February 25th - Crap day, easy 10 miler.
February 26th - Snow Day from Hell. AM easy 3 miles in snow and slush.

- PM travel to the armory in NYC for 2 hours, sit there for 6 hours and then run my first indoor track 5k in over two years. Ran 15:28, not too sure of the splits but I got out there and raced. Kept an even pace throughout and picked people off one by one. Really happy with the race considering the long day I had. Oh Yeah, the race went off at 10 to 10pm, I am almost always in bed at that time. Then long travel back home.

February 27th - 7 miles easy peasy.
February 28th - 16 miles over the Kings Park 15k course, several different ways.

82 miles for the week, 331 miles for the month of February (11.9 miles per day average) and 707 YTD miles. 2010 is shaping up to be a solid year of training. Lets see what March has to offer.


Next up on my plate is the Kings Park 15k, it is over a challenging 9.3 mile course through the hilly roads of Kings Park. Here is a look at a Course Map. I am really looking forward to this race, it will be a good indication of where my fitness is as I head towards the Long Island Half Marathon at the beginning of May. I have no goals for the race other then to run hard and get out there and compete.

I will check back after the Kings Park 15k which is Saturday March 13th. Check here on the day for the Results.
