I've just spent hours reading what people did last year, many of them writing for the first time in a year. I'll be brief.
I ran 2063 miles in 2011. Here's some frame of reference:
2011: 2000 miles
2010: 1800
2009: 2400
2008: 2700
2007: 3100
1985: 4200
Zach Bitter in 2011: 5700.
(I'm not bitter, I'm quick.)
I didn't finish an ultra last year, only ran over the marathon distance in training once or twice, did one 25K and one 10 Mile trail race. I ran well from January to March, then got ill and didn't recover until October, when I started ramping up again. Still, it's better than last year... last year I was really sick.
On to 2012, the year of the new age class.
[Added: and if anyone cares, I'm starting the year 9 lbs. lighter than last year, with a waist 2 inches smaller... but I'm learning to make molded chocolates, so that might change soon.]

My 2011 mileage: 1,543. But it's my New Year's resolution to not even give a shit, so don't go feeling all sorry for my pathetic performance. I might even go REALLY crazy and not even keep track in 2012...
...Nope. Now that's just crazy talk. I MUST keep track, and I'm at 10 so far. That's right - TEN!!! So suck on that, Bach Zittner!!!!!!
Yowza!! I'm I DON'T have a running mileage total for this last year. I bet you can guess what "patético" means!!
Nice mileage! That is great!
So, molded chocolates you say.... do you deliver? :)
You beat me, Steve! I ended up at 144 runs for 1008 miles, exactly 7M a run. My long run was 16 miles. I think I'll run through the winter this year, though. I've only been able to ski 20 days so far.
Happy New Year! Hope to see you out there!

That's a lot of miles!
When will you be bringing me some chocolates? My baking goals for the foreseeable future are pretty modest and unambitious.
Woooo - that's a lot of miles. I don't think I hit 1000 this year.
Nice work Steve, I was just under 2000 miles for 2011. Hopefully 2012 will be alignment free.
