Run stats for 2011

I like data a lot so I was looking at what I did in 2011.

I started running February 28th, on my treadmill.  I did Couch to 5K (click the link for the plan) and ran my first race on April 16.  I was on week 7 of the Couch to 5K plan at that point and really pleased with my first time (31:50 officially).  Week 7 has you running for 25 minutes at a time, which is hard on the treadmill.

I've been logging my training in an Excel spreadsheet and I'm going to make a better one for this year to track even more data.  But I can tell by month and overall what I ran and walked, mileage wise.  For the year, I walked/ran a total of 279 miles.  Out of that, 86.5 miles were walking and 192.5 miles were running.

This is the monthly break down:

Feb/March	41.11
April	39.45
May	28.95
June	51.98
July	12.87
August	10.26
September	26.9
October	13.11
November	16.28
December	38.13
	279.04

Which is pretty decent considering in mid-July I dropped the cymbal on my foot, got stitches on my toe, and couldn't run for 4-5 weeks until it healed.  (It's still not fully healed- hurts sometimes to touch and still doesn't completely bend.)  Watching the Turtle Trot Race was really hard, too!  I wanted to run it so badly.  And in September, October, and some of November, I was working so many hours at work that I barely had time to fit anything in, much less try to exercise.

Also, some of that is estimated.  When I run/walk intervals outside, I had to estimate based on the amount of time running and walking.
