2011 Annual Totals

Though I was shut down for almost the entire last quarter of the year, the total mileage ended on a nice symetric 888 miles, completed in about 129 hours (5.4 days) of running time.

You can tell by the peaks and valleys in the monthly summary the phases of training, from half-marathon training (March), to speedwork/5k season (April-May), to marathon (June-Sept), and ultimately to injury...oops.

The miles and minutes include some warm up and cool down, so that adds about .8 mile (~8 min) total per training day, throwing off the annual pace. Omitting that, annual pace is just under 8:00/mile for the year, even with my long-slow-distance (LSD) runs. I'm going to try tracking training pace (without warm/cool) in my 2012 tracker.
