Retrospection of '24

 For the first time in several years, I did not run an Ultra. In '24, I decided to return to running road marathons. I ran Wilmington and Marshall. Both were solid races. I missed my goal of breaking 3 hours, but I got close each time. 

Aside from these two races, I ran a lot shorter distances. I ran both road and trail races. True, I actually did a 3rd marathon which was the New South Trail Marathon. This is one of my personal favorites, as I love running the WWC trails. 

Another goal that I was close, but I wasn't able to cover was the elusive sub 19 minute 5k. I ran a number of races, where I could have closed the deal, but for one reason or another, I just never got it done. I hope that this year, I can make it happen. 

Lastly, as far as mileage, I am going to finish with about 3800 miles. This is a little under what has been 4k standard for the last couple of years.

On to '25 and all that it holds...
