It was amazing to read so many of the great running accomplishments
that so many of the bloggers have accomplished this year. Whether
it is running 500 miles or 2500 miles I think everyone should be proud
of what they have accomplished.

My stats were a little off for me this year. I ran 1,575.45 miles in
2008 or about 300 miles shy of what I had hoped to accomplish. New
job and raising a 10 yr old has made running more of a challenge this
year.

I met several new runners this year and it was a great year for
running encounters. I met Coach Tammy again, TriSaratops and my new adopted nephew Jackson from Blog land.

My big goal for 2008 is to qualify for Boston at the Twin City Marathon and have the JOR (joy of running sports group) encounter and hopefully have a very large turnout for it. I also have big plans to crash running Amy's wedding and trying to decide on bringing either sheep or goats.

By the way here is a picture of myself and my girlfriend at the Top of the Rockefeller building in New York City.



Enjoy both the day and the year everyone!

Comments:
you're not a wet blanket. I appreciate all the feedback about my marathon plans.... I think I'm gonna stick with FIRST just to see how it goes for me, I have 7 months to "play" before I need to start the actual marathon training plan... the up side is i know the guys that created the plan and i can get some help/tips support, or if it's too hard, move on to something else. Don't necessarily *need* to run sub-30 5k just want to finish a marathon.

Happy New Year to you, You will *so* qualify for Boston!
 
Good luck for Boston, I will watch you in tv running there. On Sky I can see the most important US events. Happy New Year
 
You ran about 72 more than me. I finished with 1503 for the year...not nearly what I had hoped, but oh well. Congrats on doing what you have with all the changes in your life.
 
1,575 WOW !!!
Wishing you many more happy miles this year.
 
What a lovely couple!

Happy New Year and happy running!
 
Ok, too lazy to type out an email...not sure why...but sorry to hear about the leg. Hopefully it heals quickly.
 
People who want to get an invitation to the wedding are seriously going to have to start posting more often than this!

Haha...just kidding....you don't need a stinkin invitation to be a wedding crasher! Really, hope everything is going okay??!!?!
