1460 - And a year of running

Day 365 - December 31, 2009

I'm not going to lie - I enjoyed every stride of my run today. I was grinning ear to ear and counting the miles as I approached 1460 for the year. Yesterday, I was still a little nervous. If you followed my first attempt at 1000 days, you may remember that I got a horrible 24 hour virus on day 365 and failed to get in a run that day. I was so afraid that every sniffle and stomach gurgle was going to do me in yesterday.

But, I made it and now I officially qualify for the United States Running Streak Association membership and listing. I'll be sending my membership application in ASAP!

So, here are the totals for 2009:

Days Run: 365
Total Miles: 1460
Total Time: 189:05:56
Average Pace: 7:46

I hope everyone had a great 2009 and best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year 2010! Thank you to everyone who followed along this year, posted comments, and offered their support. I hope you'll be back in 2010 as I work towards 730 and on to 1000!

Heading out for 365

This is it - once I get out the door, this will officially be my longest streak ever! Three miles to 1460!

Another good run

Day 363 - December 29, 2009

Cranked out another 7 miles today - that leaves just 7 more to 1460! It took me a few miles to warm up, but the last 4 felt great.

3 days to 365

Day 362 - December 28, 2009

With three days to go, 1460 is only 14 miles away! When I make it, I'll have to raise the bar for 2010.

Merry Christmas

Day 359 - December 25, 2009

Just a quick note after my Christmas morning 2 mile run. I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season and are able to find time to burn off a few of those Christmas Cheer calories. Thanks for following along this year and for all the encouragement. Eight more days to close out the year and start year two of the streak.
