Well, another year has wrapped up, and it is time to see how ye olde goals worked out for last year.

I had wanted to log 1,000 miles of running on my Nike+ system. This seemed easy enough – it is just 20 miles/week for all year. There are several times a year where I run 20 miles in one day! Surely, this is possible.

Sadly, it will have to be a goal for 2011. I missed it for the second straight year. I had to take all of last January off to try to let an injury heal. The Nike+ seemed to always be locking up or being out of battery on the days over the summer when I was doing 12+ mile runs. Also, I know for sure it missed 55 miles of races that I ran this year, since I don’t wear my iPod while running races. I’m guessing the iPod/Nike+ missed about 100 miles of running (possibly more). Having said all of that … the official Nike+ stats for 2010 are:

888 miles (931 in 2009)
113,000 calories (106,000 calories – I ran about the same amount of time – slightly slower pace)

So, in all likelihood, I got to 1,000 miles for the year, but the goal is to get the iPod to register them all.

As far as the goal of losing about 10 pounds, I did at one point, losing 8 pounds by last October. Sadly, I have gained them all back over the holidays. So, the 113,000 calories, which equates to 32 pounds, was all eaten back over the year. I guess I’m glad I run.
