Holy cow, sports fans, two posts in one day. But I can't let the year end without my obligatory end of the year running recap.
The year started off well enough - on track for some decent mileage. Then I got my second stress fractures in two years (femoral and pelvic). Anyhow, I ended the year with a total mileage of 1784.7 miles (second highest since I started keeping a log in 2003). My average run was 8.9 miles. My average weekly mileage was 40.5.
Meanwhile, I swam a total of 49.52 miles (2.13 miles of which were in triathlons) and I biked a total of 234.63 miles (82 miles of which were in triathlons).
On the racing front, it was very disappointing. My planned race schedule was scrubbed for the most part. I ran one marathon (not my best), and two triathlons. Meanwhile, I had DNS's (Did Not Start) in one half marathon, one half ironman, two marathons, and one ultramarathon. Bummer.
What's in store for 2013? Number 1: figure out what the hell is wrong with me so I can get back to running without having more pelvic stress fractures. I meet with the metabolic bone disorder specialist later in January. Number 2: avoid DNS and DNF (i.e., figure out some way to start and finish Boston, which I've already signed up for, purchased airline tickets and hotel room). Number 3: as always, run more with Jordana (i.e., maybe run Boston literally with her, and maybe do an ultra with her).
But above all, just have fun running and keep running my own race.
Signing off for 2012.
