Wrapped up the year with a chilly cruise. Got my 2014 and 1.75 extra for good measure. December was 241 miles. Going into 2015 on a high note and we'll see what it brings. A BQ? Or two? Good race in Germany? Three or more marathons?

Hope 2015 is a great year for you. If you're going to travel to Little Rock, please look me up and maybe we can run together. My next race will be the Little Rock half-marathon, then Boston in April. My goal at Boston is 3:25 or better. Dave Mundorff

Thanks, Dave. Not planning on running LRM. I did that for my debut marathon in 2008 and not going to repeat it (I trained so much on that course it's like running it 20 times). I plan to try for a BQ in May somewhere, possibly at Mississauga, and then will run Frankfurt, Germany, in October. There is a chance I'll do the Three Bridge Marathon in Little Rock in December though. Good luck on your BQ!

Good luck Jeff. Toronto and Frankfurt should have cool morning running weather. If I'm in Little Rock for the Three Bridges Marathon, I will probably be involved as a volunteer. This year I helped plan and coordinate parking and event clean-up.
