60 min's on the elliptical. I did a Tinman tempo on the elliptical today... or effort. I just tried to keep the strides per min to around 190 and the heart rate around 130. Then after I did some weight and core lifting. 

Well I guess it's summery time: Month wise I turned in the lowest monthly total for me in just about three years at only 153.7 for the month. But I pushed out just over 400 more miles this year than last (4015 last year)! Way too many and I'll never do that again. It hurt me down the stretch making me feel over trained and wore out when it came time to race.

Along with getting my hamstring healthy again I'd like to mix things up a lot more this year. You know try some different things... (Squaw Peak 50 miler). However I'll do more biking and go back to my 2007 training of less speed work and more running according to how I feel other than what the numbers say. Anyways we've got another one in the books gang. Have a good New Year!

Sounds like some good plans. That is some amazing mileage! You are a beast. Good luck with your '09 plans.

I think I will do some different things this year as well, not so much the Squaw Peak 50 though! I definitely know I can run okay on little mileage, so I might keep it down and add more weights and cross training. Happy New Year to you and the Family!

Happy New Year and good luck with all your goals this coming year.
