March is almost over and since many of us take Monday off to rest up from our LR's, I'll start this month's Mileage thread today. Please tell us the miles you ran in March, no matter how many or how few. Every mile is important and especially so if you've been injured and just coming back. Be Proud! Post every mile. Also note any and all PR's you may have achieved during March. Be Proud of these as well! Many of you are more than happy that Winter is over and Spring is finally here, if only on the calendar. So pretend this is you and a favorite running partner running in the flower filled field.

Many of you have been hitting the training pretty hard getting ready for that little race in Boston. You are now probably tapering, and undoubtedly happy about that. You are all going to Rock Boston so much. Here is a photo from the Wellesley Tunnel of Screams - the Wellesley girls are probably training their shreaking voices as we speak.

The deadline for posting March miles will be the end of day on April 2nd. I'll try to get the totals posted sometime on the 3rd. Bill

Because of one, I've been at a relative standstill again since the 18th, but at least I'm in good company. Smile

88.3 mi. I'm thrilled. Three months ago I was running in the very low 30s for the month due to no sleep with my son's teething. Well, he's still teething (the boy is slow!) but I've figured out that I really don't need sleep to run about 20 mi a week. It's really a lifesaver! MTA: PR 10 Mi-- 1:31:03

Congrats Deez! This is also my highest monthly mileage. I doubt I'll run tomorrow, so after my long run today, I'm at 142 miles for March. I think prior to this my highest mileage was around 107 or 108 and that was about 4-5 mos ago.

Monthly mileage, a PR: 205.6, holy carp!, only about 44 miles more per month than I have ever run! Half marathon PR: 2:07:49

171 for March, 384 YTD--I had to take most of February off 'cause of pneumonia. It's nice to feel back in the swing of things.

Getting back into some serious running after a 1/2 -assed hiatus. Just very sporadic over the last few years since ACL replacement. I was training for the Boston Marathon 6 years ago when I tore my ACL in a basketball game at the end of March. Serious bummer. Anyways, I'm prepping for some upcoming 5Ks and eventually will try to tackle some 10Ks and the Falmouth Road Race. I don't know about Boston for 2009, but we'll see what 2008 has in store for me. I was hitting the Cybex Arc Trainer for the most part in February and only logged 6 running miles. I increased that to 37 miles in March...22 of those miles in the last week since I cut out the Cybex altogether on March 24th. Looking to hit 100 miles or more in the month of April as long as the knees continue to hold up Wink

I'm going to add some Fartlek training and some speedwork on the track next week. Cheers! Glenn
