I finished off 2006 with a final run over my 14K/8.7M loop around my town and neighboring fields and forest on Sunday. I left my stopwatch home and just ran at a pace that felt good.
Later in the day my wife and I went bowling with a friend of ours. This was the first time in something like 14 years that we were bowling and I’d forgotten how much we enjoyed doing this. We agreed to make this at least a monthly event in the future.
Later our friend joined us for fondue and a quiet night bringing in the New Year. Our neighbors kept us entertained with fireworks and we finally called it quits about 3:30 in the morning. So the new year got off to a late start as we slept in until almost noon, almost unheard of in our house.
Tonight it’s back to training, I have to work off all the holiday calories. We are expecting milder temperatures and rain this week, but better than cold and blowing snow anyway!
So Happy New Year to everyone, I hope you all had a good running/cycling/swimming/training year and wish you lots of fun in 2007!

Happy New Year to you too Jack!
Wish you start the year with a great run!
Wish you health and strenghr for all the year!
Have a great 2007.
Happy New Year, Jack. I think you had a very decent 2006, and 2007 promises to be even better.
A very Happy and Healthy New Year to you Jack.
Happy new year!
Make it a great one, Jack. Your running has become stronger and stronger--keep that focus and you'll be just where you want to be.
Happy New Year, Jack!
