2018 Year in Review - Running PRs

Today is the last day of 2018. So, now is a good time to review my personal records (PRs) that I accomplished this year. I ended up running the last few days to try to stay in shape for next year, so my mileage total has gone up since the last post. Otherwise, long story short, it looks like I made improvements in my long runs, but just couldn't get faster times in the short ones.

1K = no change, still at 3:54 from 2016 (my best attempt was 4:02 in 2018)

1M = no change, still at 6:32 from 2017 (my best attempt was 6:35 in 2018)

5K = no change, still at 21:44 from 2017 (my best attempt was 22:30 in 2018)

10K = no change, still at 47:53 from 2017 (my best attempt was 48:40 in 2018)

Half-Marathon = 5 minutes and 11 seconds faster, 1:45:23 down from 1:50:34 in 2017

Full-Marathon = never been attempted

Farthest Distance = 1.19 miles farther, 16.20 up from 15.01 in 2017

Total Yearly Distance = 1,263.58 miles in 2018 up from 1,000.05 miles in 2017

2018 Year in Review - Final Stats

My running in 2018 is officially over. There are only a few more days in December, and the weather is horrible. So, I don't plan to do anything until 2019. Now is a good time to review my running stats and personal records. I had a great year and completed my huge goal of running 2,000 kilometers (1,242 miles) by late November.

Final 2018 stats:

Runs: 280
Distance: 1,253.27 miles
Total Time: 194h 14m 51s
Avg Distance Per Run: 4.48 miles
Total Calories: 170,889
Avg Speed: 6.6 mph
Avg Pace: 9:17 min/mile

Here is my monthly breakdown:

Great Fun for Everyone

I've been playing some great video games lately, most of them developed by indies. On PlayStation 4, we have Slain, Inside, and Axiom Verge. On Nintendo Switch, we have Golf Story, The Messenger, Bloodstained: Circle of the Moon, and SteamWorld Dig 2. So many fun games, and many are fine for the whole family to play together. These last three or four years have been great for gamers.
