It's time again to post your February miles! I know most of us are sick of winter, so I picked a photo to get you in the mood for spring running. This thread is not just to post your miles. We can see everyone's total miles in the "reports" link. Please feel free to add your thoughts on how your February went, and what your plans are for March. Tell us about your running, swimming, cycling, skiing, yoga, ... whatever keeps you sane! Of course, only the running/walking miles will be tallied... Along the lines of March plans, I'm going to Japan for spring break with DH and DD, so I won't be here for the March Boomer Miles thread. Any volunteers for next month?

Thanks a million Wildchild! The photograph is marvelous and I find that I am sitting here just staring at it! Hi Tammy---happy to see you here! February miles were/will be: 263.3 Race PR: 10 miles 1:15:12 on 2/24/08 February went well as far as running goes and I also managed to maintain 3 weight/abs/core/strength workouts per week (in my home gym aka the guest bedroom). My mood wasn't always happy as the winter seems to be wearing on me more than usual. There were many gorgeous days actually with blue endless skies and sparkling snow---and yet, I am just tired of the ice, bitter wind, travel delays, sand, salt and crud all over the floors, wah, wah, wah. I know, it could be much worse---whining over. March running plans include ramping up the mileage a bit more as the Boston Marathon looms and topping out at 74 mpw. I have lots of work travel on the docket for March, so I'll need to focus even more. I'll run a 20 mile race in late March and will do one of the super long runs on the Newton Hills (March 15 or 16). I also need to get more sleep! CNYrunner

Going to squeeze another run in tomorrow before I post. TammyinGP, I'm impressed with your January log can I have some of the drugs you use please so I can run 11 second mile pace. Don't you have problems with the soles of your shoes melting?

Nice picture WildChild. I've not been logging. The schnappsis. Cheers. Began Feb with 3 days totaling 46 miles Then tapered two weeks ending with 50k++ (actually about 34 miles) Sore, then sick a week. Finished with 12 this week 135 miles jjj

186 for me.......a great month including mt first 30.15 mile Ultra. Now, I am trying to get rid of some mild shin splints...on the right shin.....so FAST running is out of the picture.... EVeryone...have a great March...

After my 3-mile run tomorrow, it will be 88.6 miles in February for me, a PR by far. My gradual increase of mileage is working out great! As always, you guys and gals really inspire me to keep pushing further and harder than I knew was possible. I'm hoping to get to 35mpw before too long!

Thanks, Wildchild! My first full month on RA, since I'm resting Fri. I'm at 171. Ramping up my mileage for San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon. I'm happy - I got up to 50+ mpw and ran a decent HM. Want to be up to 60+ by the end of March and run a couple more races. One race I'm not sure I'll do is the Pacific Coast Trail Run in Montana de Oro park near San Luis Obispo. It's only 15 miles from my house, so I run a lot of long runs there, but the 12K has over 1,600 ft. of climbing It's a beautifu place to run, so I'm posting a pic from the top of Valencia Peak looking out to the Pacific . . . you can see the trail running along the spine down to the ocean (or up from the ocean). Very peaceful - but you do pay for the view on the climb . . . There are some other great pictures at http://www.pctrailruns.com/Montana_de_Oro_Wntr.htm It's been a great help being on RA and reading about everyone's runs! Thanks for the motivation! Steve

February was a good month, all my minor injuries seem to be behind me. March will bring final preparation for Boston, with April a taper month. 194.5 miles in February 369 miles YTD I did complete a PR week of 56.2 miles in the first week of the month.
