PM - 4 miles on the treadmill on a cold afternoon.  Did 2000 meters of indoor rowing after. 

Had a decent year of running in 2017.  Just over 2200 miles logged; and no serious injuries.   I raced the gamut of distances too. My first ultra marathon of 50 miles (symbolic of being age 50); 2 marathons (Berlin and NYC); half marathon (Des News); 5ks amd 10ks and 2 track races at all-comers meets of 3000 and a mile.  I ran with friends and ran a few competitively.  

Looking forward to the New Year - with some additional volume and some new experiences - like my first cross country race since high school.   

Happy New Year!

Sounds like you're no particular type of runner - just a runner!

I'm still itching to make my cross country debut!

Happy New Year, Bret.

Too old to specialize Rob :)

Happy New Year to you both.
