Runner's World Motivational Poster #6

Classic. Had to post this.

Forget 2011

I'm back running after almost three months of recovery and there's three things I know for certain

1. My hip is still not 100%.
2. I can still run sub-7:00 in short distances.
3. Due to races filling up, I'm going to have to sign up (and pay up) for 2012 races before I know if my hip will hold up.

Meb FTW!!!!

Meb Keflezighi FTW!!! Unbelievable, 36 years old and headed to London for his third Olympics. GO MEB!

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.

December and the End of 2011

After a very succesful 2011, but a rough finish, I spent December in much the same as any other year...skipping road running for the ski slopes.  Jennie and I once again visited with her mother in Europe, spending two weeks touring Germany and skiing Austria.
