Where did January go?\u00a0 31 days into 2010 and it is just starting to feel normal to write 2010.<\/p>\n

February was a better month for running. \u00a0While generally I struggle with the motivation to get up and run, especially in the morning, I doubled my monthly mileage from January. \u00a0February saw 35.4 miles added to my shoes. \u00a0I hit double digits for weekly mileage at 11.9. \u00a0March should be a good month to continue ramping up the mileage. \u00a0My longest run was 6.5 miles with the guys on a sunny, Sunday morning. \u00a0February also marked the one-year anniversary of having Plantar Fasciitis, check out my 18 steps to try to get rid of it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve set a few random goals for the year:<\/p>\n

Run Around All Named Bodies of Water in Minneapolis<\/strong><\/p>\n

I didn’t add any new bodies of water, though I did run the Get in Gear loop two times which takes out a section of the Mississippi River.<\/p>\n

Read the Entire Bible in a Year<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was tough this month. \u00a0Partly because February only has 28 days, but also because this month included reading the entire books of Exodus and Leviticus. Luckily, the legalism of the Old Testament is balanced with reading from Matthew and the grace found in Jesus.<\/p>\n

Read a Book a Month<\/strong><\/p>\n

I failed on this one. \u00a0I picked a small book called Enjoying Prayer<\/a>. It is only 140 pages long, but the format and topic made it a little hard to finish. \u00a0Its setup to read a chapter at a time with thought provoking questions, not like a novel. I should finish it soon and get a book for March.<\/p>\n

Blog Regularly<\/strong><\/p>\n

I only posted 4 times at my personal blog, oops. \u00a0I posted regularly on here and that’s more important for you! \u00a0I did make some updates to my blog theme. \u00a0What do you think? I continue to do well on my Project 365<\/a> (taking and posting 1 picture a day).<\/p>\n

Other things of note…<\/strong> February was a busy month all around. \u00a0It seemed like there was something going on almost every night. \u00a0I’m on the board of the Young Non-Profit Network for the Twin Cities (YNPN-TC<\/a>) and we had a busy month welcoming new board members.<\/p>\n

One Post<\/strong> this week is about Running Groups,<\/a> I really enjoy the group I run with.<\/p>\n

The most popular post<\/strong> in February was Treatments of Plantar Fasciitis<\/a>, again!<\/p>\n
