11 miles / 8:44 avg. Bluff trail. 15F, North wind, faux sun. Easy pace, good negative split. Low level cold that I've been under for the last three days is all but gone (thanks Airborne?).
WT 47.4 miles Happy New Year! Year in Summary - 2010 2009's totals in parenthesis 86 days with no running (57) Total miles = 2,578.74 (2,654.15) # of runs = 290 (331) # of days run 279 (308) # of doubles 11 (23) Avg. miles per run 8.89 (8.02) Avg. miles per day run 9.24 (8.62) # of TM runs 22 (32) # of TM miles 139.95 (194.05) Avg. miles per TM run 6.36 (6.06) Biggest month 247.05, March (260.95, April) Most miles in one week period - Non blogular: 70.2 4/16 - 4/22 and 12/11 - 12/17 (81.2, August) All within the Sun - Sat blog week format: 31 (17) weeks less than 50 miles 12 (21) weeks between 50 - 60 miles 9 (10) weeks between 60 - 70 miles One 50k (October) One marathon (PR - May) One half marathon (PR - April) One 5k (PR - July) This year went great for me. I set my mileage goal at 2,500, which was less than what I had run in 2009, because I felt so wiped out in 2009 (my first full year of consistent running). I ended up running only 75 miles less this year than last, but I never felt the overwhelming fatigue that I did in 2009. This tells me that I'm stronger, my mileage base is good, not too many miles, but enough to improve on as evidenced by my PR's this year. Also, 2010's miles were spread out more evenly. I feel confident that I can run 3,000 miles in 2011 without hurting myself, though I expect it to be challenging in terms of time commitment and keeping a higher mileage week. I'm look forward to enjoying some more over-long training runs in 2011 as I continue the delusion that I'll be able to run a 100 miler someday.
