Missed January by like 8.8 miles. Booo illness. I originally planned to bump up 5 miles each month when I hit my goal so February would have been 55 but I am going for 50 again. I've scheduled out 55+ but plans sometimes change. I have two 5ks one the 10th and one on the 18th.7

Take one
and subtract oneI’m in this month! My goal is 300 miles!
equals 100 miles. = 160km's goal. Based on the last 3 months - that's not going to happen.AlphaHowls wrote: »I will keep the 200 mile goal for the month and see what happens.
Realistic goal 100km based on the last 3 months being bad - so in a building phase again.

The early part of this month should see the stress fracture in my shin fully healed, and already I've been able to increase mileage with zero pain. Although I won't be following 80/20 running like I used to (at least not for a couple of months), I know my shin will allow me to run increased mileage by simply keeping things steady.
With that in mind, I'm going to try for 140 miles this month. I suspect I'll get more than that, but there's realistic goals, and then there's stretch goals. 140 is a realistic one.8 -
Didn't get as far with recovery as I wanted in January, but at least I didn't set myself further back at any point. So, goals for February:
Nominal challenge goal: 100 miles. This is a guess; I would not be shocked to miss it, and I would not be shocked to be well over it. Just depends on how recovery goes.
Real goals: Transition from recovery to base building by end of month. Give myself a chance to start and complete Boston 2018.
Reminder to self: Do not feel guilty if taking a DNS at one or both of the February races I'm registered for turns out to be the right thing to do for recovery. There will be other races that are more important.

February goal: 50k / 31 miles
My husband has a new job working long distance with overseas people in a different time zone - last month they just happened to schedule literally every mandatory meeting, all at different times on different days, to conflict with a planned run. So one of our goals for this month is figuring out what running schedule is going to work for us. Last month he managed by going without sleep, which is not going to work long term.
Here's hoping February has better weather than January had, and that the flu doesn't catch any of us!8 -
I'm going to stick with 80 in Feb. It felt just right for January. My road 10k is on Feb 10th, and I have to put together some kind of plan for my trail 10k in April. I'm the kind of person that needs a plan. Still aiming to do my long runs on trail for at least 6 miles, if not up to 8.
Thought for about a second switching my 10k trail to the HM trail, but I want to experience a shorter trail race first. My trail race later in the year I'll consider doing the HM based on how this first one goes. It sure is fun running up mountains!
I've gotten lucky with weather here in Denver. Hoping that spring doesn't muck it up too much. Plus, February "the month of suck" could still throw some major sub-zero days at us.7 -
I am in for 150 miles (ish). I have a half scheduled for March 4th. I also want to pick up the yoga classes again this month. I only went once in January! Very unlike me... stupid work schedule.9

I'm in for 40 miles.8

I’m here still. Still not running. *boo*.
Ankle is back to a full range of motion finally, but that means trying now to get it stable within that range of motion. And got rid of that wretched popping or whatever it is. They also got this country girl’s attention when they started discussing the state of my navicular bone in addition to the tendinitis. Navicular, to me, is an entirely equine related word, and not a good word. Next doc follow up is towards the end of February, and I’m not sure if pt folks will clear the running before next doc visit or not.
So, that being said, goals for February
Get cleared to run, for real this time.
Stop being lazy and get back to the gym in some form.
If I’m dumb and don’t do one or two, backup goal needs to be to eat less.... but that is perhaps even less likely than the other two.9 -

Thanks for mentioning that blog! I need to go read it! And everyone else probably should too.4 -
I'll be graduating from Couch to 5K and will start the Bridge to 10k. I calculated my mileage should be 35 for the month!

I took an extended break after my last marathon in Oct. I'll save the details of the ups and downs, but I'm detrained and fat again. At the moment, I'm not focusing on weight loss. I'm going to focus on diet (not calories) and exercise. As I'm in a state of transition with muscle training (becoming fat adapted again), my goal for Feb. is going to be fairly low. So will March.
February goal: 65 miles9
