February Challenge Recap

Happy first day of March!!  Last month I took on two challenges:
1.  To run at least a mile every day
2.  To participate in the #FEBphotoaday challenge


Let's start with my mile-a-day challenge...

As you can see from my chart, I ran every day with the exception of one day, February 21st.  But, look at it this way--this year was a leap year so there was an extra day in February, and that missed day doesn't really count ;)  Seriously though, missing one day isn't bad.  I definitely had some stronger days, and there were days I had IT band issues and toe issues.  But I logged the miles nonetheless!
Best mile:  February 15th @ 9:42 pace
Worst mile:  February 9th @ 11:25 pace
Overall average:  9:55 pace
I had fun with this challenge and I'd do it again.  But for today, my legs are happy to rest :)


Now onto my #FEBphotoaday challenge:
Here is the list:

Every day you take a picture then post it to Twitter, Facebook, whatever outlet you choose, and hashtag it with #FEBphotoaday.
Here is my #FEBphotoaday compilation:

February was a fun month with these challenges!


Did you take on any challenges in February?  Will you in March?


Happy Thursday!!

February Mile a Day update

February is nearly half way over, so here is a quick update on my February Mile-a-Day challenge.
I have logged at least one mile every day this month, with a few 2 or 3 milers and one half marathon (Feb 5th).  Here's a little chart to illustrate my times (these times are only for the 1st mile of any run):

Here are some stats:
Best mile - 9:42
Slowest mile - 11:25 (I was having some blood blister issues under my big toenail after the Surf City 1/2 marathon and this day hurt the worst...it still hurts but it's definitely less painful!)
Average pace - 10:28


Love,
Mags

February Challenges!

Happy February!!


I'm excited about today for a couple reasons:
1.  Today is the start of my mile-a-day in February!  I've pledged to run at least one mile every day!  I kicked it off this morning with a 10:13 mile at sunrise.  I felt great!
2.  The #FEBphotoaday challenge begins today!

And here is my day 1 photo from my run this morning:

Day 1:  Your View Today - taken on my sunrise run this morning

3.  I start my spring semester of grad school tonight with my Capstone Course!  I'm so pumped, because I love my classes this semester and it's my last spring semester of my MBA program (I graduate in December, yay!)


Are you partaking in any fun challenges this month?
