Highlights:
·
Running my first marathon (Hartford). Although
the weather wasn’t the best that day (rain and cold) this was a fun race. I
like running the marathon but hated (like winter) training for it. I was also
enjoyable because I had company for most of the way, running with Shara. · I can’t remember when but I think it was in February when we had a small group run on a VERY cold WINDY day in Charlestown. We ended the run by going to that small bakery in which we took over the place in conversation when we meet this older couple. Time stood still as we shared stories of marathons, triathlons, racing and training……….
· The group breakfast run at Chris house May 31st (my birthday)
· Running with Tom and Jeff on Jeff epic 50K on his 50th birthday
Although Tom and I only ran 17 miles on this vision quest with Jeff, it was enjoyable run finishing with Jeff on this epic challenge.
545
miles on the bike
Longest ride 57 miles
New rider added to the group this
year – Chris (Armstrong) Garvin Side note, Chris works at Amgen and they are the manufacture of EPO (I like a good conspiracy theory)
Summary – if you haven’t notice, I have a theme. The best part of all these activities is the many group runs, group rides and group swims this year. Always fun suffering with friends instead of alone.
2015
Registering
for Boston 2016 More group runs, rides and swims
Try to stay injury free
I like to do a century ride with all who bike – you know who you are (Tom, Jeff, Shara, Beth, Chris)
I’ve plateau in my quest of PR’ing in a 5K (18:19 in 2012) as I’m not ageing like Jeff (backwards) aka Mr. Benjamin Button. So I’ll concentrate on the longer distance PR’s
