Year End Numbers

I was going to run tonight but could not get in the fitness
center. I don't have a key card and the staff was gone for
the day. So I'm done for the year.

I ended with 2163 miles my most in a single year. I was kind
of surprised I had more than last year with my injury this
year that set me back 4-5 weeks. Looking for a big year for
2010. I would like to get close to the 3000 range.

Here is my race results from 2009.

Roads were slick tonight. It slowed me down some but I still
put in a solid effort.

Ran on the treadmill tonight. I have a 7 day pass to
try this gym out. I really like it. I'm pretty sure
I will be joining. I'm no longer a member at Gold's Gym.
The treadmill felt solid and has a tv.

Packerland

2:45 pm) mid 20's

Felt really good today. Nice weather and the roads were
in good shape.

50 Miles for the week. Okay week not what I was shooting
for. Was thinking more like 60. I only had 4 runs this
week due to injuries, holiday and weather. Next 3 weeks
will be up in the air. No real goals as far as mileage
goes. I just want to get healthy and get in some quality
runs.

Lost Dauphin Rd. & Broadway

20 Miles 2:17:45 6:53 average per mile
10:00 am) 20's light snow
Well I got my long run in. It wasn't easy though. I felt
flat today. I'm sure eating lots yesterday didn't help any.
It took most of the run to start to feel descent. I was able
to pick up the pace miles 15-19 like I hoped. I ran these in
the 6:30's range. I would have run the last mile the same but
my body gave in. My right hammy started to bother me and I
was out of gas. I only drank 15 oz. of Gatorade and had a few
sport beans that's all. So no surprise that I hit the wall. I
finished the last mile with what I had left it was still 7:00
mile but felt very hard.
So I basically am done with my long runs now it's time to try
and heal up some. I feel like I'm falling apart somewhat.
Training for a January marathon is much more difficult than
training for a fall marathon. Next year no January marathon!
The last few weeks I have not been getting in the miles like
I had planned. It's either been the weather or my aches and
pains. Not sure how much if any this will affect my marathon.
All I can do is just go out and give it 100%. If it's a PR
that would be awesome if not it is what it is.

Grant St.

7 Miles 51:39 7:23 average per mile
10:00 am) low 30's
We had some snow and ice last night so the roads were not
the best. My hamstring acted up again today so cut this
run short. Not sure if I will get my long run in this
weekend. The weather is not going to be great and my
hammy might have a say in the matter.

East De Pere

12 Miles 1:26:32 7:13 average per mile
6:00 pm) 20's
Ran first 6 by myself and then I saw some of the running
club members out for a run so I ran 3 miles with them
then back home. Okay run felt pretty good a bit sluggish
though.
