1679.8 miles

One of my six goals for 2006 was to get myself in shape to run the American River 50 in April of 2007. In 2005, I ran slightly less than 1,630 miles. Even with essentially two weeks off during our trip to France, I covered almost 1,680 miles in 2006. This included three 10ks (Run Against Pain, Run 4 Independence and Run to Feed the Hungry), one half-marathon (Cowtown half-marathon) and one marathon (California International Marathon). Overall, I give myself a B+ grade in my effort to prepare for the 50 miler in April. I just wish my hamstrings and hips felt a little better!

For 2007, my goals include competing in the American River 50, starting to cross train in May and maintaining a consistent strength training regiment.
