Went to Spin Class this morning, after 4 songs jumped on treadmill, the back on Spin bike for cool down song.  0.6 mile progressive warm-up, 1 mile at 6:53, then progressively faster last mile ending at 6:00.

Only 7.4 miles to go ... & it will be sunny & 62 this afternoon!  WooHoo!  :)

PM - Put on my racing flats & singlet & went to Sims Lake Park ... didn't really have a specific goal, other than run 7.4 miles ... pretty fast.

Finished off the year with a great 7 mile progression run, with the 2,000th mile of the year being one of my fastest ... then a 0.45 mile cool down.  I am pretty happy with this run, especially since it concludes 52 miles running in the last 4 days.  I would say I made pretty good fitness gains this year ... which I guess one would expect when they run 310% more mileage than last year ... and most importantly, I was injury free all year!

Happy New Year to All!

Really great run. I was going to comment on the coincidence of your final mileage on the final day of the year, but not so coincidental! That last one was a scorcher, congratulations on all of your progress this year.

Wow look at that finish. Great way to cap off the year. Have a great 2012.

Whoooo....Hooooo, I almost missed this entry! Congradulations on the milage and the scorching last mile :-) Can't wait to see what you can do this year!

Thanks guys ... I can honestly say that I would not have made the strides I did in 2011 without the support, encouragement, and friendships that have come my way via FRB! I hope to cross paths with you in the future, and wish all the best of success in 2012!
