Well, 2012 has been a pretty good year for running. I ran some of my fastest times, collected a few trophies, completed two marathons (Nashville and Atlanta), and completed my goal of running 1200 miles in 2011!
Here are a few highlights:
1. Two half marathons in January: Red Nose and Warner Robins.
2. Set a PR of 2:30 on the New Thanksgiving Atlanta Half Marathon Course. It is, however, short of my 2:20 PR set in 2009 on the old course.
3. Completed two marathons: Nashville (5:46) and Atlanta (6:00).
4. Set a 10k PR in Madison with a time of 1:00:19! Hopefully I'll break an hour in 2012! Set a course PR for the Macon Labor Day Road Race (1:01:52)
5. Broke the 29 minute barrier in two 5k races!! The Steeple Chase 28:28 (Covington, GA) and the Race Against Violence 28:03 (Conyers, GA)
6. Set a course PR in the Covington Fuzz Run 29:19!
7: Set course PRs in the Covington YMCA's Cheerios Challenge 5k 31:22 and 10k 1:02:56. I also received a winged foot trophy for my 10k run!! (I've wanted one of those for years!)
8. No trophy in the Elks Aidmore run this year, but I set a course PR, running this 5k trail run 4 minutes faster than my previous best! I believe the time was 31:20 or something like that! Anyhow, I felt great about the result!
It was a very good year, overall. I look forward to another great year of running in 2012. Perhaps this will be the year I break an hour in the 10k and 28 minutes in the 5k. Who knows, I might even break 2:20 in the Half Marathon. At any rate, I plan to work on staying fit and having fun!
I'll be running the Red Nose Half Marathon in good old Columbus Georgia next Saturday, January 7. Hoping to break 2:30 for a course PR. We shall see!

5k in 28:03!! Marathon Next Week
I'm feeling good about next week's Atlanta Marathon. Tapering is going well. It is so easy to taper!
Ran a 5k road race in Conyers Race Against Violence this morning! Set a PR for 2011 of 28:03!! I haven't run that fast since my 28:28 last April in the Covington FUMC Steeple Chase! I believe that the cross training is paying off, especially for those short distances!
However, when it comes to the marathon, all bets are off. We shall see what happens next Sunday. Perhaps I will be able to give a good report about my race. I know that I can finish, I've proven that many times in recent years. The questions that linger in my mind, are: Can I run it faster than 5:30? If so, how close can I come to the 5 hour mark?
Feeling great for now!!
