Took yesterday off, and did a short run today to wrap up my weekly miles.

I am now definitely thinking of trying for a half-marathon distance… I feel like it may take a little while to add on those 3.1 miles due to time restrictions for long runs that have been creeping up due to work & school. Soon though, I want to complete it before graduation…

Quick Feb. wrap up: I managed run 76 miles which was 8 more than January, and continued with yoga and boot camp.

One of my big goals for 2009 was to run a 10 miler. It was daunting, the longest I had ever gone was 8. That was, until today!

I had a really strong start for the first 5 miles and I have really been wanting to try ten. So, I decided to re-run the loop. And I made it!! AND HAD A NEGATIVE SPLIT!

I can’t believe that I was able to do this. Less than a year ago I couldn’t even run 1 mile, now I can do 10 times as much!

Now… what should my next distance goal be…?

Trail run– it was cold and windy for the majority of the run. Also, there was what I call “ice mud” which is mud with a layer of ice over it so if you step on it you slip and then sink, fun stuff! It didn’t help that I am starting to get a cold either. Good run overall though.
