Came home late from work and was in a hurry to go running, so I changed really fast and headed out. And felt really, really uncomfortable... First I was wondering if maybe I had washed my sports bra too hot and ruined its support effect, then I realised I had been scatterbrained enough to only change pants and shoes, and otherwise was still wearing my work clothes. I tried to run as "un-bouncy" as possible, but still had to admit defeat after less than a mile. Previously, I had been wondering if I really needed a sports bra, but that run definitely answered that question for me...
Before the other runs this week, I always made sure I changed into running clothes all the way before heading out of the door
Oh no! That is awful. Glad you decided not to try to continue so you didn't hurt yourself.0 -

March 1 -Rest
March 2 - 4 miles
March 3 - 5.1 miles (furthest run to date)
March 4-6th - Rest arches, I pulled them jumping rope.
March 7 - 4 miles OUTSIDE!!! It was so warm here, I was surprised!
March 8 - 4 miles (plus a hike on the mountain)
March 9 - 3.1 miles (5k OUTSIDE!!, plus a 2 mile walk and weight training)
March 10 - 2.25 miles (It was hard to run tonight....)
March 11 - 3.1 miles (5k)
March 12 - 3.1 miles (5k, outside and the pace was MUCH different than on the treadmill. It was 9:47 mpm versus the almost 12 that I get on the machine)
March 13 - 2 miles (night before first 5k race)
March 14 - 3.1 miles (5k) I feel great about most of my first race! I ran my fastest mile time so far (8:56 mpm) and was on track to *maybe* place but ended up with a side stitch right in the middle that slowed me way down for about 1/2 mile (I need to fine tune what I should eat on race mornings) so my finish time was right at 30 minutes. I *think* this is a decent time for a first 5k race??
March 15 - 4 miles
March 16 - 3.1 miles (5k)
March 17 - 3.1 miles (5k)
March 18 - 22 Traveling and horrible stomach flu

@SonicDeathMonkey80 and @SBRRepeat - Awesome medal and congrats on the PR SBRRepeat!
@notafatty33 - nice run! I can't believe you and others are still getting snow and we are in the 90s already!
@dennie24 - it is so fun to share something you love with your kids! I just love their unbiased all out approach to everything, running, walking, whatever - it is fun!
@_nikkiwolf_ - I rotate between shoes with usually 2-3 pairs in the rotation so that none of them get hit too much time after time. It does seem to help and spreads out the amount of time (if not necessarily the number of miles) a pair lasts. At least it feels like they are lasting longer even if I am just not wearing any one pair as much. Also as annoying as they are, sports bras are a necessary evil! I too have often thought I didn't need one but yes it still makes a big difference!
I did not have a great run today - the first 4-4.5 were amazing and the 2nd were equally as agonizing... a hard fought 9 (of the 12 I had planned) and the first time in a long while that I have given in and called my husband to come get me.

Congratulation to all who have already reached there march goal.
Fantastic half SonicDeathmonkey and SBRRepeat, brilliant times.
Shanaber... Hope your recovered after your bad run.
10k race for me today, weather was very wet but still enjoyed the experience once we got under way, sploshing through the puddles was great fun and one down hill stretch was just a river of water, still I managed to do this race 3 minuets faster than the last time I ran this one so very pleased with myself.
10 miles done this week to add to my total if only I could remember what my total is, all I know is that last time I posted I'd already past my March goal.
Happy running all.0 -

Did well on this morning 5K- PRed! Course is hilly. 31:31. 10K next week if Hubby's medial glute lines out. He's over done it, so I did beat him today. I'll take it even if it is due to injury (lack of proper training).
Goal this month was originally 40 miles, not sure how I overshot that.

@Abakan Nice job! I love running in the rain!
@Elise4270 woohoo! Congrats on the PR and, more importantly, congrats on beating the hubby. Injury sminjury, you won fair and square.0 -
@elise4270 - awesome on PR! And your monthly miles! I went over mine too - it seems like March is lasting forever. I was thinking this morning... can I roll over some March miles into April? LOL

@ddmom0811 right? And I still have 2 days to get in MORE miles. And I laid out this week with a meager 7 miles accumulated. Hmm, perhaps I should check my math.
@SBRRepeat ya, that what he said. He should have beat me by 5 minutes or better. Now I'm impatiently waiting the official results so I can see how many I'm my age group I beat! Muahahahah!0 -

@shanaber Sorry to hear your run didn't go well today. Next one will be better again for sure!
@ddmom0811 : Kudos on facing the cold! Freezing hands are always the worst for me - I finally broke down and bought myself some really warm running gloves - just in time for the weather to get warmer ;-)
@Elisa4270 and @Abakan: congratilations on the great race times!
I tried a new route today and decided I don't like it. I got to gain some elevation (at least in flatlander-terms ;-) ) in a nice flat climb, only to loose it all again in one steep descent down a grassy slope. That was so slippery from the rain that I had to slow to a walk to keep from falling. I need to replan that course before I head that way again...
