    (That was a low-volume week.)

    12/09: 3.76 miles (6.05 km) @ 7:43/mi. 13.76 miles for the month. 36.24 remaining for my goal.

    12/31: 4.00 miles (6.44 km) @ 7:53/mi. 59.45 miles for the month. 9.45 over goal!

    Today was 15℉ (-9.4℃) with a moderate wind and light snow. I tried my new Kahtoola Nanospikes over my running shoes today and am pleased to report that they worked like a charm on the uncleared sidewalks and slippery road crossings.

    I have to take at least a week off of running (and other physical activity) in the middle of January, thanks to oral surgery, but I might be back for the January challenge anyway, with a curtailed goal. Best wishes for a great running year in 2015!

    @lonewolfrunner Todays run leaves me 37.5 miles short of the original 414 I attempted to run with you, but I enjoyed every mile of it. I'm super excited that you were able to accomplish your goal! Looking forward to 2015miles in 2015.

    I miscalculated and ended up a mile short. If it wasn't cold, dark and NYE, I'd get out and run a quick mile to finish....

    I have been depressed because I can't run as much as I like since I don't run in the dark with the jogging stroller or take it out when it's below freezing. So I haven't been tracking here so much because of it. Anyway I made 95 for the month. 1462 for the year, up from 860 in 2013. Will try for 100+ in Jan.
