2011 is in the history books, and its time to look back and see how it all added up.
In looking back, I started the year with no specific goals for miles cycled or run, just event goals. The plan was to target half a dozen cycling events and commit to running both a half and full marathon. That changed. My cycling went to zero after a few months, and I concentrated more on my running. I kept the goal of running a marathon, and came up with an additional goal of running 1,000 miles during the year. I did not make the marathon, but I did make it to 1,000 miles in total.
While I didn't make my targeted cycling events, I did get to a number of running events, averaging just over one a month. The totals came out as follows.
Events Ran
5K events - 5
8K events - 2
10K events - 2
Half Marathons - 4
There were a total of 192 runs covering 1,000 miles. I also did get in 12 days of cycling for an additional 240 miles before converting to all running.
All in all, not a bad year.
In looking ahead, I plan to keep on concentrating on my running. I still plan on doing a full marathon sometime during the year. I would also like to keep on averaging an event per month. And I plan to aim for 1,200 miles run during the year.
Until then, see you on the road.
