Hello March & February in Review

I wasted no time getting March going by hitting the track for the first time this season (the snow finally melted!) for a 30 x (20 sec hard, 40 sec easy) run workout. 20 secs all out over and over and over and over again start to hurt after awhile! I rounded out the morning with 6.78 miles.

So, Hello March! I have a feeling its going to be a good month, that is, it BETTER be a freaking good month! I have 4 weeks to basically annihilate my body to whip my ass into 70.3 shape!

Here are my February #'s:
Swim: 31500 yards; 11.5 hours
Bike: 350.46 miles, 20.5 hours
Run: 129.18 miles, 18.3 hours

I guess I could describe February as a rock solid month of consistent work. I swam 3X's, biked 4X's, and ran 5X's every week. This was a total PR month for run volume. Every week was a 30+ mile run week, with 35 miles as the highest.

So what else went on in February? I guess the stand out things are that I ran a 4 mile race in Central Park at the beginning of the month, and PR-ed the distance. I also got a creepy photo taken of me looking to kill the photographer:
Apparently running pants are not running fashion friendly...
Bacon will NEVER jump the shark. I fried a lot of bacon this month and fried eggs IN the bacon grease:

Breakfast of Champs!
Some A-Hole decided to hit me, then run for it!


And I bought a snorkel, and proceeded to make myself look like a complete dork ;)
Duuuuuuurrrrrrrrrr


How did your February go? Hit any milestones?

  6. Excellent numbers dude! We had similar months (as usual). That run volume is so impressive - you are going to be so ready for Galvestion and doing those 4 loops around Moody Gardens!

  12. The snorkel doesn't make you look like a dork. The snorkel head band is another story.

    I saw this morning on my way to work that the school track here was clear too. I can't believe I'm looking forward to running on a track again.

    You know what I love most about the breakfast picture?? The token grapefruit thrown in to healthy it up.
