Easy start to the week, five on the treadmill at the Y (also a bike ride to and from work, and a few minutes on the stationary bike while I waited for the machine). Ran a bit quicker than usual, 7:41 to 7:30 miles after an easy one to start. 39:00

Shorty this morning. Had to get off the treadmill early because I was running late. In more ways than one. 7:35 pace.

Five at the Y, took a mile to feel comfortable but eventually a good rhythm and pace. My right hip felt a little sore on the outside, so I concentrated on it in stretching. As February ends I'm realizing it's about time to get back outside in the a.m. The gym is nice for a few cold months and to build up some base, but it's starting to wear on me and by the time the sun is up I have the itch to get on the street. Still, I feel good at where my miles are as the month (and hopefully winter) comes to an end, good solid start to the year. 39:10

Nice morning on Beach Drive, even felt a little warm (not shorts warm, but pleasant). Great sunrise, orange and pink light and the mountains. I ran with Henry because Mike is on vacation, we were still shooting for that elusive 7:30 pace. Our first two felt faster than usual, I guess he doesn't ease into the run as much as I do. But we were able to stay pretty conservative on the way out to the six-mile turnaround, I was dragging a bit because I haven't slept much the past two nights. The splits headed out were between 7:10 and 7:25, then a little quicker on the way back, with one wild one (6:49, seems like there's one every week). But I loosened up and felt good coming in, so that's what matters. And we had a big group of Slugs there, most I've seen in awhile for breakfast. Good day all around, and another month at 100 miles, if just barely (but it was only 28 days). Ready to start March. 1:26:41.
