Due to lower back and Plantar F. problems, had 9 weeks of zero mileage. Also had 26 weeks of just one run per week. But somehow, I managed to struggle through 4 trail marathons and 5 races of a half marathon or longer. Ran 30 races, 10 of which were snowshoe races. Total mileage, 504.65 of which of which 300.65 were race miles and 204 were training miles.
