Tonight after I came home from work I went through a few boxes that were in my kitchen and I found a bunch of running artifacts from my past:
-A picture of my Roseburg to Coos Bay relay team from 1998 (we placed first that year).
-A binder with neatly preserved information forms for the Capital City Marathon and the Seattle Marathon in 2000 (I ran in the half-marathons for both races the previous year).
-Pictures, unopened, of finishing the 2007 Peachtree 10K race after a three-year hiatus.
-My running journals from 2003-2006. Here's how I ran during those years:
2003: 560.725 miles
2004: 516.16 miles
2005: 126.9 miles
2006: 361.275 miles
It's pretty amazing. I've run nearly as many miles this year as those four years combined.
I love what I have become -- a day in and day out runner, uncompromising and determined. I'm hoping for another good year next year, with many more goals accomplished.
