Sunday, February 22nd to Saturday, February 28th
I ran 16 out 28 days in February, 89 miles, 5.6 miles/run
I have run 39 out of 59 days so far, 194.4 miles, 5 miles/run

Sun: 9.6 miles, 1:19:55, 8:19 pace, 1.5 x Seneca-Titus-St Paul-Zoo-2 Pond-Ridge run, 28F, easy, sunny, calm, 2 stops, no pain. Just an easy Sunday to prove to myself that I am not a slug.

Tue: 6.8 miles, 57:22, 8:26 pace, FF Cobbs Hill run, 20F, easy, calm, 2 stops, no pain. I took the back way to Cobbs Hill with 2 stops. But once I got there, I had no trouble with 3 loops and the run back on Monroe Ave. Strange.

Wed: 6.7 miles, Frenzied Late Night Crawl in the Woods at Mendon Ponds, 45F, easy, calm, multiple stops, no pain, 1 fall. A nice but exhausting night run on the trails with some running friends. Some of the trails were icy, my Yaktraxs helped.

Thu: I went out to Newark to work on my daughter's laptop. It had locked up on her on Tuesday so she abruptly powered it down. Well, it wouldn't boot back into XP. When she booted into Safe Mode, it was stopping at mup.sys. I Googled that and found that most people (not all) booted into Recovery Console and ran Chkdsk to solve it. Since I don't know the administrator password of her HP laptop from Houghton I booted from a BartPE CD to run Chkdsk. It took 2 hours, found some bad clusters (one in the software registry) and booted into XP with some slight hesitation on the first Safe Mode boot. She was happy ... no Internet for 2 days! If her laptop could boot from an USB floppy drive I do have a floppy that would hack her administrator password. I might test it sometime. I also really should dejunk it so it runs faster.

Fri: 4 miles, 31:56, 7:59 pace, FF Happy Hour run, 28F, easy to a little hard, a little windy, no stops, no pain. I started slow, then picked it up once I crossed Highland Ave. I was surprised at the pace, it didn't seem I was going that fast. I have a small bruise on my left hip where I fell on Wednesday but it doesn't bother me when I run.

Sat: I went to the Winter Doldrums, No Holidays, Im Bored, I need something to do Party out at Mendon Ponds. I brought some Wegmans Oatmeal Raisin cookies (being cooking challenged) as my dish to pass. I ate a lot of different food including some venison. Then I went down to Ithaca College to Michael's concert. A long drive. I definitely need to run tomorrow to run off all the calories from today.
