1110

1110 is the number of miles I need to run in 2012 to get bring 2010 and 2011 back up to my 13+ years of a 20 mile per week average.  That comes to 21.3 miles per week or 92.5 miles per month......very doable!!

The last 2 years have definitely not been good for my running.  Not to mention getting into my 50's now, a natural slowdown combined with my emotional eating has me hitting the scale at an even 200lbs now.  The food does not melt off like it used to so I've got to try to get a grip on that.

The good news is that I'm still running and fairly healthy.  No major drawbacks physically.  My left knee is still a minor issue but I think it'll be alright.  Even better news is that I'm probably in better shape than 80-90% of men my age.  This week I've gotten in 7 and 4 mile runs and Misty and I have the Bandera 25k that we are hiking together this Saturday.  That course is so beautiful I've really pushed for Misty to do it with me.  I hope it ends up being a positive experience!!
