February was an OK running month. I had to skip or shorten a few runs but that's pretty much par for the course when you have a baby and a preschooler. I tackled some tough runs and extended my long run to 12.5 miles. I also ran a strong 9.2-mile leg at the Winter Marathon Relay. So, overall, a decent month. Here's what it looked like:
February stats:
Running (miles): 84.3
Cross-training (sessions): 2
The mileage was lower than planned but it will be back up this month! I'm ready for some nicer weather and evening runs when it is still light out.

Ha ha... love that you referenced "T" in "E."
Awesome job in February! I say this all the time, but you really amaze me with all you do! It's hard enough looking after myself!
I can't imagine running and getting everything done and having two kids! You really are amazing! Hopefully march will be nice and sunny and with no snow!
Thank you for warmer temps and longer days, Mom!
You're doing a fantastic job with a new little one!
Yay for 16 Candles--the best movie era, if you ask me!
February was a great month for you - running a speedy race so soon after having your baby! I tried making cheesecake once and never tried again - so double fail, I guess! I'd love to try peanut butter and caramel.
Nice running in February! And that cheesecake sounds delicious! :)
Great post! I'm going to borrow it. :)
LOL on dorking out. Hey I played flute... I'm rightthere with you ;)
