February was kind of a blur to be honest. There was good, there was bad, there was a lot of work, and more snow.
B and I went skiing with my mom. The Packers won the Superbowl. We watched my parents dog for a few days while they went on vacation (which is good, they needed one! but... so do I...) Taught my sister-in-law to drive stick and sold her my car.
Because... I got my dream car. Kinda. Meet my new ride.
A 2011 Chevy Silverado Extended Cab 4-wheel-drive pick up.
I say kinda, only because I wanted the blue one. And I need to have steps and bed rails put on. Otherwise, perfection :)
I've wanted a truck for a long, long time. Specifically a Silverado. It's massive. And awesome. And I can run over curbs and even the trash at the end of our driveway without even knowing it! (Ok, that's not so good, but I swear I've gotten better in the last month!) It was a little spur of the moment, although we had been discussing the fact we were going to need a biggest truck eventually anyway. And B can't (won't) drive stick, so only having one car we could both drive was getting old. Plus, B's sister needed a more reliable vehicle ASAP. And we got an amazing deal. Everything sort of just made sense. So now, we're a redneck two truck family for the time being. We'll see B's (little) truck eventually and get a car or small SUV. But for now, our driveway looks redneck.
At least mine is the big one.
Also, I turned 26 last month. I feel old. But, B got a whole bunch of our friends together at a local restaurant a few days before, which was awesome. I hadn't gotten a chance to see a lot of them in a while, so it was really great. My actual birthday... I went to the gym before work which was satisfying, but ended up working late, being cranky, and wasn't overly impressed with the day. Oh well. Presents? Yup, I got a few. I'll post about those someday, I'm all kinds of decked out in electronics and awesomeness these days.

On a different note, I've been successful in keeping up with my workouts. I won't post the calendar now, but I assume you I've been doing well! For instance, in the month of February I ran 52 miles. 52!! My previous highest mileage months were 37 miles in October and November. My half marathon training is going better than I thought it would. (And if you feel like donating go for it!)
I don't think I have too much else to say about February. Maybe because it ended 15 days ago and can barely remember what I had for breakfast today, so it's all pretty much all fallen out of my head at this point.
I still owe a bathroom renovation summary. But mostly I feel like talking about running lately, so stay tuned for some a lot of running babbling in the coming weeks.
