'06 in Review: Running
So it's the time of the year to review our accomplishments... seeing that I faithfully kept my running log this year (although it's not that big of an accomplishment as most of the data is downloaded automatically) I have more stats that you can shake a stick at. Here are some of the more relevant stats:
- Total number of runs: 176
- Total Distance: 1173.5 miles (monthly breakdown illustrated in chart)
- Total Time: 171:31:35
- Total Calories: 129006
- Average Distance/run: 6.7 miles
- Average Time/run: 58:23
- Average Pace: 8:46 mins/mile
- Half-Marathon - 1:37:38 @ the Seaside Half-Marathon
- 18 Miles - 2:23:35 @ the Draggin Tail 18 Mile Challenge
- 5K - 20:30 @ the local Turkey Trot
- 38% my mileage was accomplished on Tuesdays and Fridays (not surprising as these were my long run days).
- I ran most often on Tuesdays.
- More than half of my mileage was run in the morning.
- Most of my mileage (~60%) was run in 45 min to 1.5 hr chunks.
- About a third of my running was done at work (which I found pretty low).

SMART goals are the way to go. Sounds like you had a VERY successful year of running!
DO you use the Garmin? I was thinking of that, until the forever injury seems to make it unjustified as a purchase....
at least for the moment.
Best wishes for you new running goals in 2007!
This is cool!
BTW, how did you keep track of all the running miles, etc.? What tools / accessories do you use?
Thanks,

I run with a Garmin ForeTrex 201 GPS receiver and then upload the run data to s/w based exercise log called SportTracks. The s/w does all the stats for me.
