Totals: Month Ending February 2010

Not a bad February except that I didn't hit some of my mileage goals due to illness and heavy workload at the Real Job. Highlights were a 14-hour workout week the week of Feb 14 and the better than expected time at the Hamel 5K.

Also a highlight was getting 'My Story' published on USAT official web site. In fact, it is lead story on today's (3/1/2010) home page.

In looking ahead to March, I hope to keep my mileage up even though I will miss some days due to business travel. In looking back to last year, I was out riding on the road on March 21. I just hope I can get out with the bike in March again this year and start racking up the mileage.

We'll be in Arizona from March 19-26 and I will be running a 10K on March 20...the first day of spring! The run is on unpaved trail so I'm looking forward to see what I can do with about 20-lbs less clothing.

Question for the locals - Best outdoor track to get in some repeats? Robbinsdale is closest for me but is always locked up and I hate jumping the fence. Anyone know of a local outdoor track that has public hours? Wayzata? Osseo? Does anyone meet as a group to do repeats (200, 400's, 800's, etc)?
