. The numbers are tallied and posted (usually on the 3rd) in a simple analysis that includes various awards, serious and silly. No matter how few or how many miles you have, please post! Every mile is an accomplishment.

Hi Tramps, I was just checking over my log for 2007. I only joined this site in mid-December, so I don't have a "history" here, but here are my answers to your questions. Before I respond, let me say that I am/was NOT a CR habitue. But I -am- qualified to respond, as I'm 56 years of age, and have been running since I turned 40: 1. Total miles for December, 2007: 100.26 -- NOT a PR 2. Two Race PRs this year: Half-Marathon (2:01:45) and 10K (55:32). 3. Total miles for 2007 = 1,049.52. Also not a PR (ran 1,180 miles last year). I was hampered this year by Morton's Neuroma, basically a pinched nerve in my left foot. Apparently I have TWO pinched nerves, since as I've been getting treated for one, another has made itself known. The podiatrist was quite confused by the ultrasound until we started exploring (and getting injections). Besides my 2008 goal of 2,008 kilometers (1248 miles), I hope to run pain-free for the first time in three years! Happy New Year, everyone!

Hi Tramps! Thanks for pulling this together! Dec - 204.0 2007 - 2148.0 ... a PR year in the four that I've been running ...by far! In fact, this may be the best year that I ever run. Lots of PRs, but the highlight was my sub 4-hour marathon in September which helped qualify me for Boston in 2008. I get tired just thinking about the great year of running that I've had! PJ

Tramps, thanks a million for all the effort you have put into these threads. You're the best. What will you do with all your free time at the beginning of each month? This has been a frustrating, injury-ridden year. Didn't come close to the 2400+ miles I ran in 2006. Blew out my AT in August going for a sub-5:00 mile and am still trying to fix it. December: 19.5 miles running 39,100 yards swimming (22.2 miles) Totals for the year: 1145 miles, almost all before 8/17 110.1 miles swimming (huge PR), almost all after 8/17 26.5 hours on the elliptical Maybe the equivalent of ~1800 miles if you convert it all to running. Masters PRs this year at 400m (61.3), 1500m (4:40) and the mile (5:05). Did my first triathlon. The 1500m was my first race with an age-graded score above 80 in over 20 years. Wishing everyone healthy and fleet-footed miles in 2008.
