2009 in numbers - a summary and comparison

The numbers:

Running days: 171
Total km: 2533 km
Average run per day: 6.9 km
Average run per training day: 14.8 km
Average km per month: 211 km
KM high: December - 346 km
KM low: March - 32 km

Comparison with 2008
250 days ran vs 171 this year - absurd
3835 km covered vs 2533 this year - ridiculous
puke

The highlights:
Finished 5th place in the very competitive Okutama Ekiden

The disappointments:
The entire year was a whole disappointment sport-wise

The goals for next year:
Win some races.
Get some pbs
Get in more mileage
