Running Summary For 2011 + 2012 Goals

January1

This year was a great year for running goals! I ran two marathons on my own before getting injured due to changing my desk/chair setup and needing to take a long break. I basically got sciatic and learned to do some better core stretches. I’m rebuilding now and hope to get back up to speed soon.

For 2011 I ran 1,198 miles in a total of 175 hours. Which breaks down to 8 minute 46 second miles.

For 2012 I’m going to be traveling a lot through May so it’s going to be hard to do a lot of running, especially in South America where there are not great trail runs in cities. So I’m going to take it slow and try to rebuild up to about 100 miles a month and I hope to get up to marathon length again by the end of the year. And depending on how things go maybe an ultra at some point if I’m feeling great!

    Ben Ben!

    How awesome is this! Glad to see you running, and running a lot! Good luck on you training down there. I was finishing a marathon Sunday here in OKC and none other than Luke Matthews shouts from a random lawn telling me I should be sweating more…good ol Luke. What is your next big run? Are you still in Denver?

    Thanks! Awesome on the marathon, thought about doing any ultras?

    I’m in Santiago Chile for a month then me and my brother are moving to Australia for a year! Melbourne I think!

    Right now I’m just trying to rebuild after an injury, and hopefully get to some marathon length in June/July, and maybe an ultra late this year depending on how much time I put in!

This is bwb’s personal blog, so he can share his thoughts with the world, however scary or silly they might be. Plus family and friends can track what I am up to, and where I am in the world.

I am pretty simple. I love Mangos. I love the ocean (although mostly at sunset, as I’m a ginger). I love to travel, eat exotic food, do long bike rides, read, and use my imagination. At some point, I decided it was better to be a pirate captain than an admiral. I am a globalist and see the entire world as my responsibility and playground. And I am married to an amazing woman who makes life even more fun :)! And we are now the proud parents of Calico Jack :).
