It's time to stop running for a moment and take a look back on the year...
Two 5k's
One 10k
Two 10 milers
One Half-Marathon
Two Marathons
One Fifty Miler
Total mileage: 1,502 (assuming I run my six tomorrow and four on Wednesday)
Of course the numbers don't really tell the story, they're just statistics. The memories from this year will be speed work with the folks from The Running Store, organizing three church teams to run the Army Ten Miler, running the Lumberjack Days 10 miler with Jan and Brian and running Marine Corps with the love of my life Jenny.
I'm not sure where to put the JFK 50 on the list of memories. It may be a once in a lifetime moment but then again it may not be, but the camaraderie and joy in this event will be hard to beat.
In spite of all the technical gear that is now available in this sport it still boils down to putting one foot in front of the other and that's what I enjoy most.
