March in Review

1 04 2012

March was awesome. I may have overdone it a bit, but I am still so happy with my awesome PR in New Orleans. I kept myself very busy this month. I traveled a bunch, I raced a bunch and I turned a year older. All in all I very much enjoyed March. Oh and I adopted a new kitty.

Running Overview:

Total Mileage: 119
Miles with Sara: 54
Total Year Miles to date: 325
Longest Run: 15 – We crushed it on the last day of the month. I can’t believe we kept a 9:30 pace.
Races:

The 15 miler is my longest run since August 2010. It felt really great to be able to do that and not struggle. I know I have said this in many blog posts, but I am still really excited about where my training is at. December, January, February and March have all been amazing. We had ridiculous unseasonably warm weather this month. I’m talking 80 degrees in March. What? Where did that come from? We also lost our morning light thanks to daylight’s saving, and it is just starting to creep back. We got a peek at the sunrise last week. Can’t wait for the beautiful sunrises again. One of these morning either Sara or I will remember a camera. I am not racing in April, at all. I am not letting myself sign up for anything. No 5ks, no 10ks, nothing. Just some solid runs as I prepare for the Wisconsin Half in May. And since I set a PR in New Orleans I may need to reevaluate goals, but I have a month for that.

Hello world!

Hi all!

I finally decided to start a blog. I did something crazy this past weekend, I ran Ragnar Chicago, so why not start a blog now. I wrote up this long race report with links and pictures and realized I don’t have anywhere to put it. This will be a running blog plus whatever else I feel like writing about. I must warn you now, I may post pictures of my kitten, I may rant about random things, I may need help with wordpress, I don’t really know what I am doing.

Take a look around, offer suggestions, leave comments, it’s up to you.

This is Stella. She does not photograph well. Her eyes always look a little creepy. She will most likely try to help me blog.
