I have tabulated all my running statistics for 2009.
HTML tables suck through the blog software. So I've made into images (from note pad).

Not bad for my first year of competitive running. I did not run all of January and almost all of February. I took off the rest of December after running 2 marathons and 1 half marathon within two months time.

It is true what they say about dropping down on distance; you run faster. When I moved from 10k to 5k I reduced (PR'd) my time for the 5k by 1 minute and 21 seconds. When I moved from a marathon down to a half marathon, I PR'd the half marathon distance by 3 minutes and 41 seconds!!

The shorter the distance, the faster I get. Well... except for the 15k distance. The half marathon distance seems to be my favourite distance.
Lets see how I do this year!!

An easy 3.1 mile run

I ran an easy 3.16 miles in 26 min 14 sec @ 8:18 min/per mile pace. This was my first run since the 10k race (Fort Worth Club Einstein) on Sunday. My run was interrupted for about 40 seconds; a large pit bull got loose from its owner and ran after me. I waited for it to get a couple of whiffs of me before it let me continue on.

Enjoyed the weather; it felt like spring. The weather was cloudy and the temperature was around 58 degrees. Tomorrow will be crappy; rain and possible "winter mix" on Friday morning.

1. 8:26.77, 08:26.77, 1 mi 8:27 / mi.
2. 8:25.80, 16:51.87, 1 mi 8:25 / mi.
3. 8:08.31, 25:00.18, 1 mi 8:08 / mi.
4. 1:14.60, 26:14.78, 0.2 mi 7:54 / mi.

Due to family commitments, I will not be able to run in the Lake Benbrook Half Marathon this Saturday. Good luck to everyone!!
