February challenge - week 2

[ilanarama]

We're now halfway through the month (as of yesterday) - how far have you come, mushers? (Be sure to specify if you are giving your total February miles so far, or last week's miles only to be added to the first week. You can count today or not, as you like.)

If you didn't sign up but you want to join our virtual Iditarod, feel free to post your miles, and I'll add them in.

I'll post on Monday, or when everyone's chimed in, with a progress bar for everyone and a progress map for the group.

The story so far:
ilanarama - 46/200 miles = 23%
thalia - 0/35 miles = 0%
semielliptical - 10/45 miles = 22%
silveraspen - 3.5/50 miles = 7.0%
cadenzamuse - 1.25/15 miles = 8.5%
ell - 46/140 miles = 33%
temve - 51/120 miles = 43%
meri_oddities - 30/100 miles = 30% (this one's easy :-)
calico_jane - 0/35 miles = 0%
linaelyn - 17/50 miles = 34%

blnchflr - 31.2/55 km = 57%
ridicully - 30/75 km = 40%

We are (in aggregate) currently 242.8 miles into the Alaska backcountry, twenty miles short of the Nikolai checkpoint.

38.7 km so far in February - have only been on two short runs since the 18.75 km run, which was a bit hard on my ankles/bum knee.

Partly as consequence of that, I decided maybe it was time to get new running shoes - I've been running in my Nike Zoom Structures 13 (icon) and 14 for 3-3.5 years now O__O

Long story short, I'm waiting for a pair of Asics Gel-Kayano 19 to arrive - and thinking about getting a pair of Nike LunarGlide to alternate with.

I hope the new shoes work for you! I have also considered the LunarGlide but haven't tried them yet.
