Happy Birthday Megan!

Ryan Hall to run Boston, US World Half Marathon Championship roster, Danny Mackey.

Friday, February 28th - ~6 miles.  Workout was 10 x 1 minute hard (mile pace effort), 1 minute off fartlek, and I ran at night doing the 270 route and to the trail and back with some change.  Nothing crazy to report, but my legs were still feeling the effects of Wednesday's workout and by the 3rd or 4th rep I was hurting pretty bad.  Glad to have this one over with. 172.5 miles in February, 329.5 miles in 2014.

Saturday, March 1st - 6 miles.  Out and back towards Home Depot on the trail.  Another sluggish run, and was struggling to get through it pretty much from the first step.  Kept about an 8 minute pace through the first 4 miles, then picked it up to finish it out.  ~7:45ish average pace.  At night, went out to Global Brew to celebrate Megan's early birthday!
Father and Son
Sunday, March 2nd - 8 miles.  Sleet run with Kyle on the trails.  Out and back towards Home Depot, and the trails were pretty iced up and some annoying sleet pelted our face on the entire way out.  Weather.com said 16 mph winds, so very annoying and very cold, but one of those runs that was a mental battle all the way.  Once we made the turn, it was a lot more tolerable and we picked up the last 2 miles slightly to finish it out.  Considering the option of running a couple more, but my legs were seriously toast.  The footing was terrible, and we were slipping on the actual roads pretty bad.  1:03:52 for the 8 miles.  46 miles this week, 14 miles in March, 343.5 miles in 2014.

Easy run tonight and tomorrow, then back at it on my quest to get fit again!  Today is Megan's Birthday - happy birthday to her!
