29 miles to go!

I got my log book caught up and discovered that I now have 1171 miles for the year which leaves 29 to hit 1200!  I think I can manage 29 miles in 3 weeks!  I run tonight with the Thursday night gang so I will get 4-6 so maybe I will be down to only 23 to go! 
I'm not sure if I wrote about when I hit 1000 miles back in October.  I was running a half marathon as my long run 2 weeks out from my marathon.  Going into the half I had 988 so when I crossed the 12 mile mark that put me at 1000!  Yep, I shouted out that I just ran one thousand miles since Jan. 1!! (I'm really good at being a dork!)  Several people said congratulations and good job!  A couple of women were just amazed as if it's something unheard of.  I know people who run much more in a year, even 2000 + miles. 
Well, Runner Nerd is off to Psychology class now! Only 1 more week to go!!!!!!!

The Last Day of the Year, The Last Oppurtunity to accumulate mileage in 2009

Here it is, the last day of 2009.  Can you believe we have completed 10 years in the 2000s already?? Hard to believe.  It seems like it wasn't that long ago when people were panicking and stockpiling food and stuff because we didn't know what was going to happen when the year changed from 1999 to 2000. 
Well, after the 5K I am running tonight I will finish the year with 1021 miles!  This is the fourth year I ran over 1000 miles. 
Tonight I have 1021 miles, tomorrow I have ZERO.  It's time to start all over again.  My new log book is standing ready and waiting to be written in!!

Three of my Thursday night running groupies are going to be running in this race too!!  One of them is inviting the rest of us to her house for dinner!!

My daughter is having a few friends over.  She has been busy cleaning the place up!!
Tomorrow one of the trainers at the gym is having a group run.  He said 7 miles but asked if anyone was interested in going 10 so I said I would but I don't know what is planned. He will most likely have 2 or 3 short loops planned so people can drop out when they want to. 

Happy New Year and Happy Running to anyone who may happen to read this!!!
