2011 in 2011 – 2011 in Review

Here’s the highlights of breakdown of my activities in 2011.

• I ran 2011 miles – I “Ran the Year”.
• I ran two marathons – Boston in April and Grandmas in June.
• I did my first non-sprint triathlon – Square Lake 1/2 Ironman in September.
• Things worked out in December with the weather and my work – it was beautiful and I wasn’t too busy at work, so I ran a lot – lots and lots.  The weather was unbelievable!

Those were some pretty odd circumstances that worked on in my favor to run 2011 in 2011 – I got very lucky.

Here’s the monthly running mileage breakdown (inspired by Dexter the Punisher and Steve in a Speedo – also note the big push at the end):

Here’s the numbers breakdown:

• Running: 210 runs for 2011.07 miles in 275 hours 8 minutes 23 seconds.
• Biking: 28 Rides for 527.77 miles in 31 hours 46 minutes and 27 seconds
