@stoshew71 - thanks for starting the new challenge!

@vintageMatch - that's really good for your second month!
@skippygirlsmom - wow, so great you hit your goal with recovering from your injury!
Such impressive mileage on here! All this talk about new shoes and I realized I'm due for new shoes soon! I think I'll wait until my daughter is here for spring break and we will both get new ones at the running store in town. Of course, it might be nice to spread the cost out a little, maybe I should just go now.

I think taking the extra few rest days earlier in the week did a good job of getting it close to back to healthy (before I did it in from the race). Still, going into the race, the plan was to take a pulse 1 mile in and either pull out, or go for it. Not sure if the adrenaline was part of it, but I really didn't feel that bad on the course, and it only started aching when I finished.
Taking 5 days off from running to help it fully recover, but putting in about 220 miles on the bike this week, giving my 8 mile pace run a shot tomorrow, and my 17 mile long run a try on Sunday if I don't feel any residual soreness by then.0 -

Kinda underset my goal this month (along with being crazy enough to keep running!). But March will be harder since I've having surgery on the 6th, and will be down for at least a week (they say 2-3 weeks, but I'm stubborn) and only walking for awhile to get built back up.

@stoshew7 - I noticed the March challenge is under Introductions. But as long as we know where it is! I remember there is a way to save a group or thread as your favorite but I haven't done it in a while.
Oh that's not what I wanted. LOL I will see if I can have it moved to Fitness and Exercise. Thanks for pointing this out @ddmom0811

My cycling friends call that ride or die, because if you can't keep up they'll leave you for dead. You kept up!Feb 28 - 34 mile bike ride - I wasn’t dropped for the first time ever! (which means I kept up with the group of riders). Each week I have made it a little further before I couldn't keep up and this time I stayed the whole time! Tomorrow is a 5K and hopefully it doesn't rain!
That is an accomplishment to be proud of! You'll be great in your 5K tomorrow rain or shine!

I ran 3 miles this morning when it was 12 degrees out. I have major respect for those of you that run when it is colder. Brrr! I'm a little short this month but considering I was really sick for a little over a week and all the problems my autoimmune whatever has been causing me, I am pretty pleased for continuing to be consistent with running.

Alright last day! Here's what I did this month:

Took till the last day of February but I ran to my goal.
@dennie24 3miles at 12degrees is a cold run, especially if you're not used to it. You did great this month! Hope to see you again in the March challenge.
@Whtmask You ran 95 miles past your goal for a total of (*) 235.5 miles (*) That's fierce. I'll admit it, I'm a little jealous. Can't wait to see what you'll run next month.
