Happy Friday!

Inspired by my disappointing mileage in yesterday's post, I ran 6 miles on the treadmill last night.

So, there.

Hey, Jude...

So, I'm not Catholic, but the past few days have made me wonder if there is in fact a 'patron saint' of lost causes... And there is, just FYI. 

February has not been kind to my running totals. The weather was briefly nice, but for a number of reasons/lame excuses, I did not manage to take advantage of any outdoor running time. And it's supposed to snow again this weekend.

So, yeah. February...
[sigh]

I did hit up the gym last night, though. I put in a pretty decent 4 miles on the treadmill, but of course, there was a guy on the machine right next to me running twice as fast for probably twice as long (he was still running when I left). It was good motivation to keep on keepin' on, though. Goals are good, right? In the meantime, it even inspired me to 'sprint' a quarter-mile in the middle of my run last night, just for funsies. 

I also recently caught up with an old friend the other night, and she suggested we run a half-marathon together later this year. Hopefully that comes to fruition as well. 

In any case, here's praying we get back on track in March!

I'm so excited!...

Here we are, already halfway through February and my totals a looking pretty pitiful. In my defense, things were a little hectic towards the end of January in to February. Not to mention the foot of snow... 

I've got a good feeling about the rest of the month, though. We're looking at highs in the 50s and 60s in the next 10 days, meaning I could do some real, legitimate out-of-doors running in the very near future! 

I'm sure we're not yet out of this Winter-funk just yet, though. Luckily, I just learned yesterday about this fabulous-sounding new fitness studio in town: RydeBarre. I'm most definitely going to check it out. 

And registration is now open for the May duathlon -- only 86 days away! GET EXCITED!!!

Alright, that's all for now. 

Stay warm!
