2011 and December statistics

In December I ran 507 miles, bringing the year's total to 4,699. I did not have the racing success I did in 2010, partly due to injury problems early in the year, then focusing on the national 24 hour championships later. However, my one major success of the year was qualifying for the world 24 hour championships, which made 2011 a great year for me.
