I hope everyone's 2014 got off to a good start. Time to post your total January miles, and any PRs or AG awards if you did any racing, although January doesn't seem to be a big month for races.
This is a picture of my footprints and Tazzie and Ladybug's pawprints on my road yesterday:
I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.
I quadrupled my miles since December! of course, since I only ran 5 miles in Dec that wasn't hard
Off to a slow start with a lingering injury, but ended the month with 20.7 miles.

January 2014 looks like this:
Ran outside just twice this month, including the New Year's Day Polar Dash --> 14 miles in -8 F. A PR (1:41:49), but only because it's an unusual distance (the 14 miles was chosen, I believe, to celebrate ringing in 2014).
329.7 miles for January. LOTS of treadmill miles.
226.3 for me and I ran a XC 5k in 6" of fresh snow got 3rd AG and got a point for my team that also finished 3rd OA.
Thank Carolyn.

52 January miles for me!
goodness is its own reward; for more tangible outcomes, you need to try badness.

I managed 254.5 miles for January, all outside, about half on the snowmobile trail and the other half split pretty evenly between road work and the cemetery next to my office.
This ends up as my best January ever, my second best month ever, and I started it all off with 5:50 flat for my first timed mile since I was in high school in 1975 (back when 4:20s were more typical). All in all, I think it was a pretty good month.
Fat old man PRs:
Trails are hard!
Not exactly tearing up the road this month. 39.7 miles
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.
278.9 miles for me in January
Thanks wildchild!
Just a dude.
165.4 for me in January. More than twice my December.
Thanks!
