Dear Running Pals & Other Interested Parties.

2005 was an amazing year for me in many ways, but particularly as a recreational runner. Thanks to my passion/obsession for distance training and racing, I logged an annual total of 1143 miles (compared to 944.9 in 2004 and 834.2 in 2003) and ran five (!) personal bests! I must acknowledge three special groups: my weekend running buds (especially Lauren, Joe & Eli), the Distinguished Donors to my St. Jude Marathon fundraising and my SUNRISE colleagues & audience who cheered me on all the way from the other side of the world.

Among the many 2005 highlights:

March 6 - LA Marathon
Unexpectedly ran the entire course with my pal Mark Daviau.met up with the SUNRISE cameras at Mile 17 and finished with a PR of 4:14:01.

March 26 - Reggae Run 10k
A PR of 49:07 with my inspiring neighbor, Tom Jackman.

April 16 - LMU Run for the Bay 10k
A PR of 45:38 and so much fun with my Seven Network teammates Louise Pennell, Jason & Mev Blount, Stewart McNeil and Jo Haney.

May - LA Sports & Fitness magazine
Interviewed a hero of mine, Ultramarathoner Dean Karnazes for "LA Sports & Fitness" magazine.

May 14 - Palos Verdes Half Marathon
The most beautiful and challenging course imaginable! And a PR of 1:48:39.

July 23 - City of Cypress 10k
No personal record that hot day, but a special appearance by lovely Heather Pennell made it a morning to remember!

December 3 - St. Jude Memphis Marathon
The most emotional, fun running experience I've ever had, and for a great cause. New friends in Memphis (Charles, Tiffany, Kari, Teah & Marianna), thousands of dollars raised for the Children's Hospital and a PR of 4:11:39 were icing on the cake!

I'm inclined to think these personal feats can never be matched, but I've learned to expect the unexpected... and to train sensibly and diligently so that more special moments like these can be recorded in my 2006 Runner's Log and for many more years to come!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST, ENCOURAGEMENT & SUPPORT!

Happy New Year!
