NELSON'S RUNNING
RUNNING REPORT - 2016
With every year that passes, I am increasingly grateful for the ability to run at all...let alone to make strides (pun intended) in performance, overall fitness and finding joy in the simple act of lacing up and heading out the door. While work & travel may have prevented me from participating in as many organized events as I might have liked, it afforded me many opportunities to run in exotic locations from the Hamptons to Hong Kong, in assorted challenging or scenic conditions and with good friends and colleagues. It's been another wonderful year of early mornings with Coach Baker and Trainers Josh & Frankie. Mixing it up, I hope, will keep me running all the days of my life! A big "thank you" to them--and all my other running friends around the world who continue to share their enthusiasm across the miles. Bonus: when I tallied up my annual mileage, it was not only beyond my goal...it ended up being my third-highest since I started keeping track way back in 2003, and 120 miles up on last year. Obviously, every step counts!

Sub-freezing but always fun...and only seconds off my time from last year, so age isn't yet slowing me down!
Here are some other memorable (non-scored) moments in my year of Running!
Post Blizzard Run in Central Park with my pal, Australia's Foreign Minister, Julie Bishop.
In LA for the Oscars. A nostalgic Runyon Canyon trail run with Edwina Bartholomew.
A jaunt around Baltimore Harbor.
Running though the DC Zoo.
On assignment in South Beach Miami.
Amazing to go for a run in Paris, along the Seine.
Home Away from Home: Running in the Hamptons.
Beautiful Stroud Reserve, Chester County...land of my birth!
With my niece, Page Ann, and her sons in Central Park.
Julie Bishop was in town for the UN General Assembly, so we had a Dawn run in the Park!
