Training log February 2009 -- gearing up for spring races

Home from a fun day out on the trails.

So I am starting to gear up for my spring races that are rapidly approaching.

From a voicemail I left for John one Sunday afternoon while out running: "In case I don't show up at home this evening just letting you know where I'm at. I parked at the Great Falls Visitors Center down in Virginia and am out at least 7 or 8 miles west along the Potomac River on some trail that I've never been on before. Haven't seen anyone or any houses or anything in at least 45 minutes."

Total running mileage this month - 182 miles
Avg miles per day (excluding 5 days I was sick) - 7.8 miles
Most mileage in 48 hrs - 36 miles (8 mi Feb 13th, 15 mi Feb 14th, 13 mi Feb 15th)
Longest training run - 16 miles on Sat Feb 21st in Great Falls Park Virginia (2 hrs 45 min)
