Who's gonna' run more than they did in 2011?

[theshortwhiteguy]

If I stopped today, I would not make the 1466.23 miles I ran in 2011 by 78.24 miles. Not bad considering I had eight months where I averaged 137.32 miles, three months averaging 71.78 miles and December ain't done yet.

I have 14 days to run more than I did in 2011, but I don't run more than 4 days in a row. So many miles...not so many days (left).

Something just occurred to me - my avatar might be the answer to my mileage problem.

Maybe it's because you take shorter steps than the rest of us. Just sayin'.

 

[Barefoot TJ]

And don't forget, everyone, be sure to post your end-of-the-year mileage in the 2012 Mileage Club thread if you want to get a shiny certificate. We count barefoot AND minimalist mileage!

It has been a great year for me, I surpassed 1000 miles barefoot by a decent margin and should top 1,800 miles by the end of the month. Both significantly higher than my 2011 totals. Looking forward to 2013 to see what I can get too. The goal of 2013 total miles looks total achievable.

I didn't keep track, but I am sure I had many more miles this year. It has been a good year. I guess I will check the mileage club and keep track next year. I am sure it is a good motivator.

I should just get 5000km in, but by my calculations I might end up being 20km short of last year. May have to do double days next week to surpass last years mileage.

Definitely more than last year, which is when I began to run consistently again for the first time since 2003, but not as much as I would've liked. I had to deal with misdiagnosed TOFP, a freak MCL injury, and some mild ITBS. But at least I'm finishing strong (knock on wood). My goal next year is to top 1000 miles, bare of course.

Last year I ran 1755 km, so far this year I have ran 3234 km.. I just got a little sore sole lately which feels so wrong kind of soreness, that I'm probably not going to run much more this year, I'll swim now for a while. I have had good controlled progression at my yearly running distances. When I started running at 2010, my first year's goal was to run 500 km (I did 770 km), 2011 goal was 1000 km and 2012 it was 2500-3000 km. So, for 2013 it will be 4000 kilometers. And probably 100 km of swimming.

TJ, when bare, isn't shorter better?

 

[SillyC]

Yep! I ran ~1750 miles last year, and I'm at 1952 right now. More than last year.

 

[barefootn]

Last year 303 barefoot barefoot miles.
This year over 1000 miles.

 

[DNEchris]

Last year 303 barefoot barefoot miles.
This year over 1000 miles.

Way to go!

 

[Barefoot YOW]

I'm about 150 km over 2011 total

 

[Barefoot TJ]

TJ, when bare, isn't shorter better?

Hahahahaha!

 

[Barefoot TJ]

I'm confused. What does barefoot barefoot mean?

 

[barefootn]

I'm confused. What does barefoot barefoot mean?

I stole that term from an earlier poster, I'm sorry I don't know who it was. It seems so many "barefoot runners" are actually wearing barefoot shoes I'm just trying to be more specific. Some people say "skin to ground".
Tonight at our book club meeting someone mentioned seeing me running barefoot and another person asked "Oh do you wear those funny shoes with the toes?"

 

[Barefoot TJ]

I know. I was just asking a rhetorical question as a joke.

 

[barefootn]

I should have realized.

My life is one BIG rhetorical question!
