Done and Done

2011: Done.
2,850 mile goal for the year: Check.

 Happy New Year!

I went into last week unsure of how many miles I would get in this year amidst continuing Christmas festivities and New Years Celebrations. While I continued to indulge in the holiday junk, I also had a surprisingly great week of running. My legs felt great and all my runs felt easy and fast (holiday junk eating = faster running? :).

I ended up with 69.1 miles for the week and surpassing my goal of 2,850 miles for the year. Take that 2011.

Monday: 10 mile run in Wylie, Texas @ just under sub-8 pace.

Tuesday: 5 mile ez during lunch

Wednesday: 15.05 miles @ 8:03 pace

Thursday: 7 mile progressive tempo run

Friday: 10 mile run - 5 out, 5 back (run second half faster than first; sub 8 pace)

Saturday: 16.1 mile long run with Mick; starting at 8:30 pace and dropping to 7:15 pace. 7:50 avg pace for the run.

Sunday: 5.85 mile resolution run with the Georgetown Running Club. Ran with Rob, Allison & Justin @7:47 pace.


Happy New Year from the Ruyle's!
NYE. I made it until 10:30 pm. That's huge for me.

  2. Awesome week of running! I think junk food makes me a better runner. :)

  3. Pretty impressive list of goals for 2012 Erin - I think that the Pfitz plan is really going to pay some big dividends for you Erin - even if you just taper for Boston, that will be sure to make a big difference for you!

    If you ever need a workout partner for some of those mid-week longish tempo runs, just let me know - I use a "Marruchellaized" version of the Pfitz plan, subbing in the hill work for some of his up-tempo stuff, but our days should match up pretty well.

    Take good care Erin and best of luck out in AZ!
