310 miles bringing 2015 to a close
2015 was a mostly good year for this runner. I started the year off well with the Mississippi Blues Half Marathon in Jackson Mississippi. I ran a second Half Marathon in March in Mercer Island Washington. Then things went bad. My second metatarsal in my left foot broke during the race and I ended up shutting down running for about 3 months. Six of the weeks were in a boot. That's the bad news. The good news is the bone has healed and going into 2016 I'm feeling good about my running. With the two half marathons in 2015 I have now completed a half marathon (or full) in 12 different states. Last year I also completed 2 sprints Triathlons; TriBoulder and My Way or the Tri Way. At My Way or The Tri Way, I won my age group for the first time. I didn't feel it was my best performance but finishing first place out eleven 55-59 year old dudes in my age group was pretty cool. I received a decorative bowl for my efforts. It sits amongst all the finisher medals I have earned.
