Feb is Done!

February has come and gone. And yes I know today is the last day, but tomorrow I've got a marathon and I don't want a list to get in the way of posting a race report.

Swim: 12,300 m 4 swims
Bike: 40 miles, 2 rides
Run: 94.2 miles, 10 runs, 1 marathon
Strength: 10 workouts
Yoga: 20 times

It felt REALLY good to get back in the pool on the reg. I can't wait to start hitting the RAM team practices 4 or 5 times a week for the 5 mile OWS training. 94 miles of running is pretty good too, just shy of my 100 mile target. yes. I'll take that. I missed a few Sundays on the yoga mat too. 20? not too shabby. I feel great, and I'm glad I got done what I got done this month.

The Umstead Trail Marathon is tomorrow. This makes 2 full marathons in 14 days trying to get a second star for the Marathon Maniacs. It's going to be a blast! I've been running in Umstead for years. it's going to be really fun to pull a full marathon out there. I've got the trail beard all queued up and ready to go! In fact, I snapped this during a test trail run last Saturday in Umstead.


Hopefully the weather will hold out! This pic it was 70* and sunny last Saturday. Tomorrow it supposed to be high of 49* and a chance of freezing rain. oh joy.

Good luck tomorrow! I love that you have your beard all primed up. Good for beer festivals and trail races... I have a friend from here running the 100 this year (I know it's a different weekend). It will be interesting to hear how he thinks it compares to our CA ultra races!

Nice! You are kicking it so early in the year! (I think I gotta move back south where the weather is warmer)

Feb was a strong month for you, especially since it included a huge marathon PR! I had a good month as well. I ran 33.5 miles which is pretty good for my first month back to running. My mileage will stay that low until I see my doctor in April, but it's a good base to build upon and I've fit in other workouts like walking hill routes on the treadmill and spin class. Hopefully the weather cooperates this month so I can also add in some hiking.
