ETA - sorry Tramps it was just a poor attempt at a joke about what seemed to be the previous-previous post indicating that 241.4 km is equivalent of 322.3 mi. Just getting to do occasional Intrepid service for a couple of minutes a day when the boss is unavailable makes me appreciate how many hours and days are necessary for your comprehensive, informative and much-appreciated monthly totals definitely not needing to get diverted by silly diversions I sincerely regret. Sorry. - jon

I've just been doing the C25K and did W5D2 today! I've been doing it on time, and (maths not being my strong point) my nearest guesstimate as to number of miles run during January is ...... **fanfare**

7 miles (and that's hopeful!)

This is a personal best since I was in my teens. (Used to run cross-country in my early teens until the hormones kicked in and **rolls eyes** and **shrugs** just didn't care!!)

Today's run on W5D2 was 8 mins run, 5 mins walk, 8 mins run. This is the most running I have done since I was 16. And it's half past nine in the UK, I've had two glasses of Chablis and I'm still awake enough to type! Must be good!!

Yaaaaaay!

Tammy,

I thought of you all during my Feb. 28 treadmill run. Really.

I started with 113 miles, and I couldn't decide whether I should run 11 miles, and finish the month with 124; or run 12 miles, and finish with 125. I asked myself, "What would Tammy do?" I know how you are, and I didn't want to push you over the edge into a full-fledged OCD fit.

First I thought, "Well, 124 seems like a nice comfy number." And it is: observe the digits 1-2-4, and notice that 1 doubled is 2, and 2 doubled is 4.

But then I thought, "125 is a cube: 5 x 5 x 5. Whereas 124 is only 2 x 2 x 31. Not nearly as nice as 125."

I have a lot of time to think on the treadmill.

So for a few miles I was pretty happy with the idea of 125.

But I kept thinking, because I had plenty of time for it. And I thought, "February has 28 days. That's exactly four weeks. If I run 124 miles for the month, that is divisible by 4, and gives me exactly 31 miles for each week."

And that seemed nice.

But then I thought, "Doesn't a perfect cube beat four of a kind?" I don't play poker, so I wasn't sure. Anyway, I don't think they have cubes in poker. So I reasoned it out: in poker, they probably value a hand according to the rarity (unlikelihood) of the cards a person holds. That's why three of a kind beats two of a kind: because it's harder to get three of a kind.

I decided a cube was probably rarer than numbers divisible by 4. So I was back to 125 miles as my preference.

But then my right hip and right knee started hurting, and I decided to bag the run at 11 miles, giving me a total of 124 for the month.

We think our minds are in charge, until our bodies speak up.

Job hunting, interviews, etc. are definitely taking a toll on my running. I just want to get back to a "normal" life, whatever that may be.

Thanks, Tramps!

Huh? I have no idea what this means. I've got you down for 39.3 miles unless you post otherwise.

ETA: no problem; I just had no idea what that first message was all about.

I haven't read through this thread, but I'm pretty certain I will be last again but that's perfectly fine with me. I actually had a plan to get 8.6 gutsy and determined miles in over the last three days of February, but the weather hasn’t been too kind here in SW MN. Oh well, at least I went out and ran 6 times this February. Twice it was with wind chills way below zero. That's a good feeling.

Thanks Tramps.

February was 46.8 miles (better than last year)

YTD is now 98.3 (better than last year)

So I am at 98.3 miles towards my year goal of 1000 miles

As well, I have run 30 days YTD towards my year goal of 250 days.

March is preparation for my first HM in April

Good running again this month! However, the weather, illness, and injuries did seem to take a toll, resulting in more modest numbers. Do not despair, Spring is coming!
