looking both ways

2012 was a good running year for me.  Looking back at my log, I ran a little over 900 miles in the first half of the year leading up to the Comrades run in South Africa in June.  I'm actually surprised to see that I ran another 1,000 miles in the second half of the year because I haven't been running very often since the JFK 50 miler in November.  It seems I've been taking December off from running (along with the first couple weeks in January) in recent years.  I think that's been a good thing, allowing me to rest up and start dreaming big again.

Looking forward, I've started thinking about doing a 24 hour run.  I paced a runner for a couple of loops last year at the 24 Hour Adventure Trail Run at Prince William Forest Park down near Quantico, VA. It's a nice place to run, and the race management and support seemed fantastic (the race's web-site is here). I haven't signed up yet, but now I better do it ...

Run strong in the new year.  Keep your feet under you!
