March 2015 Running Challenge

autumnblade75

I'm still working on healing the ankle, so I'm doing more walking than running, but I'll hit 75 miles this month if I have to crawl...


3/1 - 2.25 miles - walking

I completely bombed March. I was out of town last weekend and the snow/ice did me in this week. (much respect to you northern runners who run in this all the time!)

I was supposed to run my first HM on April 5, but had a conflict and had to switch to a different event on April 26. So this is the month I really need to keep building my mileage and stay on task. I'm in for 80.

I'm back to basics for 2015 ... nothing but 5Ks for me. Working on speeding it up, improving my form and strengthening my glutes/core. No high miles for me. I'm in for 70!

March 1 - 5K - 3rd place in my age group. Not my best time, but happy with it! 29:07

I really loved this 5K. They had cute signs along the way. I can't remember them, but they were cute. I think the last one was something like "your legs aren't tired, it's your head - don't listen to it". Doesn't sound that great when I type it here, but when I was running it inspired me and I poured on the speed since I could see the finish line.

Congratulations! What a super way to start March! I love the signs too, last one I ran had little messages written in chalk on the side walk, " you can do it, almost there, don't give up yet, you got this..." Really helps squelsh that internal dialogue "why?, oh I should be there by now, crap, not another hill... " lol!

Just starting back to running after a long absence. This seems like a great way to get me going! I'm in for 30.

I'm in again - didn't make 100k in February, so I'll set this as a goal for march again.

Nice to "see" so many familar faces, and welcome to all the newcommers

@ddmom0811 : sounds like a great 5K, congrats!

Hello!! Feb. Was one year anniversary of running for me. Started late in life!! First half last Oct and felt decent about it. Ready to get back outside and off the treadmill. This seems like a great motivation and I like setting goals. I'm going to go for 40 miles. God speed to all!

Today was going to be a rest day - but I didn't want to miss posting on the first day of the challenge!

2.56 miles done - easy with 5 fartleks.

Very well done @ddmom0811 on your fantastic 5K result!
Good running everyone...

I am in for 80 miles again. Not sure if I will be able to make the goal, as I am going into my last trimester, but I will give it a shot Might have to walk some of the miles later in the month.

I would love to join. Just starting out so my goal is 25. [IMG][/img]

I think this might be a bit of a tough goal for me but I want to push myself this month!

Fell short of my February goal of 20 miles, so have added on another 20 miles for March and will try to make up the deficit to finish at 40 miles for the two months. Have entered a 10K in July so have a goal to aim for.
