    Have an appointment with my Ortho Dr. tomorrow. There's a chance I MIGHT get off my crutches...which means, I MIGHT get to start running again!!! Fingers crossed!!!

    Hmmm... I think my 250-mile goal for February may have been a tad optimistic. Took a much-needed rest day this weekend; now tapering for a saturday trail marathon. We'll see. Still very much on track to complete my first 50-mile run at the end of March, though -- that's much more important to me than meeting a particular monthly mileage goal.

    Update:

    I am not going to make my February goal. Another month on the crutches. I see the Ortho again on March 7. HOPEFULLY, I can get back to running then.

    Can I sign up for a few miles in March to keep my place in the group?

    Sorry to hear it.

    That said, OF COURSE you can sign up in March. We all want to see you make it back, and you WILL make it back!

    Going to try for a "gentle" run tomorrow!

    @MelisRunning - fingers crossed for 7th! It's awful not being able to get out there isn't it!

    Hey everyone!! Hope everyone is doing well, and had a happy valentine's day!!

    Sorry about the cruches Mel, and glad to see you running Leanz!

    Did two halfs this weekend, did the first slow, so I would have energy left for the 2nd one, and I scored a 2nd place in my age group (that I will leave soon he he). The course was rolling, but not too bad, finished in 1:58 and had a strong finish!! I had actually planned on just doing 6 for the second, but when I got to 6 miles I thought i should go to double digits.. And then when double digits came along, I thought, heck I will just go the rest.

    And on a personal note: I ran this race last year - 2 days after my father passed (and he would have wished that), and did horrible, so this time - I felt that he pushed me along a bit. It felt nice.

    10 days left in the month. I updated the spreadsheet -- most folks are right where they need to be, with about a third of their mileage left. Keep it up, everyone!

    I added my miles for the rest of the month because needed to see where I was going to be right before Taper week. But it looks like with Taper week I will meet my goal this month YAY!!!

    Awesome!

    It's fine to pre-log miles; they won't show up on the monthly tally (the second page of the spreadsheet) until the date actually arrives. But if you pre-log and then don't actually run those miles, make sure you remove them!

    I broke my toe this past Sunday and I haven't been able to run since, but I'm hoping once the pain disappears completely I can still meet my goal.
