The year 2011 has ended and I thought of posting my annual mileage since I started running in July 1994 at 54 years old. Time does go by fast. It seemed like it was just a few years ago.

My first marathon which was the Marine Corps Marathon in VA/DC(Oct.23,1994) was ran with less than 3 months training followed by the Philadelphia Marathon(Nov.20) 27 days later. I didn't know any better but I survived.
In 2006, I ran 6 marathons, the most I did in a year.
1. Walt Disney Marathon Orlando, FL 8 Jan.
2. National Marathon(Inaugural) Washington, DC 25 Mar.
3. Boston Marathon Boston, MA 17 Apr.
4. Delaware Marathon Wilminton, DE 21 May
5. New York City Marathon New York, NY 5 Nov.
6. North Central Trail Marathon Sparks, MD 25 Nov.
I'm not a member of the 50 States Club but I've ran in 14 States and Washington, DC so I'm qualified if I wanted to join. The furthest I've been to(from homebase NJ) is Honolulu, HI on 14 Dec. 2003.
For the races, the distances start from 3 miles, 5K, 8k, 5miles, 10K, 15K, 10miles,13.1miles(half-marathon) up to 26.2miles(42 kms.) which is the marathon. I am looking forward to doing ultra-marathons(above 26.2miles) in the future, God willing.
Btw, I keep a log of my daily runs since I started running hence I was able to look back and do this posting.
Keep the running spirit!
