March 2021 Monthly Running Challenge

@rheddmobile Glad you were able to get back on the Wolfe River Trail and that you and your husband finished the race series without injury. As for the bridge, I wonder why they didn't build it higher, since they know it floods?

@Faebert Yeah for meeting your goal! Sorry the vaccine through you for a loop. I hope you are feeling better today. That and a wisdom tooth removal could be brutal. Hugs and prayers for you today.

March 2021 Miles: 470.98 (disappointed, but life happens)

@Tramboman
"Today marks my running 90 consecutive days. I guess rest days are overrated...right,@AlphaHowls?"

I rest...occasionally, sometimes. Seriously, I understand the concept, but my type of running is not strenuous, at least not to me.

Not had a great deal of time to be on the forum, still running, but life is trying to run me over.

Ended at 99.05 miles. I meant to go out last night but just too tired.

Where is @katharmonic? Did you get lost in the woods hiking?

Aw, thank you @Teresa502 and @quilteryoyo. I did not get lost - it was a bit dramatic in a few ways but all is well. I've just totally been totally overwhelmed since I got back. After tonight's virtual work event things hopefully calm down a bit. I'll be back to update on the hike and my dismal running total for March. And to catch up with what you all have been up to and head over to April.

@AlphaHowls You are amazing. Glad the tooth extraction didn't make you lose your streak. Hope things calm down and you feel better soon!

@katharmonic Glad you are okay. I hope things do calm down for you. Looking forward to hearing about the hiking weekend.

Just posting a final total for March - didn't get close to my 100 mile goal. Look at all those zeros. On Sunday March 14 I was well ahead of pace for my goal and then I messed up my back and it all went another way. That's my lowest monthly total in a couple of years - probably since the last time I had the same back injury.

I got my monthly half marathon done though and I'm ready to get back on track for April. I'll see you all over in that thread and update about my hike there as we've all moved on now.

Great job in March everyone!

quilteryoyo

@katharmonic Sorry about your back. Hope it is feeling better!

nickseger

Thanks, everyone, for a great month of March!

I ran 218.6 miles and lost a few lbs!

My race on 4/3 went better than expected: I ran the Carmel Half in 1:31:20 for a 4:51 PR!

Have a great April!

@nickseger
