SAT & SUN 12/29 & 12/30 THE END!
Saturday 12/29: After a day of rest (if you call working 12 hours rest) I ran a final time around Fiesta Bay for the year. I did another 15K (9.3 miles) at a good pace of 8.25/mile. The Dons are also 3-0 in the tourney and will play for the championship tonight! All is good in Don's country! I also crossed the magic 2100 mile mark! Woo hoo!

Sunset at Mission Bay and the Sea World Christmas tree, loving San Diego in the winter time!
Total Miles: 2106.18 Pace Runner: 2100.46 + 5.72 miles
Sunday 12/30: This is it, the final run! Started early (kind of considering how cold it is) to get out of town for Vegas to see my parents. 6.3 miles at Lake Murray in good time and that makes the mission accomplished.
I tried to take a video but it shut off after 8 seconds for some reason (maybe to spare you!) but here is the still after the 2112 is done in my 2112 shirt!

Here we are at the Las Ventanas New Years Eve party with my Mom & Dad. We had a great time with some of their friends and my Mom even stayed up for midnight with me.
I want to take this time to thank all of my friends and family who have given me so much support in so many ways. I would love to name you all but I think you know who you are & I don't want to leave anyone out!
I would like to name a few of my former students: Julia, Cat, Cole, Brittany, Betsy, Taylor, Lucas, Ian, Claire, Max, Kade, Maddie, Kirstie, Danielle, Dan, & Nick.
Special thanks go out to Michelle, Dawn, John, and my niece Lelia for all the technical and moral support!
I'd also like to thank all those who gave me inspiration along the way: D-Rock, Ronan, Riley, Tehya, my Mom & Dad, and our running angels, Natalie & Amanda!
My musical motivation from Rush, Iron Maiden, Foo Fighters, Cowboy Mouth, among others.
It has been an amazing journey & I could not have done it without you. I can only hope that you have been inspired to go out and achieve your goals, be persistent, and to not give up before you reach your goals no matter how difficult it can become. If I can do this, then you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to do! Thank you all for joining me! Please let me know what you plan to do for 2013 at tortoise2_2@yahoo.com Take care my friends!
TOTAL MILES: 2112.48 I'll have some stats up here later if you are interested as soon as I have a little time to get things tallied.
LOVE you Mom & Pops! Hope this shows you just what you mean to me! <3

12/24 - 12/27 M - TH
Christmas Eve: Another run around Fiesta Bay using the bridge over the the inlet vs. the Rose Creek trail to Grand. It was getting late and I wanted to make sure I made it back with a little light left. Looked for the homeless guy that I see by Fiesta Island but he wasn't there as it had rained that morning. Good run with a good pace.

Christmas Day: Lake Murray this morning. It was closed so had to park out by Golfcrest Dr. which let me get a little extra mileage in. Good pace as usual for this course and it was pretty quiet for the holiday, I guess most were focused on opening presents! Hope you had a great one with your family and friends!

Dec. 26th: Did the Bay again today and this time my friend was by the bike path between Fiesta island entrance and Sea World. His name is Dominic and I ran back to give him a bottle of water and a little $ for a Christmas present. He was very grateful (mind you, we had exchanged hellos often when I ran by but he had never asked me for anything & I have never seen him drinking either) and I hope that he uses it for good purposes. 11 + miles today too!

Dec. 27th: It's another Fiesta! Trying to get this run in before I have to work the scoreboard at the CCCC (Cathedral Catholic Christmas Classic) basketball tourney. I have to be there for 12 hours tomorrow so I will be taking the day off from running! If you are looking at the links to the Garmin times, you will notice my pattern, start fast, slow down in the middle, then finish strong. Could be much worse!

Almost 62 miles (61.97) in the past 7 days! My best in any one week period for the year but I needed to power out some miles to reach this 2112 goal! Things always get in the way of running and some you can plan around but others you can't. Been lucky with the rain and have been able to plan around it thanks to some good forcasting for a change!
Here is a good aerial view of most of Mission Bay in case some of you not from the area want to see some of the beauty I have been blessed to see on my runs!
It's amazing what a few word changes can do to your whole outlook on life! :)
Total Miles: 2096.88 Pace Runner: 2088.92 + 7.96 miles! What a difference a week makes!!!!
All my love to my family and friends who have brought me to this place, so close to the GOAL! <3 :)
