Running Summary for 2021

In 2021 I began running consistently in April. But I hurt my back in May, and in June I believe I experienced a stress fracture of my pelvis, which took nearly four months to heal. I walked long miles through the summer to stay in shape, and I began running again on September 20. I did not run for 31 weeks this year.

I made several visits to Oregon in 2021 to visit my mother, and this made it possible for me to do some good running on the Oregon Coast and in Lake Oswego.

I participated in the following races:

• Portland Half Marathon (run and walk) October 3
• Virtual Boston Marathon (walk) October 8; I stopped after 13.51 miles because of blisters
• Bay Bridge Run 10k (Chesapeake Bay Bridge) (run) October 31
• Gobble Gobble Gobble 4-miler (Somerville) (run) November 25

I ran 201.38 miles for the year. My longest run was 11.08 miles, and my longest week was 21.23 miles.

I plan to retire on February 28, 2022, after which I will have more time for running.
