Have a great New Year :)













































































































( Photos from bottom to top: Western Maryland, southern Maryland, Baltimore City and northern Maryland, Eastern Shore and at the top a group photo after the North Beach 5K where I completed my Maryland-wide running quest :)



Hey there everyone, 2007 was excellent! Once again, thank you all for helping to make this an excellent year for me as I succeeded in my quixotic attempt to run at least one running event in every county of Maryland (and one in Baltimore City, Maryland as well) within a year. I even ran races in all three of Delaware's counties. It was great meeting and geting to know you and I look forward to seeing you at the races and running events, and to keeping in touch.

I'm gonna get ready and go with my friend Brian to our friend Karen's house for a New Year's party. Should be a fun time, I'm lookin' forward to it. I hope you all have a fun and safe New Year's holiday!

I hope you all enjoy the New Year and the holiday season. God bless you all and as always thank you for stopping by :)
