    If you have time on your hands and don't want travel you end up setting up and running an event like my brother has, which started opposite his house! peatlingchallenge.co.uk/

    This looks like a perfect race for @7lenny7! Not sure he would be willing to fly to the UK to run in it though! 😁

    @shanaber and @TheMrWobbly that mud looks absolutely lovely!

    Where is @7lenny7 ? I haven't seen any posts from him lately. I hope he is okay.

    Thanks for the mention, @quilteryoyo . I'm doing fine and will soon be back. Life just gets in the way some times.

    A rather paltry January for me. It was my lowest mileage every for January, finishing at 63 miles. Reason for the lower total include continued recovery from my ultras last fall (at least that's the excuse I came up with), deciding not to run when my college son was home because it took time away from being with him, and a crazy work schedule that finally seems to be easing up.

    I did run one race, the Securian Winter Half Marathon in St. Paul, MN. My intent when signing up was to actually train for it and get a PR, but that didn't happen and though I did beat my revised goal (based on my lame training) it was my slowest of the three HMs I've run, but I'm happy with it. My time was about 1:56:27. My PR is nearly 5 minutes faster than that.

    February is going much better and I'm up to 112 miles already, including my first 50K of the year. I'll post about that in February's thread.
