<p>Notables for the Month include <strong>Opie</strong> breaking into the monthly century club for the <strong>first time since July</strong>, and doing it with his <strong>fastest ever </strong>average monthly pace; <strong>Fortunate One</strong>'s <strong>4th highest mileage total</strong> in the past 3 years; <strong>CassadAAmius</strong> ran two <strong>Master's PR's</strong> in December with an <em>18:05 5k and a 30:12 5-miler;</em> <strong>Plugging A</strong>l<strong>ong</strong>'s <strong>best December ever</strong>; and <strong>bap</strong> has a string of <strong>9 straight months over 100 miles.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>December's <em>Arithmatic Meanie</em> was <strong>Rainey,</strong> earning the title by throwing a dart at the bull's eye of 130.2 miles, blindfolded, behind the back, and through the knees.  Next closest to the mean for all miles reported was <strong>evanflein</strong> at 125.9 miles.  But I'm thinking that if you call Alaska home, your December miles are not equal to everyone else's December miles.  Gives a whole new meaning to "<em>Degree of Difficulty</em>".</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Our Right in the Middle of the Road Runner (<em>meep meep</em>) is <strong>Heme</strong>, at 120.75 miles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>For 2010:</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>3000+ Miles</strong></span>: A coupon for a <strong>free oil and filter change</strong> goes to <strong>CNYrunner at 3,359.6</strong> miles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>2500 Miles</strong></span>: gobi earns the <strong>Winston Churchill</strong> Award for having a larger than life, Round, British figure at 2,500 miles even. Give that man a cigar.  <strong>mcsolar99</strong> wins the <strong>Maxwell Smart Award</strong> - close, but no cigar at 2,495.5 miles - <em>missed by THAT much</em>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>2,000+ Miles</strong></span>:  The R2K Award is shared by the following. </p>

<p>Wow, what an excellent report, BTY! We masters certainly did have a fantastic year, didn't we? Congrats to everyone!!</p>

<p>Now THAT is impressive!!  I love all the geeky numbery stats, but the added BTY touch with commentaries, awards, etc. was just fabulous! Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Thanks Brian! Looks great.</p>

<p>10 out of the 31 people reporting indicated they had all-time mileage records.  Take a look at how many of those 10 runners also indicated that they set PR's in multiple races as well.  I thought that as we aged we were supposed to get slower and have knees blowing out from overuse and on and on.  Way to go everyone!</p>
