What happened in 2006

Hi all,

I would like to take a moment to show how I ran in 2006. Red denotes lifetime PR, blue denotes year PR. It was a nice year, trying to find out my limits, trying to set PRs.

You can see that my times varied but I gave it my best in every race. Though in the Oak Tree Half Marathon I ran with a mild left hamstring pull and pulled it again halfway through the Safe Journey Scarecrow 5K. I finished, I am stubborn once the gun sounds.

All in all, 2006 was a great running year. I didn't keep track of my mileage until after I bought a new pair of running shoes, Brooks Adrenaline GTS, in September. October was 69.4, 14 out of 31 days; November was 70.1, 14 out of 30 days; and December was 102.1, 17 out of 31 days. The fall and winter weather were very mild for upstate NY. We only had 5 inches of snow by the end of December!

Keep running, Doug

P.S. Here is a picture of me at the Mendon Ponds 20K Trail Run on November 11th, 2006.
