Year End Running Round-Up 2011
I did a year-end wrap-up post of my races for 2010, and now I continue that tradition for 2011.

Hartford Half Marathon, Oct 15, 2011: 2:41:05, 12:11/mile

Hot Chocolate 5k Run, Dec 4, 2011: 35:19, 11:09/mile
This year, we missed the Tomato Trot because of Pi-Con, the AIDS Run because of Run to the Rock, And the Bridge of Flowers because of Rock n' Roll Providence. As the results show, in that last case especially, it had nothing to do with fitness level. Our timed runs this year were limited by available funds. When I finished school, my income went with it, so we cut back wherever we could. Hopefully, now that I am back to work, that will change for next year.
I'm going to start working on a general year-end wrap-up post, where I'll talk about these results in more detail. Some of my resolutions last year pertained to running, and although I didn't keep them, I'm still pleased with my times and accomplishments this year. I'll explain later, I promise. Just be patient, and you'll see what I mean. :-)
