A Short Month

Feb is a short month, but I didn't run a lot this month. I was much less than 2 mi/day, and without some walks with my wife, I'd probably be about 1.5mi a day. The body is tired, I was sick the last week, and just struggling to get motivated to work too hard. I guess 4 days of skiing and a black belt test didn't help.

121mi for the year, so not too bad so far. Jan was a good month, but I'm not sure what Mar will bring, especially with a cold, wet, winter.

Day 1268

Sick, headache, chest tight. Put the treadmill down on 0 incline and pushed through.

Day 1245

An early lunch had me a bit full, but I needed a break from work, so I hit the treadmill. It was a struggle to go today, and from the first few minutes, I knew I'd need to slow. So I did a little over a mile at 1% grade and 6.2mph, just jogging easier. Around 16:00 I felt better, so I got up to 6.5 and a 2% grade to finish out.
