So 2008 was not one of my best years.  It started out well training wise, but by March I was completely hobbled with stress fractures in both legs.  I missed most of my races (what a waste of money) and gained a lot of weight and lost almost all of my fitness.  I came as close to the edge of giving up training completely as one could get, but somehow pulled myself back from this precipice.  Major credit for me not giving up completely goes to my friend Larry.  He serves as an inspiration and trained with me all through the fall.  Without his influence and training companionship I wouldn’t have been able to prepare myself for the NYC Marathon and the JFK 50 Miler.  By the end of 2008 I ran over 1000 miles and set my focus on doing the Vermont 100 miler in 2009.

This year should be better.   To start the year off right, I am going to make some resolutions…

In no particular order my 2009 New Year’s Resolutions are:

1.       Do 100 Pushups and Sit Ups every day.

2.       Keep better track of my finances.

3.       Be a better father.

4.       Stretch regularly.

5.       Read with my children every day.

6.       Stay injury free
