    I had a really great 6 mile run today. I felt that runner's high feeling which doesn't happen very often, so yay! My average pace was over 45 seconds per mile faster than when I ran 5.5 miles two weeks ago and it felt pretty easy. :)

    @shanaber I love agility! We do everything, conformation, obedience, getting into weight pull soon, nosework, tracking. All sorts.

    No running today, worked a super busy event, with my dog in tow. We are both going for a nap now. Happy running everyone!

    Ooooh runners!!! I found you! <3

    I'm just going to lurk or jump in late for March. My miles were less last month than I would have liked, it may have been the tapering for my half or resting for nearly a week afterwards. Regardless, I would like to keep my miles around 50 until I amp up training for another half in the fall.

    Now I just have to make sure I don't EAT more as I up my mileage. It's a slippery slope for me, I tend to overcompensate and gain weight as my miles go up. :p

    @dennie24 - awesome! I hoping for that runner's high tomorrow! Can't wait to run tomorrow morning.
    @twoboysnmygirl - Welcome! I don't really trust how many calories my app says I burn when running or biking, so I don't add a whole lot of calories. But I eat about 2500 a day anyway, or until I am not hungry. :)

    3/19- rest day, went to Sedona with my parents, ate many tamales
    3/20- biked up Mt. Lemmon with my kid brother. I climbed to about 6000 feet, then caught a ride to meet him at the top. Here he is on the way back down. Crazy kid didn't touch his brakes once.

    Today was our last day in AZ, so I didn't get a run in, ready to get back to a regular workout schedule! I miss lifting weights!

    Nice and sweaty 5 mile pace run late tonight (at 85% max HR). Ran into a group coming out of a social event at the club down the street from me who exclaimed "you have to be crazy running at midnight", to which I replied "with this weather, you'd have to be crazy running at midday" (today's high was 85 Fahrenheit). Did some biking at noon anyhow.

    Half Marathon done today (The "Wicklow Gaol Break"). A bit hilly, and I had a calf problem after 8km which nearly sidelined me, but I pushed through it and finished, which is all I was aiming to achieve, after the pathetic training schedule I managed in the last few weeks!

    Makes a welcome addition to the totals for the month, as well! :)
