February has really flown by, even with the extra day this year the month seems like it only started yesterday! It has been a pretty busy month for Team Cross as we continue to settle into our new digs!

With the dawn of the new month I started my training for the Earth Day Half Marathon. You can read about my weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4 of my 12 week training program. It was great to be able to start running with a local running group on Saturday mornings. I also dissected some of my training runs, which helped me understand them a little bit better while also hopefully giving you some new ideas! Here are some of the things I talked about: Supersetting, Hill Repeats, and Biking as a form of cross-training.

I finished my series about my new Garmin toy, but couldn’t help post this funny Garmin map which showed me running on the Mississippi River.

February was also a fun month playing on Facebook, Hucking a Marathon, going nuts, and watching the Lunar Eclipse. I just wish I could earn $2 million by racing!

My training totals for February are:

Running: 121.1 Miles or 15:57:20 hours

Bike: 54.4 Miles or 3:11:52 hours
