March 2 – 7.38 miles March 3 – 3.02 miles March 4 – 5.03 miles I’m going to set my March goal at 100 miles. This morning the weather was 48F and I got out early enough to watch the horizon light up – my favorite time of day. The only traffic I encountered on my 5 mile outing was the school bus passing by. Just me and the…

@7lenny7 - that would be a great place for you to stop and run. Depending on when your race is next month, the bubble of hikers heading north should be thinning out some. In any event, I'm sure most of them would be happy to step aside with their heavy backpacks and let you pass plus each hiker always has an interesting…

I haven't seen the movie but I've listened to the audiobook - loved it! I could really relate to the guy who thought his backpack was a little too heavy and started chucking his food over the mountain. I felt like that more than once! Great streaking! Rest day tomorrow?

Looks like I will be finishing the month with 66.9 running miles. I didn’t quite reach my 75 mile goal but I’m good with it. I’ve been out climbing mountains on the Appalachian Trail for the past few days. I hiked 52.50 miles up and down the mountains of Georgia. My right ankle is a little tender from so much trail time so…

No running for me since Tuesday as I decided to join the colonoscopy bandwagon and had the prep day and then the procedure yesterday. Off to the AT today for a few days of backpacking and camping. Welcome @codygirlfriday! Glad you got good bioposy results @daria0919. Good luck with the Brighton half @TheMrWobbly and good…

Good morning all, I ran 5 miles with a friend this morning. It was a bit chilly at 25F. I was happy to get in my car and turn the seat warmers on when we finished! @martaindale - Good luck this weekend! @Scott6255 - Hope you're achilles continues to give you no pain. Do you think it was those new shoes that you tried that…

Today I met a friend and ran 9.48 miles with her. It was 35F with a 10mph wind that made it very chilly. I then waited a couple of hours and ran 6.25 miles. It was 34F then with the same winds. Not exactly the same timing as my race will be, but I got the mileage in nonetheless. Like @martaindale I've been feeling low on…

I ran 5 miles this morning with a friend. The temp wasn't bad at 34F. Congratulations on your backyard ultra @eleanorhawkins! The real question - would you do it again (minus the roasted veggies and chickpeas the day prior)? @polksagirl01 - I too am enjoying the adventures of the guinea pigs. So tragic about the man who…

Yesterday, I got in 3 5Ks (one at 9:00 am, one at 10:00 am and one at 1:00 pm). I had planned to do 4 but other people had plans for my day also and it didn't exactly go as planned. All good. Sometimes you just have to roll with it. @quilteryoyo - So sorry to hear about Gary's passing. He was so blessed to have you step in…

No running today but I did ruck for 4 miles on the city streets at 5 am with 4 other friends. Happy Friday!

Nice! I love my Injinjis!

I started off the month with 5 miles this morning. Setting my goal at 75 miles as I'm planning on a backpacking trip on the AT for a few days and although I will be getting the miles in they won't be running miles. Speaking of shoes, yesterday I listened to the January 24 episode of Doctors of Running. In this episode,…

I was torn between clicking the Inspiring button or the Hug button. Either way you are amazing and I hope you feel stronger and more rested soon!

I finished up the month with a 5 mile run this morning bringing me to 86.3 running miles for the month. I didn't set a goal at the first of the month/year. TBH, I have a hard time setting goals and all the talk of monthly/yearly goals just overwhelmed me so I checked out for a few days! Given that this was the month of…

@martaindale - I sent you a friend request. I'm going to be in Rome for a few days this summer and wanted to ask you a question. Hopefully I am remembering correctly that you vacationed there last summer! If not chalk it up to my old age memory!

I ran 3 miles at our local park at lunch today. The temperature was 32 and it was windy. We had some snow flurries earlier this morning but they didn't amount to anything. Thanks for setting up February @AlphaHowls!

I continued my Peyton's training today and ran 3 5Ks. The rain was predicted to start around 8:00 am, so I started my first 5K at 6:00 am. It was cloudy but the big bright moon was still shining through the clouds and the temp was 43F. I started my next 5K at 8:00 am and actually saw the sun shining for a few minutes. The…

Loved reading about your quilting history @polskagirl01 and those quilts are absolutely gorgeous! My mom quilted when I was growing up and I spent many a winter’s day cutting out pieces for her to quilt. She sewed a lot of our clothes when we were younger and would use the scraps of material to create quilts. Years later…

Yesterday, I ran at my local park at lunch. I was able to get 4 miles in on the snowy trail before it all melts away. It was cloudy but the temperature was 46F. This morning I met a friend at 5:00 am and we ran 5 miles. It was 37F. The sidewalks were mostly clear but were still a little slushy in places so we would have to…

I ran 5 miles at lunch today while the sun was shining and it was 37F - a virtual heat wave! A lot the snow melted today but we still have a lot on the ground. Tomorrow is supposed to be a little warmer so that will help to get rid of it. My grandmother would say that the snow is "laying around waiting on more to come." I…

No run today but I did walk 3 miles on the treadmill. It's supposed to be 10F in the morning but I plan on working from home and at lunch it is supposed to be a balmy 33F so I will venture outside then! Welcome back @ContraryMaryMary! Hopefully, your lingering cough will soon run its course and you can get back to running…

Since I have such a hard time using the treadmill and the weather outside is frightful, I decided today would be a good day to start my training for Peyton's Wild n Wacky 50K. I'm doing a 2-person team again this year, so I will be running a 5K every other hour for 10 hours. So, after my resistance workout, I got on the…

I waited until lunch when it was 28F and ran 5 miles. The road was mostly clear but I had to dodge icy patches here and there. It's supposed to snow another 1-3 inches starting tonight. Love all the pictures! @shanaber - Your photos reminded me of my time backpacking in Zion, Bryce and Escalante two years ago. Glad you…

I manage a 2-mile run and a 1-mile walk on the treadmill during my lunch break today. Come on Spring! @shanaber - Nice that you all could get away for a few days. Hobbes looks like he is ready to head back south!

I would have taken it as a sign to go back in the house and stay home! I bet your fingers were frozen @Scott6255. I imagine that it's hard to do much mechanic work with gloves on. @quilteryoyo - I don't think our mail ran yesterday. I guess they used their extreme winter weather button and stayed safe and warm.

Yesterday, it snowed off and on all day. After I did my strength workout, I went outside and ran 3 miles. My road had about an inch of snow on it so it was slippery going but the temp was 26F and I was plenty warm. This morning we have 6 inches of snow and the temp was 16F with a feel like of 13F and it’s only going…

We ported in Key West and Bimini Island. Drinks were good. Food was meh!

I’m on a cruise island in the Caribbean today but I did five miles on the ships treadmill this morning before docking. Heading back to winter weather tomorrow and I am not excited about that in the least! Good luck tomorrow @martaindale!
