Notes
Alright! First run of 2012! Despite not sleeping too much because of New Years, and drinking a bunch of wine and being a bit hung over this morning, this run went quite well. It was absolutely beautiful outside. Unseasonably warm weather.
This is going to be a very long post because I'm going to review 2011 and take a look at my goals for 2012. I'm thinking of starting a running blog just to better keep track of the softer side for myself and to have race reports and the like with pictures/video.
2011:
Well, overall I'm pretty happy with 2011. Lets take a look at what I wrote 1 year ago:
Set a PR in:
5K - yes
Half - I would have if the half I ran didn't turn into a 9.5 miler so this is a semi-yes
Marathon - Didn't end up running one
Do an Olympic Triathlon - yes, I did two!
Run 2000 Miles - Nope, only 1617, which is 31 miles per week, and 276 more than 2010.
Stretch Goals: Nope :(
<20 5K
<1:35 Half
<3:20 Marathon
So, even though I completed only half of my regular goals and none of my stretch goals, I am not at all disappointed. This is most likely due to me being very gung-ho about 2012. I have laid out a lot of goals and I am very excited about what's to come.
