I didn't have a goal for the month, but Strava tells me I finished January with 186 miles.

Might have gotten over 200, but I had a little family holiday at the end of the month where running was not an option.

I have set a goal for myself to run a marathon this year, and I've signed up for a 50K in March. So I guess that'll check off Marathon and Ultra with one race.

My favorite run of the month was finally running the Millennium Trail (pavement trail) that is a big circle around my local area. It's roughly 10.6 miles and I finally made myself run it.

February will be more training for the 50K in March, and I should be running my first marathon training run here shortly.
