4.45 down 155.55 to go...

To some it might seem formidable, but it really shouldn't be. In the first 30 days, it's my goal to roll through only 100 miles, or 160 kilometers.

Once that's done the number will double.

So, I started my run at about 11:58 and wrapped it up at about 25 minutes past 12... once again, I ran into the new year, and it felt "good" - not nearly enough running lately, so it was harder than it should have been, and the dry air on the lungs is always great... but it's a start, and I'm only one hour into the new year.

Yeeha!

Ok, so I this blog reads like a who's who of where the heck is Matt... but I assure you, I am back on here, and daily. Even if it's just to fill you in on my 5km run of the day. I promise it will get more exciting - it's gotta get more exciting, because I have a lot planned.

Oh yeah, Blackfoot is in 149 days and counting. My watch is here to remind me.

50 miles in 149 days... no problemo.

Ok, enough for that for now... much more to follow. January 31 is a big day, mark it on your calendar and call me to find out what, if anything, happened on that day :)

Finally, before I forget, HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone, even if I didn't get a chance to talk to you in 2008 - thanks for being a part of my life. I am grateful for everyone's contribution in 2008, you all helped me to get me where I am, and I am eternally grateful.

THANKS A MILLION - and here's to the best year yet, 2009!!

Peace out my friends!
