Month and 2006 Overview

Overall 2006 was a good year. I ran a total of 2749 miles, which is an all-time high (previous high was 2477 in 2005). I didn't race much, but I did set PRs in the Marathon (3:06:39), half marathon (1:26:46), and 10k (39:40, my first sub-40 10k). The downside was suffering from runner's knee. I only ran twice for a total of 7 miles between November 16 and December 15, basically missing a month of running any shot of reaching my goal of 3000 miles.

My December is easy to sum up. I ran for the first time on the 15th. From December 15 through the end of the year, I ran a total of 81 miles on 13 runs, no doubles, and 4 days off. I basically took it easy and worried more about staying healthy, building a little endurance, and entering 2007 ready to go.

I have set a couple of goals for 2007. I'd like to run over 3000 miles, go sub-3 in the marathon and sub-19 in the 5k (my current PR is 19:13).

Happy 2007 to anyone reading.
