February Miles: 80.7
2019 Miles: 162.0
February began with a head cold, another birthday, and snowmageddon in Seattle! Seriously, we had 4 snow storms in less than 2 weeks and there was SO MUCH SNOW everywhere! This is not typical for us at all. Since I train on my treadmill, all of these challenges did not keep me from running (except one day when I had to reschedule another appointment due to snow). I have been running regularly since returning from marathon weekend, but still feel like I’m not quite back in full training mode.
I have two races scheduled in March, the Hot Chocolate 15k tomorrow and the St. Paddy’s Day half marathon in two weeks. I have been trying to shift my training focus from endurance to adding a little bit of speed work. It hasn’t been long enough to see any improvement, so this month’s races will be a good test of where I’m at. Did I mention I had another birthday last month? They sure aren’t making this running thing any easier!
