So I know this is a little late but I guess it's better late than never. So without further suspense, here's what you number nerds have been waiting for...

The JC Review: 2007

In 2007 I totaled 2,610 miles, averaging 217.5 mi/mo, 50.2 mi/wk, and 7.2 mi/day. I ran 24 races and won 4 of them. I PR'd 15 times over 10 different distances, ranging from 1500m up to the half marathon (3 indoor, 5 outdoor, 1 cross, 6 road). 2007 was a year of changes and a year of discoveries. It was certainly better than 2006 but also showed room for improvement in many areas. I would say it was a productive year; however, in many respects, I was not satisfied with what I accomplished. I know I can do better! I have some big goals set for 2008, some that probably seem unrealistic or even impossible. But I plan on working harder than ever this year and will do everything in my power to accomplish those goals. I know I can be successful at this and I invite you all to be a part of this journey as I continue my quest for greatness.
