I'll try and keep this short. 
1665 or so miles for 2008 which is down from the 1825 or so I ran in 2007. The year was front-end loaded mostly because I BQ'd in May which caused me to slack off for the rest of the year. Did a bunch of races. Off the top of my head, 2 marathons, 2 halfs (as pace bunnies), two 10k's, a 9k, an 8k and about four 5k's. I think that's all of them.
2008 I guess will always be remembered as the year of the Boston qualifier and will probably be the fastest I will ever be. The amount of training required to get me there was a bit too much and since my BQ time drops by 5 minutes next year, I probably won't ever feel the need to go faster.
I don't really have any plans for this year. Other than Boston and mulling about a marathon in Hawaii, I have no real goals or races in mind. I still would like to break 20 minutes for a 5k and 42 minutes for a 10k and set a PR for the half in 2009, but will still be content if I just stay healthy.
May you all meet your running and personal goals for 2009! Thanks for reading.

I don't know if '08 was the fastest you'll ever be.. in fact I think that's a bunch of hooey. :P good luck in 09, which will be remembered as the Year of the Boston!
You did it! BQ'ing is a big achievement! =)
I dream about marathons in Hawaii too, the one in Honolulu is close to Christmas time too.
Hope 2009 is injury free
