This December I had one of the highest for biking and running, for the two combined it was the highest of any December. This is exactly what I wanted to do. I did alot of work at a high intensity, which is something else I wanted to do. Jackie and I attended the LA Fitness Sunday morning spin group, and that was a very good workout. I went in with some doubts, but it proves to be a very good workout. The guy who runs the workout does a good job and is not too obnoxious. I barely swam this December, which is fine, because I substituted with strength, which is what I wanted to do. I will start Masters swimming again in Jan and hope to continue with strength work.
The "other" in the table is 30 minutes of elliptical.
We also did a "Boot Camp" workout at LA Fitness and that really kicked my ass. A totally different kind of workout that I should do more often. It is a mix of cardio work and strength, using body weight and small hand weights. Most of the workout is done in place and you go from one exercise to the next in rapid succession.
Below all my usual workout data tables is the comparison of 2012 to previous years.

Comparison of Year-to-Year Totals
My year-to-year totals for swimming and biking were the lowest since 2007, running was pretty close to last year. Running has been pretty similar the last 3 years. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I don't think I need to increase time too much, would just like to keep intensity up. I would like to see my swim about 90 hours, bike around 100 hours, and run above 60 hours. While maintaining high intensity. I am happy with my strength time and hope to continue to maintain into June, typically I quit strength in April or early May.
In a few weeks I will put a post for my 2013 goals. Overall, I am happy with what I have done this year, it might not be my best year, but I did a lot and worked pretty hard, which is what counts. Now, on to 2013!
