Snow seal
Well, somehow I missed February. Likely something to do with it being a shorter than usual month, although this year was the leap year or leap day as Kobi and I affectionately call it.

Happy Leap Day
All was going quite well for me running-wise until I forgot how to check my weekly mileage and unknowingly jumped from 32km a week to 42km then to 50km. The week of 50k was where things went spiralling downhill. I actually started spiraling at 42, but I didn’t want to acknowledge the pain so I opted to wait until the pain was not going to let itself go unnoticed.
This is all thanks to that bony hook in my heel. I think I’m going to name my heel spur. Maybe we can develop a more cordial relationship if we’re on a first name basis. “It” was tolerating runs over 10km, but I think “It” prefers 2 days in a row off every 2nd run. Now I know. Hopefully this doesn’t take longer than a week to settle down because us runners are an impatient lot.

One of our rest days
Kobi and I did have some great runs through February and were enjoying the balmier temperatures. I have to admit the snow conditions have been tough, as in very sand-like. March is only going to be worse as March is that month where all the seasons fight for territory.

Kobi likes to eat and run
In closing, here are some highlights since I last dropped in: I had a bone graft and dental implant – now that was a whole new definition of fun, a few sleep-overs with one of Kobi’s besties – Zola the Rhodesian Ridgeback with an overbite featured above and below, and I got my CGI Level 1! That’s short for Climbing Gym Instructor. Yup! That means I can teach y’all to climb at an indoor climbing wall now! Run-on and climb-on folks!

Kobi and the amazing Zola
How was your February? Did you leap on leap day? Help me pick a name for my heel spur, vote on one of these or suggest a new one, choices are: Captain Hook, Sid, or Wolverine. That’s all I got.
