Run the Year 2017 (Nov edition)

Published November 30, 2017

Enthusiasm is common. Endurance is rare.

November 2017 update: Month of Thanksgiving, time of thanks/gratitude/reflection. Thankful for friends & family – saw both this month. Visited my Mom & brother in Arkansas, completed a ‘nearby’ marathon. Friends Dawn & Stephen travelled to Colorado. Food fest’d, museum-toured Western Art, ran our local Turkey Trot Thanksgiving morn (canned goods donation to Sister Carmen).

December focus: STAY the COURSE

On track to complete 2,017 miles in 2017 next weekend at the big C Marathon. Small charity run in the Pacific Northwest, 100% of proceeds go to cancer research. Kicked off 2017 marathoning New Year’s Day, 10 days after my last chemo treatment. Seems more than fitting I would end 2017 giving back, now being on the other side.

Race ReCap: 2 marathons, long 5-hour finishes: Rim Rock in Fruita, White River Marathon in Cotter AR.

Marathoning Streak: celebrated my 4 year RUNniversary – 48 consecutive months marathoning!

Mileage ReCap: ended November at 1,981 miles (only 36 miles from GOAL)
