Oh 2016.

First of all, some numbers:

2016: 3116.3K running (2 runs remaining).  You can bet I'm going to aim for 2000 miles (3218.6K) in 2017!  I've never run more than 2600K previously so I am thrilled!
Lifetime: 20264.2K (since 2008)
Bruce Trail badges: 8

Cycling: 524.2K.
Events: 17. 5 road races, 11 trail races (4 ultras; 3x50K, 1x50M), 1 bike.


Some of the more memorable moments of 2016:

• Running in -41C windchill at the Oracle Trail Race.
• My first 50 miler at Sulphur.
• Getting reacquainted with Shannon, my friend from elementary school, and her husband Darek, who are avid trail runners.

Showing Shannon and Darek the wonders of the Bruce Trail.

• Meeting my friend and coach, Heather, in person and running a race with her.
• Joining a really cool local trail running group.
• Trying snowshoe running.

• Having a beer with Lanni Marchant.

The big year end question: what's in store for 2017?

• The #1 goal of course is Sulphur Springs 100K.  I have hired Heather for another block of coaching.  I need her to hold my hand as I train for this huge race!
• My first snowshoe race. 
• Work on some badges: Oak Ridges Moraine Trail, Avon Trail, Maitland Trail, Grand Valley Trail.
• Continue to have fun and look great doing it!
