2011 retrospective

Well, this week was another non-run, gym-elliptical one. I did try and hike a little bit (1/2 an hour), but that did inflame the bursa on my foot, so not too successful. I do have very high hopes for the next month.

Stats for the week:
Run: 24.2 mi, 3:48 hrs (all on elliptical)
Walk: 1 mi, 30 mins
Yoga: 1x, 1:30
Bodyweight: 3x2, 2:40 (heavy-duty)

December Stats:
96.4 miles running, 15:51 hrs
11.2 miles walking, 3:55 hrs
3.5 miles biking, 0:15 hrs
111.1 miles moving, 20.01 hrs, this averages out to 5 hours per week...

In terms of the year retrospective... I was out for 7 weeks in February-March for a torn calf muscle. I've been out five weeks so far for this crazy metatarsal bursa issue. Other than those, I had a pretty good year for a newbie ultra runner, or runner in general.

I PR'ed in the Old Sandwich 1/2 Marathon Road Race (2:07:01), I ran my first 50K and then road marathon - the Vermont 50 and the Cape Ann Marathon. During both I experienced bad IT pain at about mile 21. For the Marathon it wasn't so bad, it practically crippled me (I walked the last 5 miles) for the 50K.

2011 Stats:
907.3 miles running, 173:50 hrs, over 181 events
200.3 miles walking, 66:02 hrs, over 151 events
133.1 miles biking, 11:24 hrs, over 14 events
41.1 miles hiking, 27:55 hrs, over 6 events
3.0 miles snow-shoe, 1:30 hrs, over 3 events
1.6 miles swimming, 2:00 hrs, over 3 events
1,286.4 miles moving, 282:41 hrs
33:05 hours weights/body-weight, over 100 events
17:00 hours yoga, over 11 events

All in all, 332:46 hrs of exercise this year = 6.4 hours per week!
