thud

Ended '12 with a resounding thud.  835 miles (16 miles per week) for the year.  42 miles for the month of December and 63 for August.  My high mileage month was 113 in July.  I only had 4 months of the year that totaled 100 miles or more.  The kicker is that I've been mostly healthy, definitely healthy for the crappy August and December totals.

I suppose one way to look at it is that I'm fully rested from my very decent 50 miler on Nov 17.  I'm sure I took longer than usual to recover since I was so undertrained going into it. That 50 miler and Misty and I doing the Bandera 25k together last January are definitely the highlights.  And 118 total miles for the year with Misty is also very cool!!

There are a  positives though.  I'm actually in pretty good 7 mile LBL shape right now and I'm sure part of that is the relative consistency of the crunches and pushups I've been doing lately.  Those are 2 things that I can continue to build on.  I'm afraid on the 7 mile part I won't have any choice BUT to build on it since I've already informed Shan I'd really like to get under 60 min for it this spring.

So, onto another year.  I have some goals in mind but none I feel strong enough about to actually put in writing.
