    Last run for the month and a bit short of Goal, to many days on downhill ski's and out of Town for work. I needed to get in 2-3 more long runs to make goal. Ironically Tomorrow - April 1st is a planned 20km and then into Taper for my slow HM next weekend. The serious racer might say I should already be in taper. Due to not making my goal for Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb and March I plan on running the HM - not racing it- so going out Easy and Tapering off.
    5 km Riverbank Shorty tonight - Pace Builder. Start out easy and slowly build pace and cadence.

    03/25 6.0 km - 84.75km - 55.25 km
    03/28 10.0 km - 94.75km - 45.25 km
    03/30 5.0 km - 99.75km - 40.25 km - YTD 228.07 km Riverbank Pace Builder

    In early March they started work on building a new bridge over the River as the old one is reaching max vehicle/hr load limits and is due for a major maintenance retro fit. Also it use's a cantilevered arch so load width and height are severely restricted. Which means they had to cut an access road through our beautiful Riverbank Trail system to get down to the edge of the River to start installing Piers and Bridge footings. So now it is two separate/isolated 3 km trails with no easy connection grumble grumble. :/

    Onto April and the new challenges of spring running.

    @PastorVincent Excuse my ignorance. This is probably a stupid question but.... What does "BAH" stand for?

    Nothing :) It an onomatopoeia... umm think "BAH HUMBUG!" ummm dictionary says it is "an exclamation of contempt or annoyance" - in this case general frustration at events that prevented me from doing what I wanted to do. :)

    March goal: Run END-SURE well, stay healthy and enter the final stages of Zumbro training

    3/3- 13.3
    3/4- 14.3

    3/31- 13.8

    Total: 221.3

    Today's notes: Got in 13.8 on trails with about 5in (13cm) of fresh snow on them. That made my legs pretty tired, but the run felt good, even if I did go pretty slow. Starting to feel ready for Zumbro. Talked with my pacer last night, and it sounds like he'll be a good fit for me, so that's another thing I don't have to worry about.

    Hope everyone is having a Runderful day!

    2018 races
    3/24- END-SURE 50k 6:39:35
    4/13- Zumbro Endurance Race 100 Mile
