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.

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.
