Back to back to back 70's

Running:
February is finally over.  The weather was pretty strange this month.  Nothing really uncomfortably cold, just cold and nothing even approaching a warm day.  None the less it turned out to be a pretty good month of running.  This week I was able to reach 70 miles again.  This is the first time I have gone 70 or more miles three weeks in a row since I started marathon training back in 2004.  The scarry thing is I feel good.  I hope this means good things in the coming months.  To recap Friday I got out for 6.5 miles in the morning and then 5 miles during my lunch break at work.  Total running time 1:34:56.  On Saturday I made it out for 15 miles in 2:3:44.  This is the same route I've run several Saturday's this year.  It was the fastest I've run this so far.  This was despite the freezing drizzle that was falling almost the whole time.  Parts of the roads were very slippery.   I knew I needed 15 more to get to 70 for this week.  I started early and did 6.5 on the treadmill and then ran my favorite outside loop for 8.5 to make it to my goal.  Total running time on Sunday for the 15 was 2:03:08. 

Through 2/28:

Gardening:
This weekend I got to burning a large pile of brush I had accumulated since last spring.  Lots of twigs and branches from a maple tree I cut down and from pruning several others.  When the flame got going it was quite a fire.  I think a couple of rabbits aren't happy at the moment that their house is gone.   Also got a start on pruning my fruit trees.  Still have quite a few to go, but I should have at least a month to get it done.
