@stoshew71 Great race, congrats on the PR! - you couldn't find .65 miles to run to get to 200
@csman49 Hope you feel better soon, nutrition and exercise can wait until you are better
@honunui love the observation deck. Great picture!
@dennie24 congrats on hitting your goal
Congrats to everyone who hit goal with days to spare!

Finished! With two days to spare. I'll go over for once!!0 -
I'm too late to the March 2015 party, and new to running. However, I ran my first ever race (5k fun run) and finished in less than 30 minutes! Had no idea how I would do in 'real' running because since beginning running in late 2014, I have only run at night on a treadmill - my son calls it 'fake' running. Felt great; I am hooked! Looks like I'll be joining y'all for April 2015; so, I better go find one of those super cool running tickers0

In running related news, I won this cool Timex One GPS watch from Run the Bluegrass. It was a contest for who could run the most 3+ mile training runs from 9 Nov - 22 Mar, and I had 160 runs. It does live tracking, text messaging without a phone, and has 4gb of music storage with Bluetooth headphone capability.

I set up the April Challenge if anyone wants to start declaring their April miles.

Nice running jewelry congrats on winning it. BTW how big is that screen, looks like I can see it without my glasses.

Looks like a 2" screen... It's definitely not going to be my everyday runner, but I'll wear it for races and long runs. It's a little heavy

@SBRRepeat, @SonicDeathMonkey80, @Elise4270, @Abakan, @autumnblade75, @Stoshew71, and anyone else I missed excellent racing all of you!
@dennie24 I love running with my kids, my older daughters are great runners. My youngest kids run with spurts of speed & intervals of walking, but that's how they learn. Keep bringing your son out with you he'll be running the whole 3 miles in no time.
@_nikkiwolf_ If you can reverse that route it looks like a fun challenge & you can run the rolling downhill side without putting your life or legs in danger.
@SBRRepeat Getting caught in a hailstorm while running is painful- add the speed of cycling & that must have been awful, I hope you're okay.
@HonuNui Beautiful moon & great job on the observation deck- all your hard work really paid off!
@labyars There is walking and there is running. Running on a treadmill is still running, though running out of doors does feel so much better.
@SonicDeathMonkey80- 160 3+mile runs is impressive. I went back and looked I only have 109 in that same time frame even though I ran at least a mile every single day.

33.7 last week. 128.2 for the month. 1.8 to go, which means, unless something catastrophic happens between now and the time I head out for my run after work, I got this!0

That's why I asked what size it was. It's very cool.

A near perfect run to finish out the month!! Weather was great, temperature was bang on, gentle breeze appeared at just the right moments to cool me down, I felt good and apart from the track being a bit slippery from last nights rain it couldn't have been better!!!!

@fabnine it was pretty small hail. No serious damage done.
I did a quick three miles in the park where I first started running today. I moved, so I haven't been back since I finished C25K almost two years ago. It was a surreal experience. This route used to kick my butt. Like, collapse panting and shaking on my front porch, potentially with heat stroke. One lap was less than a mile and a half.
That "big hill" that I used to struggle up and usually ended up walking? 16 feet of elevation change. 16!
Amazing.
I can't believe I ran 110 miles (okay, 109.4) this month. At least 4x as much as I could do then...0 -
I'm wrapping up March with 66.4 miles, including my first half marathon yesterday. 'Twas a great month—can't wait for April!0
