I did not achieve a couple of the big goals I set for 2010. I didn't run a marathon PR in May, but I did run a solid race (my second fastest time) and I did it with very little speed work or marathon specific training. I did not finish the Leadville 100, but I learned some valuable lessons that I will take with me this year.
Despite these two (and a few other) defeats, I had a great running year. I ran a lot of miles with great friends on beautiful Colorado trails. I ran a lot of races (30 including the FCRC T&H series). I ran all but one of the Thursday night Towers Time Trials. I ran across the Grand Canyon and back in October. I got to witness and be a part of Ean's amazing launch in to road, trail and ultra running.
As I look back on the year, I am so thankful for my family that always supports and participates in our many running adventures; the incredible FCTR running community that is always up for another adventure; and the beautiful place where I live.
As 2012 begins, I hope to run smarter, run faster and have many more great adventures with my family and friends in the mountains, deserts and canyons.
Happy New Year!

30 races, that's a lot! I haven't tallied up mine, but I am sure it's less than that.
ReplyDeleteI like you're year at a glance mileage log, I think I'll add a tab to my spreadsheet to pull all the info into one table like that.
Looking forward to sharing many miles (hundreds)on the trail with you and the rest of the Fort Collins Trail Runners this year.
