#rcfebruary2016

Everyone in the runner’s club :)

So now is probably a good time to mention my March goals: I finished February with 44 miles and I’d like to beat that in March so I’m gonna go for 60 miles in March. Here’s to hoping that works out. (: 

So running in February was halted due to toe injury. Fortunately I can walk ok now woo! Mostly without any pain! So I will definitely be getting back to the gym this week! March is going to be a busy month, submitting my PhD thesis, so I probably won't make as many gym sessions in but I'm going to get my yoga on at home. Need to amp up the training in April to make sure I can do the 10km race in May! Hopefully taking a few weeks off won't have had too much of an effect!!! Hope everyone had a wonderful end to Feb and are looking forward to March!

I had the most perfect run today!!! It was warm and sunny with a pretty stiff breeze and everything looked beautiful! I hit some hills, pushed my pace the entire time, and ended with my fastest mile. 6.5 awesome miles!!!

OK, probably not really, I didn’t get lost or fall down or hurt myself or anything. But it was way too windy for the speed work I had planned, and Charity Miles glitched and recorded zero miles, and my headphones died halfway through, and the training app I used gives zero history/stats so I had to map my run onto mapmyrun.com to find out how far I went, and I have no idea how fast which sorts of defeats the purpose of speed work. But I got out and did it and now it’s done. I don’t have my total here at work with me, but I think this run puts me at about 35 running miles so far this year. Need to pick it up for the rest of the year, I need about 36 miles a month (more, really, considering November and December will likely drop due to weather). So see you all in March, rcmarch2016, right?
