Another interesting running year. My overall impression is of disappointment, but by the numbers it was another breakthrough year with PB in pretty much every event other than the marathon
Highlights:
March - Half marathon PB 1:22:03 Darlington
May - HBF Run 4 a Reason 13.9k 51:20, 43rd place, 3:41 min/k average (thru 10k @36:40)
June - First Place Lake Gwelup fun-run 6k - my first every fun-run win
August - Perth City to Surf 12k 44:26 PB
November - John Gilmour track 10k, 36:36 PB
November - Penninsula 5k, 17:29 - 2nd place
December - Six Inch Trail Ultramarathon 3hr45, 2nd place
Less successful outings:
Boston Marathon - I think a misguided attempt to protect my knee by training mainly on the flat and grass backfired, as the quads exploded in the last 10k
Perth Marathon - just missed sub 3hr
Run For Gold 10k (July) - 38:20
Some great progress in running this year esp from Clown and Biscuitman, as well as TB
All the best to B'man for a great marathon in Houston

Congratulations thats a stack of PB's and your 6 inch performance was really outstanding. Not your year at Perth or Boston, but the signs are there especially with the 6 inch run where you beat a 2.45 marathoner by 4 minutes, and he PBed as well that a massive marathon PB could be just around the corner. all the best in 20 12!
