Year-End Review: 2017

Ah yes, the annual "year in review" post... aka one of my favorite reasons for owning a Garmin.

Running totals: 1,321.43 mi over ~208 hours split between 227 runs
888 miles on the road
143 miles on the trail
116 miles on the treadmill

Biking totals: 738 mi over 63.5 hours split between 56 rides
550 miles on the road
101 miles of mountain biking
38 miles on stationary bike

12 running races:

1/21 - Greenville News Run Downtown 5k
2/4 - Yeti or Not 25k Trail Race
2/12 - Barcelona Half Marathon
2/25 - GHS Swamp Rabbit Half Marathon **PR**
5/13 - Cradle to Grave 30k Trail Race
6/10 - Sunrise 8k
7/4 - Peachtree Road Race 10k **PR**
7/9 - See Jane Run Half Marathon
8/19 - Michelin 5k
9/15 - BMW 2-Miler **PR**
10/13-14 Bourbon Chase Relay
11/11 - Charlotte Marathon **PR**
11/23 - Turkey Day 8k

PRs for all distances except 5k and 8k.

Pretty pleased with my running game being back at its peak (for the most part). Still searching for speed on the shorter distances, but maybe that will come with some speed-specific training.

Challenges this year included some lack of focus and direction over the spring and summer. Seems that after big events and PRs, I tend to relax for a while (which is fine) but I lose ground with my fitness during that time. Again, not a problem but just something to note about my habits.

Definitely lacking on the biking and triathlon front. Perhaps that will change in 2018... not sure I'm ready to put forth any goals or targets for the next year, but I know I'm happy with what I've done and look forward to "doing more work". :)
