    200 miles for the month

     

    PR my 10 mile race.  Same race/course as last March, so a real apples to apples comparison.

      Simple, be consistent.

      Running for TJ because he can't.

       


      Dad on the run.

        - 100+ Mile month

        - 5K PR

        - weight train 2x a week at least

        Chasing the sub 20 5K.


        From the Internet.

          Every time I participate in one of these goal threads I get hurt... Tempting fate this month because my running's been going well, finally :P

           

          - 80 miles for the month

          - Finally make some progress on bench press, and maybe overhead press too if I'm lucky (which means eating enough food. Sub-goal: eat all the food! Gain a pound, even!)

          - DON'T GET HURT!

            Hey guess what, I did all of these, go me! Big grin 98 miles for the month, 85 pound bench press, sore and tired but not injured and still running!

              My right foot becomes healthy

              Run 80 miles for the month

               

              My right foot became healthy.

              Ran 101 miles.

                For me

                • More long runs around 14-15 miles or get a little more comfortable with 15 miles
                • Average 30-35 mpw
                • Stay healthy
                • Stay injury free
                • have fun and enjoy running
                • Keep praying for Spring

                   What about you?

                 

                •  I got a 16 miler in there, woohoo! And yesterday's 15.5 miler doesn't have me sore at all today or last night!
                • I probably averaged 33 mpw during March
                • Still healthy, I think
                • No injuries.... I think
                • Definitely had fun and enjoyed running
                • I think there is hope for Spring

                  To at some point completely rid myself of treadmill runs, which would require a snow melt of biblical proportions.

                   

                  I have not run on the treadmill since 3.14.  Aw shit, strike a pose!

                    • Yes, but only by 6 seconds
                    • I *think* this put me in 2nd place for my AG
                    • I'm at 215 plus what I run tonight

                    I'll take it.

                      - try to run over 75 mpw without bringing back the plantar fasciitis in my right foot. (done)

                      - Survive a LR of 24 miles on the TM, without a potty stop. (I survived, but had to stop for a pee. I swear it was quick! )

                      - Hopefully run a 10 miler as a time trial, once during the month, in a better time than I've done in the past. (Failed. 70 seconds slower)

                      PRs: Boston Marathon, 3:27, April 15th 2013

                              Cornwall Half-Marathon, 1:35, April 27th 2013

                      18 marathons, 18 BQs since 2010

                        1) To teach my cat that if he worms into a tiny space above the open garage door, and I then put the door down without knowing that he's in there, he will be unceremoniously and hilariously ejected into the driveway from about 8 feet up.  Nailed it on day one! (He has not done this since.  However, he has crept out onto a curtain rod, slipped, and been rescued while hanging by his crossed paws.  He has also climbed into the laundry chute and gotten stuck, requiring extraction by his pet human.)

                         

                        2) To remember what color my car is under the "salt grime grey".  It's black... my rugs are crusted in road salt though.

                         

                        3) More racing, less freezing. Done, and done

                         

                        4)  Cut down on caffeine and alcohol (already started in Feb.)  Yes

                         

                        5) More quality at distance. Sort of, several LRs were not good, but yesterday's was.
