A Review of 2010

Thankfully, I reached my 69th birthday in May and made it through 2010 without any serious injuries or illnesses. I ran every day during the year and completed a personal record of 59 races.* This included completion of the Texas Marathon Triple (Kingwood, Surfside Beach & Seabrook) for the third year in a row, completion of the Marathons of Texas (Dallas, Houston & Austin) for the first time and completion of the Texas Marathon Challenge (any five Texas marathons in a season) for the fourth year in a row. In February, I completed two marathons in one weekend. I continued to write my running column in the local newspaper and hopefully the column influenced a few people to start running. Since I am starting 2011 with a marathon tomorrow, I ran laps at the track this afternoon.
