Did a long-ish run just before lunch.  Wind was horrendous from the canyon so I cheated and had Kim drive me to the mouth of the canyon and I ran down toward Benjamin then she picked me up when I was done.

I did do the last 4 miles back toward SF where it was slightly uphill and into the wind so I it wasn't entirely cheating the whole 12. Felt pretty good, it's nice to finally feel like my conditioning is coming back.

Easy 6 mile hill run at work. Weather was a bit stormy/snowy but not windy so I didn't mind it at all.  Did 7 hill sprints toward the end.

Nice 8 mile recovery run mostly with Kim on a bit of a blustery day to finish out February.

Ran 7 miles at work on the treadmill since roads were still a little wet & slushy in places. Did 8 x 45s strides during the last 1/2 of the run at 9-9.7mph

Ten miles on a chilly morning with Kim and the SFRC.  Ended up being a mild progression run for me with the last 2 miles or so around MP.
