    I forgot to mention here that I got a 3:37:59 (3:58:05 gun time) at the Rocket City Marathon this past Saturday.

    My last race of 2015, Reindeer Run 5K today was to benefit the Strong Museum of Play. It features trophies with action figures; in past years, many of them were characters I didn't recognize. This year, seasonable weather (28° F with 17 mph WSW wind) after an unseasonably warm early December wasn't conducive to PR times. My 20:16 wasn't close to a PR, and was a few seconds slower than last year's effort; but it was good for 39th overall (of 1693 beating the cutoff) and 1st (of 59) in the M 55-59 age group. And I got a trophy with an action figure I recognized. :)

    Forecast for 10 AM was 31° with 15 mph wind and 15% chance of precipitation. Actual weather turned out to be 30° with 6 mph wind and a lake effect snow band. The poor footing meant it wasn't a day for PR speed; but unlike some runners, I had seen a few specks of graupel on my driveway at 8 AM and made the call to wear trail shoes. My official time of 53:58 for 7.5 miles was good enough for 28th of 301 overall, and 1st of 20 in the male 60-64 age group. No bling, because it was a low budget race; but it was a lot of fun. And I did get to pass 2 or 3 younger people in the last half mile. :)

    42° at 4 PM gun time was not winter weather, but that's what I got for the Winter Warrior Half Marathon. 4 loops around Rochester Tech Park, and I couldn't run good tangents on the 3rd and 4th loops because I needed to pass crowds of walkers and slower runners with varying levels of understanding race etiquette. Still, I turned in a respectable 1:30:59 gun time for 22nd of 958 overall and 1st of 12 in the male 60-64 age group.

    This was the first leg of the Four Seasons Challenge, so there was the first part of a 4-part medal in addition to the half marathon race medal.

    I did the 1/2 marathon in Houston (Aramco half). Run at the same time as the Chevron marathon. Great race this year.

    Suwanee Gateway Half-Marathon, finished 14 of 250 runners, 35-39yo male AG winner @ 1:36:10. Was on pace for sub 1:35:00 (my goal) until I hit the hills at mile 8.

    Good swag from this race - long sleeve tech shirt, finisher's medal, finisher's fleece blanket, AG top 3 received an engraved medal with name and race time, AG winner received a runner's jacket by Schuma.
