The extent of my racing for March will be as a volunteer for a beer race. i have been dealing with a hip flexor injury for too long so my major goal is to finish healthier this month. Then I can start training for 26.2 in April.
My only other goal is to weigh the same or less since I will be decreasing mileage.
Uffda

2) I think I altered one run to recover from the 10K and then today was an URD due to sickness...not too shabby I guess
3) Meh
PRs: 5K 22:59, 10K 46:54,HM: 1:51:15
Phew, I didn't set any public goals. Well, I finally raced and I didn't screw up, so I guess that's good.

Rocked it this month!
1. Done! I did every single workout even except I swapped out one tune up race (did progression run with HMP miles instead), and hit my mileage targets every week.
2. Yes! 1:26:15 with negative splits, slowest mile was mile 1.
It was also my first over-200-mile month.

Well, March starts my racing season (if you want to call what I do "racing"). I have a 15K on March 9, and I will likely be running a 5K on 3/16. Otherwise, I'm looking at about 100 miles this month, with a couple of long runs towards the end of the month, 2-3 big hill training runs, and about 1 interval run a week. Sort of "standard" stuff. My next big race is April 20, another 15K. I want to keep my training aimed at the 15K to HM range of race.

Well, I did the race and PR'ed which was good. On the other hand, I am way short of 100 miles having run only about 72 miles in March. Part of it was due to the recovery week after the race (calves were screaming the days after the race), but weather had an effect on the two middle weeks in the month as well. I took a trip to Ohio for a few days and enjoyed a daily snowfall and minimal mileage during my stay.
Still, I'm not dissatisfied. I'm back up in mileage this week and will be for the next 2 weeks before tapering slightly for my second 15K on April 20.

I'll resume running in March, the right way. I intentionally have no races scheduled for now, I just want to focus on getting my shit together.
Well, I appear to have my shit together at this point, whatever that means.
I've been doing stretches almost all month that are designed to rehab runner's knee. I will see how it works out in the long term, but so far so good. I no longer run with a knee brace.
Mostly harmless
March 1-15: Stay injury free and don't go taper crazy. March 16: 3:55 at Rock and Roll DC March 17 - 23: Rest, recover and eat too much. March 24 - 26: Ease back into running March 27: Register for Marine Corps Marathon March 27 - 31: Start obsessing over MCM 2013.
