These are my half-marathon times. I signed up to run the Eugene Half-Marathon this spring (again) as well. There are some big gaps in this chronology, but that’s OK. A lot happened and even if I didn’t run half-marathons I never stopped running. Onwards!

In many ways I far exceeded my modest goals and in other ways I didn’t. All in all it was a positive year for me. The breakdown: 901 miles run.

It’s a “No Days Off†calendar where for each day of running you scratch out the day and beneath the ink is a word which will make up a complete story as the year goes by. Now, I don’t plan on…
“In our modern lifestyle we are not runners anymore. So we are basically disconnected from what we previously had to do. Most of us are out of shape and we don’t have to run for our hamburger or our dinner.
