March recap
Thursday, 31 March 2011 - Written by Mury [profile]
Not a bad month. Could have been better, but I think I toe'd the line pretty good considering the Achilles issue and the ankle impingement. I didn't let the terrible weather hold me back much, if at all.

As far as goals go, I pretty much hit all of them with the small issue of not quite hitting my mileage goal. Even so I ramped up the mileage significantly over the last four months. I'm not going to sweat that one.

Nov - 0

Dec - 10

Jan - 31

Feb - 47

Mar - 85

My ave training pace was much better this year over last year, and my ave HR was lower. I could use a bit of work on the weight, my buffer is running out fast.

I easily hit my goal of doing long runs of 5,6,7 and 8 for the month. Did 8.25 today to finish off the month.

April goals will be to do at least 100 miles and long runs of 9,10, and 11 miles. In addition, all the other standing yearly goals, ie weight, pace, distance, etc.

I'm hoping for decent weather finally. I really only have one option still for outside running. It's getting old. I'm yearning for some of my favorite routes to de-snow.

Hi Chrissy :)

Good ol Minnesota. Just checked the 10 day forecast. At least it doesn't look like there are any days with a high below freezing, even though we have more snow forecast for tomorrow. Hopefully in a week most of the snowpack will be gone. I'm sure the state park trails will be messy for awhile, but the Gateway Trail is paved, and just being able to add that route would make me happy for awhile.

Your month-to-month progree is amazing. You should give yourself a big ol' pat on the back!

I, too am really looking for an end to ice, snow, sleet. My work travels take me all over during the work week, and while it has been nice to squeeze in small runs where the weather is mild - - it sure would be nice to that same weather for the longer runs on the weekend.
