See you all in March

2/26-Rest Day
2/27- 5.3 miles 3X1600s at 7:15 pace+ stretching
2/28-4.6 easy miles
Finishing off the month at 150.2 miles out of 120 goal, but I only did 5 of 8 strength training/P90X sessions and 6 of 12 yoga/stretching, so I fell short on the most important part.
Yesterday was speed work. Plan called for 3X1600s (mile) at 7:20 pace. I did the first two at 7:15 and the last one at 7:05, but they were much harder than they should have been. I am noticing the increase in mileage on my legs and I really need to focus on slowing the pace for my non speed work runs.
This morning was supposed to be an easy 6. I got out earlier than normal with Stella for a walk and then a run. We must have hit it at the prime doggie walking hour, because we ran into all of the neighborhood dogs on their morning walks. Stella enjoyed her encounters, but it set me behind schedule enough that I wasn't going to get in all 6 miles. I was going to do 5, but I was right at my house when I hit 4.6, so I decided it was birthday karma ala @katieJane83 to do my age on my b-day and I called it a wrap. Coincidentally, it also put me right at 150 miles for the month, so I guess it was meant to be.
BTW, thanks everyone for the early birthday wishes! Hope you all have an amazing day.10 -

@MobyCarp I hope you stick around with us in March, but understand if you need a break. I've been there myself.1 -
Happy birthday @lporter229 and @KatieJane83 !
A late 8 miles for Kody & I last night. I finished up another chunk of streets in my quest to run this town. Unfortunately I missed 2 small streets so I'll have to get them on another run. That's now 5 small sections I've missed.
The streets highlighted orange are the streets I've run in my town so far this year.

Although February was a wet month, it was mostly rain and not a lot of ice and snow for us. Congratulations to everyone who got out there and ran this month!
Upcoming Races:
April 7 – Cooper River Bridge Run
May 6 – Pittsburgh Half Marathon
September 7-8 – Blue Ridge Relay

Made my February mileage goal easily this month!
It doesn't make me feel so good that I have close to January total miles (198) with less days and taper scheduled for the last week of February.
I should have been sticking to my training plan more in January. I ran a lot of short Easy pace days then.
I hope everyone's healing fast, staying healthy, and running happy!
I'll give an update and goal on March's thread.

I had a good midday run to wrap up the month. It felt much better than Monday's run, likely because I made a point of eating closer to when I was heading out. I am pretty sore from my training last night. We did high step ups to a single leg on a soft bench - so demanding on all the leg muscles! Glutes, hips and hamstrings to get up there and then calves and ankles to stabilize once there. I am short so the step up is a challenge and I also have issues with my ankles collapsing. Orthotics help when running but with step ups I have to really focus on keeping my ankle stable. SO HARD! It is a great workout and something I really need but man I felt it the entire run today. I did stop at mile 3 to stretch out my hips and that helped a bit.
@_nikkiwolf_ - Thanks, I have ordered a pair of each to try them out (love Amazon Prime!). My only concern with the Xtenex is that they may not fit through the lace holes in my shoes. On at least one pair they are not the normal round holes but more narrow and rectangular for flat laces.
Happy Birthday to @KatieJane83 and @lporter229!!
@hanlonsk - YAY!! Welcome back to the Running!
@Ryokat - Hope you are ok after that fall - sounds like it could be painful!
@RunsOnEspresso - it is cold here for So California too, especially at night! I had to bundle Hobbes the Vizsla up in a jacket for our agility class the last 2 Mondays. He doesn't have thick fur and no under coat so he really gets cold when he isn't moving around.
@amymoreorless - Hope you are feeling better! The flu this year has been tough!
@mobycarp - I hope you do stick around just to post what and how you are doing. It is great inspiration and I for one love reading your posts.
@7lenny7 - I think that is awesome that you are going to run your entire town! You might need to have a t-shirt made (I run this town or something)!
Congratulations everyone who ran this month or got out there and did other rehab exercise (@elise4270), whether you made your goal or not!

@lporter229 Happy Birthday!
@MichSmish Congrats on some incredible mileage
And congrats to all who took part this month; a truly inspiring group!
Today's weather was pretty warm, and pretty humid, which made for a harder run when combined with tired legs. Still, I got in more mileage this month than I would have ever thought during recovery, so I'm super-chuffed about that...especially considering that it was a short month and I took a week off completely for on-call support at work. And so now on to March...where is this year going already!!?

Goal = 87 miles (average 5km per day)
Actual average came to 5.53 km per day
Ended February with a hill workout tonight. 30 minutes of hill repeats - half way up, easy back down, all the way up, easy back down. That "all the way up" part was loooong. I also swam this morning and took the dog for a long walk so I am worn out and ready for bed.
Great job this month, everyone.
