2021 in Review

 2021 was not exactly a post-pandemic year, but it sure beat 2020.  I ended my 11 and a half+ year running streak on April 28 for implant of a pacemaker, due to a low heart rate.  I missed 13 days of running, but not a day since.  I turned 80 in May.  After so many years of running, this is the first year I have logged all my miles.  A monthly list is below.  The pacemaker includes a built-in heart monitor, so my doctor asked me to log what time I ran each day and how far, so he can check my chart and make sure the increased heart rate is consistent with the time I am running.  So, I plan to continue with my log.  In any case, I find it helps with motivation.  I ran 70 races in 2021, but nothing over a quarter marathon (6.55 miles).  My career total is 1,223 races.  Late this morning, I went to the crowded state park and ran 4 miles on the trails.
