    20 miles today. Felt great and managed to do my las 2 miles faster than the first 18. We soaked in the ocean after which I think helped significantly. No soreness(yet ;) ).

    106.5/120 goal

    I love seeing all the pictures. Even the treadmills and treadmill selfies. :)

    @fabnine - thank you for the pace advice. I slowed down this week and it helped tremendously.

    @shanaber - thanks. Knowing it can be done even if I don't manage to get to 12 miles prior to the race makes me feel better.

    I've never used snowshoes, but from what I heard, 2+ miles in snowshoes hardly qualify as slacking :)

    @ddmom0811 - I love waterfalls, beaches, rivers and mountain vistas but you just may have the best running photo's yet. You live near a Paint the Trail project; that is so exciting. I'd probably run into people because I'd need to read everything while running.
    @Wendy1Fl - Careful it all starts with a 3 day streak, then 5, then 10, then 30 and suddenly you can't miss a day of running because you'll lose your streak. Joking!
    I'm glad your back is feeling better and even happier for your hopeful outlook.
    @briebee7 - 20 miles with a strong fast finish-Fierce! Run on sister! Bet the ocean felt incredible after that run & probably was exactly what your muscles needed.
    @tweekedgirl - Don't sweat the goal, rest the knee. I wish you a swift recovery and many more miles next month.
    @skippygirlsmom - up to 4.5 miles already? Sweet, No moss growing on you!

    The weather is horrible with sleet and snow and I wasn't braving the Y, although on second thought, I bet no one was there and I should have gone.

    But in desperation not to fall to far behind in my "mileage" I walked more than 2 miles in the house, 'round and 'round.. so I'm sort of cheating 2 miles. But I hope to make it up later in the week with real mileage. Looks like it'll be mostly treadmill with the weather.

    I should be braver in the cold. I'll have to expand err start a winter running wordrobe.

    @PurpleYFronts - Welcome! You could declare a goal for the last few days of February, you don't have to wait until March. ;)
    @HealthyFocused715 - I went snowshoeing last week; that is so not slacking!!! If ever I needed a GoCam that was the day! I had no idea what an ungraceful duck I was until I was attempting to traverse a mountain in snowshoes instead of spikes. You likely got a harder workout from 2.5 miles of snowshoeing than 5 miles of running.
    @bsalrye - Great Photos! I love the different camera angles. It was mid 40's here today too! Who cares about a little slush when the sun is shining and the world is warm again- right? Glad you got to run outside again!

    Took off 2 runs this week, putting me a few miles behind my plan due to soreness in my left knee, but it seemed to work out as I survived today's half-marathon.

    I didn't feel any knee pain during the race, and I managed to pull off a time within a minute of my half-marathon PR from November (with a 6 BPM higher heart rate), but I'll take a few extra days of rest to fully recover before resuming my marathon plan.

    2/1 - 2 miles
    2/3 - 4 miles
    2/4 - 7 miles
    2/5 - 4 miles
    2/7 - 7 miles
    2/8 - 14 miles
    2/10 - 4 miles
    2/11 - 7 miles
    2/13 - 4 miles
    2/14 - 7 miles
    2/15 - 10.25 miles
    2/18 - 5 miles
    2/22 - 13.1 miles (1:47:35 / 8:12 pace)

    Total: 88.35 miles
    Goal: 120 miles
    Remaining: 31.65 miles
