I wasn't going to bother posting this, but I looked back at the reviews since 06 and it's nice to see what I felt of the year at the time:
January: Matilda bay 10k 37:30 - OK race in hot/humid conditions
Feb-April:
Started a new marathon program with record mileage peaking 146km week
Plantar fascia tear with a couple of weeks off and a couple more building back up
May:
Back in Mara training peaking again at 146km week
HBF Run 14k 51:01 - 24sec PB
June:
Lake Gwelup FunRun 6k 2nd place and 5 second PB
Perth Marathon 2:51 - 6min+ PB
August:
City to Surf 12k - 45:25 - disappointingly slower run
November:
Newcastle parkRun 5k 18:00
John Gilmour Track 10k 36:23 - 10k PB
December:
SixInch trail marathon 3:47 - slower than last year/limited preparation
So overall a success with breakthrough Marathon PB after a couple of years stagnation, and a small 10k PB without specifically training for it.
Goals for 2013:
Marathon 2:48 - definitely at Perth but potentially an April marathon also, depending upon training and logistics (maybe Bunbury)
10k sub 36 min
Stay Injury free & sustain 4 consecutive weeks of 150k running
Lesser goals - PBs in HBF run, City to Surf, 5k, SixInchTrail Marathon

Glad you did post! Congratulations again on the breakthrough 6min Marathon PB! Fantastic PB run at the John Gilmour 10k too, and another elite effort at 6 inch too, a worthy! top 10 performance, and in the early years would have been enough to win it! Spartan and redspike honours approaching after consistent improvement since 2005!All the best with injury management/avoidance and going after some 150km weeks.
