The Facts: Gore, who normally trains in Miami where he can spend time with his children during personal offseason workouts, joined 49ers teammates last Thursday to be a part of the team's nine-week offseason strength program. "I'm happy to be back out with my teammates, seeing some of the guys from last year trying to do even better than what we did last year," Gore told 49ers.com on Monday. "It feels good to be back out here with the guys. Everybody's looking good, looking focused. I feel like it's going to be a good year."
Diehards Line:In 2011, Gore surpassed the 1,000-yard mark for the fifth time in seven seasons with the 49ers. Gore's 1,211 rushing yards, which included a franchise record of five-straight 100-yard rushing games, also put him atop the team's all-time rushing list with 7,625 career rushing yards. ... Gore applauded the 49ers front office for adding key play-makers through free agency and the draft, but extra depth on the offensive side of the ball won't change the veteran running back's determined mindset for 2012. In Gore's mind, there are still bigger and better things for him and the 49ers ahead. "I want to show it off that I still got a lot left in my tank and I can play at a high level," he added.
