It's been awhile, but I thought I would an end of year entry would be appropriate.
Overall it's been a good year. I had some real accomplishments. Went up to Kettle Moraine and finished that 100K that I got lost and DNFd 9 years ago. Had another good Howl at the Moon and although I didn't finish the Tunnel Hill 100 Mile, I did get in 76.4 miles and a 50 Mile finish first in my age group.
I didn't screw anything up as president of PSRR. I made some new friends, particularly Kibet. And I am still part of Kennekuk and joined Kankakee River Running Club.
Have had fun watching the 3 grandkids grow up even amid the long days of babysitting. And grandchild number 4 is due in April, 2017 (another boy).
We seemed to have survived another surgery for my wife, a hip replacement this time. Although it is too soon to know for sure, it looks like it has been a success.
But for almost all of December, I haven't been able to shake this cough and it is getting to me. Although I have continued to get some running in, it has been much more difficult. I have decided to take the last couple days of December completely off. And I will probably need to finally go to quick care.
Here's to a great 2017 and my top goal, finishing the Tahoe 200 Mile in September. (More details to come).
