February recap

I’ve been very neglectful in my postings this month. That’s mostly because on the topics of running, hunting, and gardening there isn’t much going on. At least much that seems worth writing about.  This update will be only on running and basically a recap of February

Running:
I finished February with a total of 254 miles and 479 YTD. This is slightly higher than last February, and keeps me in the ballpark of where I want to be heading into the spring season. The last 4 complete weeks I ran 62, 67, 61, and 66 miles.  My streak is still intact in that I have run a minimum of 5 miles every day this year so far. My longest runs were only 12 miles. From here forward I will be attempting to increase the distance of at least one of my weekend runs. This past weekend I did sign up for the IceAgeTrail 50K race in May. On Saturday morning I noticed a Facebook post that mentioned only 15 more openings for all races. It forced my hand. I quickly signed up and made it just under the wire. Shortly after there was a post saying registration had closed. Looking afterward I was the last person to sign up for the 50K. Now if I can get the proper training in over these next two months and stay healthy it should be lots of fun. I will need to decide over the next few weeks if I will run the Trailbreaker marathon the first weekend in April. If I can get my long run increased close to 3 hours I will consider it, otherwise I will just keep working towards the 50K in May.
