It was a good year even though I did not achieve my goal of running my first 50k due to another blasted stress fracture; however, I did accomplish my first half marathon and it was great. It is a new year now and there is still time to hit my running prime.
Of course I can't write this blog without saying a little something about my little Johnny boo because he was one heck of an awesome companion animal that sadly I had to lay to rest January 5th. I will run a lot this year in his honor and hope to find many pennies and other coins with the year 2006 because he was born that year July 17th. For Johnny Kitty.
And now for the pennyrunner annual report. Like a good entrepreneur, president and CEO; I should disclose my financial earnings. Otherwise, what am I doing this for anyway? I collected $11.11 on runs and in other random places. It is amazing how much money is just lying around on the ground. My daughter Grace is embarrassed to be seen with me now and runs away from me saying "I don't know you". Pffft! Teenagers! One day when it puts her through college, she will be thanking me. My friend Brad told me he knows a good doctor I can see for this and that he is going to purchase me a mini metal detector to run with so I can find even more and he can move into my mansion someday. He never ceases to make me laugh even if it is at my own expense. Ha ha ha! I will have the last laugh all the way to the bank. LOL! Here is the breakdown:
US Coins
227 Pennies = $2.27
9 Nickels = $.90
36 Dimes = $3.60
11 Quarters = $2.75
1 US Dollar Coin = $1.00
$10.52
Foreign Coins (pennyrunner is going global)
1962 Canada 1 Cent Coin = $.01
2012 Canada 5 Cent Coin = $.05
2008 Panama Coin = $.10
2013 Turkish Lira = $.43
$.59
2014 Total: $11.11
Well, it is not enough to purchase a new pair of running shoes, but it is a start. Here is to a happy and healthy 2015. Hope my math is right. Keep running!
Love,
the Pennyrunner
