I think it's fair to say I should have done more cross training in 2012.  I did much more in 2011 and even that probably was not enough but at least I biked around 3 times per month and lifted weights more than once a week in 2011.

I'm always amazed at my year end results.  I certainly improved as a runner this year(even though I need a rest now).  Just look at the amount of elevation difference.  Quite a difference in my hill training in the two years.  I'm also really surprised by the number of days running each week.  A very consistent 5 days a week running but I also ran 60 more miles in 2012 and that would have been more like 85-95 had I not take a break at the end of this year.

Have a great day and....Keep Running!!!!
