My monthly fitness goal for February was to run 50 miles. Unfortunately, this did not happen. I ended up running 34.21 miles in February. As I mentioned in my last post, February was just sort of a bust for me. I was having a really hard time getting motivated to work out this month. I think the toll of the cold, short days was finally getting to me. I also felt like my time really just slipped away from me this month, in exercising and in all other parts of my life. I'm really hoping to turn things around in March and start getting my time more organized, especially because I am busy almost every weekend.

My legs have been totally dead ever since I ran that 8:30 mile earlier in February; it feels like I am running with bricks strapped to my sneakers. While they may have been strong enough to do it and I didn't aggravate any old injuries, they might not have been super ready for running that hard. I don't think I've run a sub-10 mile since then.

Workouts...
February 24: 2.5 miles in 28:00
March 1: 5K in 33:13
