Dec Tally and 2010 Summary

December Tally

Numbers:
  • 67.6 miles by feet (48.0 miles running, 19.6 miles walking)
  • 8 trips up the hill
  • 1 5K race
Thoughts:
  • My walking mileage suffered due to inclement weather. My running was right where I wanted it to be though
  • Vitamin D3 experiment was successful. Felt more like myself after starting supplements regularly.
  • Really enjoyed training with my marathon friends.
Plans for January:
  • Keep running outside!
  • Begin half-marathon training for possible April race.

2010 Summary (Running version, bullet style)
  • Kicked off year with half-marathon training
  • Ran consistently, had fun, felt great
  • Achieved a half marathon PR
  • Experienced sudden recurrence of PFS in left knee
  • Tripped and suffered road rash and fractured radial head in left elbow
  • Quit running for three full months
  • Spent lots of time walking dogs and climbing hills
  • Received Euflexxa injections
  • Started over with running
  • Discovered trails and off-road races
  • Joined marathon friends on long runs

2010 sure didn't unfold the way I anticipated, but I learned to adapt and enjoy each day as it came. I'm not sure what 2011 has in store for me, but I'm ready to do the same.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!
