I need to step it up some- but I have excuses. Ran that half on the 8th and I took several days off after that to recover. And I also had a light training week leading up to that- so I think that February will be better. BUT, it is a short month so I have to get on it Tuesday.

Well, I guess that does it. I fell a little short. However, I did enjoy trying. I think that a couple of things were working against me. 1. I am a wuss- I have a hard time getting going in the cold and hot weather. 2. I had a couple of injuries along the way this year. 3. I don’t think that I really though out how hard it would be to do this. It is 20 miles a week, or something like that- that is tough from a time-suck perspective.

However, Here we go… 2012!!!! 1000 miles!!!!! I want to see if I can get a little closer this year.
