    @k80fec: Congrats on your 10k. I think that i
    And the 10 miler are perfect long distances. You should be proud of yours of no matter what your time.
    @Dean: I am looking at hanging up long distance training. At least till I can put the proper training in for it and let things heal. Perhaps I will just work on short mileage for now. But I will definitely be cycling. I just hate riding in this area because of the traffic. I will have to be creative.

    Feb. 26: Winter is back. Adding 15.51 miles of cycling.
    TTD: 331.88 miles

    Congratulations going out to 2essie, lovemyalex, k80flec, amazingmummy, and scarfe9991 for making goal!

    @k80flec - Congratulations! I, for one, would be quite happy with your time. But most importantly, did you have fun and do you want to run another?

    @clepant - I'm so sorry to hear about your knee. A bad run is one thing - you can try again another day - but an injury is very worrying. Let it rest!

    Boy oh boy, sunshine at breaky. Warmer temps beginning of Mass. Cooled off considerately after Mass. Then the PNW weather got going. Thunderstorms, pouring down rain, freezing rain, hail, back to freezing rain then snow. Now we are waiting for ice storm. Grrrrrr, makes road riding impossible.

    02/22 - 20.0 miles CycleOps Fluid 2 Train (training for the Classic going well)
    02/23 - 20.0 miles CycleOps Fluid 2 Train (hard session, 20 miles @16 mph on the big ring hard gear. hard like climbing)
    02/24 - 20.0 miles CycleOps Fluid 2 Train (training for the Classic going well, just hope PNW weather holds)
    02/25 - 13.0 miles road ride (and froze my *kitten* off, will finish on the trainer)
    02/25 - 07.0 miles CycleOps Fluid 2 Train (after freezing decided to get warm on the turbo)
    02/26 - 20.0 miles CycleOps Fluid 2 Train (hard session, 20 miles @16 mph on the big ring hard gear simulates climbing)

    Total: 464.0 miles

    @BeLLe_60: I LOVE your pic!!! Your dog looks euphoric with your touch!!! Melted my heart.

    I was so busy going to girls b-ball games & attending a funeral yesterday that I did not get in any miles. Today I walked 2 (wanted to go more but was underdressed for the COLD wind). Did an hour of Tabata & 4.75 on the ex bike. I will hit goal in the morning.

    4.2 miles, I actually ran two outside, straight down the main road of my subdivision, I forgot how hilly it was. And how long the trip is back, when you decide to walk it.

    And you were right, that's GOAL for you, @VHUBER!!! :star: And also for you three as well, @LISAH8969, @WANDERAN and @KARID1114!!! :star:

    @CLEPANT - Looks like you hit a major milestone of 15,000 MYAC miles!! :drinker: I hope your knee heals quickly and with some time and the right mix of things, it will allow you to run shorter distances again.

    Let's try this again. @k80flec: Congrats on your first 10k run. You should be very proud of your accomplishment and not be concerned about your time. You finished what you set out to do. That has always been my running goal. My hubby will always say so if you had a goal what would it be and I always tell him to complete my race without injury. Some people get really wrapped up in PR's and in reality you can never predict how things will turn out. You can do everything right and have a bad run. Just like my weekend training run. It all went wrong and I did a lot of walking to get through it...yet the week before was great. Weather, how you feel, race conditions all play a part. As Janet said, did you have fun and do you want to do it again? I sign up for races so I have a goal of just getting to the starting line. It keeps me focused on working for something. Keep running and remember how many people never even get off the sofa and start. You are awesome.

    Feb. 27: Adding 10.5 miles of walking 4 miles and cycling 6.5 miles
    TTD: 342.38 miles

    @Dave and Janet: Thanks for encouraging words. And Dave I did not realize I hit 15,0000. That made my day and you gave me a new color to boot.

    @clepant, living with aches & pains sure isn't fun! We are at an age when we want to do these things for our health but now can't do them cuz they cause pain to our health! ironic huh? I'm going to get my knee checked out by a specialist ( a suggestion of my chiropractor). He is thinking there is a tear. LOVELY! You have been so diligent with your runs that your body may need a much needed rest! take care.

    I did get in that treadmill walk tonight (3 miles).

    @clepant and @JTH11706 - thank you for your kind and encouraging words.... indeed my goal was to finish (hopefully not last). I booked a sports massage for the 27th to deal with any problems AND there were none!! The training paid off. I now need to plan my next 10K and I'm going to start a 10m training plan ..... just because.

    I do have my next race booked for March 18th - a 5K trail race in the Lake District. It will be wet and muddy (oh and hard work!)

    AND Bah Humbug to the orthopaedic consultant who was concerned about my getting past 5K because of ankle surgery as teenager (the root of all my running injuries). It just goes to show what a structured approach can achieve.

    ETA .... and @clepant - don't rush the knee. Plenty of cycling will be a poor substitute for running .... but I find it challenging and even fun ..... sometimes.

    @k80flec - you just made my day. I am so glad you are ready to do another 10k and even a 10m. As to your time, I thought of something I'd like to add - not just for you but for all of us out there who worry about not being fast enough. Your running pace is like how much money you have - you can always want to be faster or richer, but no matter how fast you get you will never be Usain Bolt and no matter how rich you are you'll never be Bill Gates. So stop driving yourself nuts about all the people who are faster and richer and be grateful that you're not slower or poorer!

    Also, to Clepant's words - the most important thing is that you got to the starting line. Over the years I've really appreciated this quote, "The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start."

    As for me, it's very humid here today so I decided not to run. I rode my bike to the post office instead - 7 miles round trip. That finishes the month with 110/75. See you in March!
