February challenge - week 2

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

[personal profile] blnchflr - 31.2/55 km = 57%
[personal profile] ridicully - 30/75 km = 40%

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

Remember, elite runners do run/walks, too, they just call them intervals :) ! Don't fear the walk, it can help you in the long run (pun unintended).

Hope your knees get better. I'm trying to use a balancing board daily for my own bum knee/ankle, but I'm not sure I'm seeing much result yet - then, I am only doing it for 1-2 mins so far, as when I tried doing it for 4-5 mins in the beginning, my knee started hurting like whoa. But mayhaps it's time to go to 2-3 mins…
