Runner’s diary, the year in review

Failed to post a diary on Monday, but I logged five miles on the treadmill in 43:15 in the final trek of the year (music: mix). The goal for the year was 800 miles — managed 806 after a slow start. I had managed just 317 miles by the end of June and did not get to 400 miles until the first week of August. But I picked things up in August as I get serious about training for the LBI run and managed 400 miles the rest of the way (which included a lighter December).

This year’s goals: 900 miles, a half marathon in the spring, at least four 5Ks (I did two this year) and — maybe — another go at the LBI run, this time without walking.

Happy New Year
