2008 in review

It has been along time since I have posted anything on here. I hope to get back to posting every day or atleast every day that I run. So I thought I would take this time to look back on 2008.

Total miles = 221.3 miles (recorded on my Forerunner) probably another 30-40 miles with it

***Not too bad for a guy who didn't care about running before April. This total would have been probably double that if I would not have strained my LCL in August.

Races entered = 5 total (all 5K races)
Strawberry Stride (Portland)- 28:50 (1st 5K race)
Hendersonville Classic - 27:48
Ellie's Run for Africa - 28:15 (1st cross country 5K)
Independence Day 5K (White House) - 25:23 (1st award - 3rd in my age group)
Garden Spot 5K (Franklin, KY) - 23:33 (PR for 5K)

My longest run for 2008 was 10.37 miles in 1:39:28

All of my training runs were around my house and most of them were alone. I ran with Rich and Mickey about 8 times or so.


I hope to run atleast 500 miles this year. If I stay healthy, I would like to make 750-1000 miles. I plan on running atleast 1 marathon this year and as many 1/2 marathons that I can (probably 3 right off the top of my head). I would like to run atleast a 5K a month after April. I run for the t-shirts!!!!! HEHEHE

I hope to blog tomorrow about my 1st 3 runs of 2009 and how I am feeling. But until then, I am off to bed. I have to start getting in bed early to be able to get up at 5am to run.

Later
