So what happened in February? Well I PR'd a half marathon and completed an Iron Week. That Iron week really turned out fantastic. And the half mary led to a wonderful weekend at the beach with my brothers. Here's the month's totals:
Swim: 11,480 yards (4.8 miles) including 2.4 miles in Iron Week
Bike: 203 miles including 112 in Iron Week
Run: 58.3 miles including 13.1 in Tybee Half and 26.2 in Iron Week
Strength Training: 45 minutes, 3 sessions
Yoga: 3 hours, 6 sessions
Wow, I really thought the totals would be higher than that. Final month of marathon training and all. 3 Tri Power workouts is pitiful. Should have been at least 9 workouts. 203 miles on the bike is pretty good though. And I'm loving the swim right now. Really loving the swim. But having 1/3 of the monthly total come from one run on saturday is not exactly "planning for a good marathon" in a few weeks.
I got tagged by JeepGirl the other day for this:
Here's the delio: go to the first folder in "my pictures" and scroll to the 10th picture. Post it and the story behind it.
It happens to be a picture of me holding Bigun the day she was born. Doesn't look like almost 5 years ago, huh? I've got a few more gray hairs now. She's certainly gotten bigger. Ok fine the first folder in My Pictures didn't have 10 pics in it, and the last one in there was a sample photo for some kitchen cabinets. This was the 10th picture from the 10th folder. I thought it was nicer.
I'm supposed to tag people too. But I'm totally going to cop out on that one and ask YOU to do it. I'm tired. I did some weightlifting (yes actual weightlifting) tonight and I can't lift my arms up anymore. It's 8:15 pm. Time for bed. Try to tag people (in the comments) that ran more miles than I did last month. That one should be easy.

I can't believe how much you have changed! So impressive!!
You had a big month and have an even bigger month ahead of you. Must feel good to know you are close to closing the book on the old house. Moving is a pain in the arse, but it's going to feel so good to be done w/ your old house!!
Aww great pic!
March is a crazy month for me too. Stupid moving!
tick, tock, marathon day is drawing near! March is gonna be a great month!!!
You are going to have a great month!
Big things for March! and a PR. Nice.
wow feb was an awesome month for you and looks like march will be another one :) keep up the great work!! good luck with the moving, i know thats stressful.
Aww you look like such a happy new daddy! Love it. You have definitely had a busy year thus far and looks like March will be the same. Raise the roof for PRing!!
I love that kind of tired/sore after a faboosh work out! Is that sick or what?
Wow what a great month of training!
Love the picture!
whoa february was pretty darn productive for you. and since i wasn't reading your blog when you got a 1/2 PR, i'll say congrats a little late.
Awesome picture... much better than the kitchen cabinets!
The numbers might have looked a little lower than you expected, but hell, you PR'ed and did 140.6 in a week! Sure it's marathon training, but you are cross training a ton and that will make you a better runner... I promise you that!
Good luck with the 10k. Can't wait to hear how it goes!
Awesome month! I think Ironweek is a HUGE accomplishment. I've certainly never biked that much in a month--just the 112 I mean. This post did make me calculate my Feb totals--I might be posting them soon. I have a feeling I'm going to start smashing all kinds of records with bike and swim miles in the months to come---running will probably not be as high.
Keep up the awesome workouts!
