Yep, I've ran over 500 miles for 2008. I did this in 11 months and it took me 3 pairs of shoes and countless bottles of water. Total stats though November are
504.6 miles in 162:33:56 (that's 6 Days & 18 Hours).
November was my longest month so far 77 miles.
Some of those miles were with Sarah Jane, with Albany Run Walk group, but most of it was just me and my ipod. I can remember some of my favorite runs along the beach in the summer and under the full moon thru the neighborhood. I can remember wanting to quit, throw up, and die. I can remember getting chase by dogs & seeing the sun rise. I've been rained on and sunburned. I've solved a lot of my problems while out there on the streets and said a lot of prayers.
I've ran farther than I ever thought I would this year. I've did my first Marathon and my first Half Ironman. I set new personal best times and have had races that I could have done better. I won races with Sarah Jane and even got to see her do her first triathlon.
Even though I have not won every race I've had a good year. I may not have always had a smile on my face but I'm proud of the work I've done. Who knows how far and how fast I'll go next year. I just thank God that I've been health enough to be able to run.
See you at the Finish Line.

even though you cheated, you beat me in the race back to the "base" while playing hide-n-go-seek in the park behind Nana's house...
so that could count as a race that you won this year... but I'll win next year...
damn, you are sexy.
