I haven’t posted here in awhile, I guess because I’m sort of in-between at the moment. My big winter race is done, and now I have time to kill before my succession of exciting spring events. And with all the snow we’ve had, I just haven’t been putting in a lot of running – also not stressing about it at all…
Running – 83.9 miles over 11 runs. Half of those miles came in the first 9 days! The highlight was running the First Light Marathon on my 40th birthday! In all, a nice healthy start to the year though, and continues my streak of now 14 months in a row of 70 or more miles. I’m certainly ahead of schedule for the year because I have set NO particular running goal for the year. So invigorating!
Races – 1 (First Light Marathon – 4:37:10)
Biking – 0
Swims – 0
Gym workouts – 3 (the start of a new habit???)
Softball – 0
Injuries – Tweaked something in my lower back mid-month, but not a big issue and did not hold me back much
Sicknesses – None
Weight – will start reporting my progress here so I can be held accountable. My weight and body fat is the worst it has been since Jan 2007, when I first started recording such measurements. I have a long way to go to simply get back to where I have been much of the last couple of years. This month serves as a baseline, and I hope I see it going down from here.
