I was so jealous of every runner we passed! It looks like such a great place to run!!! Twisty, turny, beautiful along the Potomac.
Tomorrow I may be a little sore! Probably will take a rest day!

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??

Looks like I won't quite make my goal this month but after 5 days of nothing due to a horrible stomach flu that left me drained I feel pretty good about getting as close as I have! I plan to get another run in tomorrow but it won't be 11.7 miles (even if I wanted to attempt it I won't have time). Congrats to everyone this month, way to go!!!0

Congrats to all the racers this last weekend - sounds like everyone had great results!!
Congrats to everyone running so well this month making, exceeding, or even almost hitting your goal, everyone has done an amazing job this month!!
@VintageMatch - is there somewhere you can run outside, maybe even take your dog along for a run? You will probably find it much more fun and interesting!
@skippygirlsmom - look at you getting in over 100 miles this month after just getting back from an injury! Wow, you are awesome!

Last day of the month and everyone kicked some butt!
@9voice9 - 75 miles past goal! Holy crap!
@shanaber thanks I'm so happy with my mileage this month. I put 120 I think for April I might need to rethink that because I have a half on the 12th so my first 10 days of the month will be shorter runs. I'll see.
@johnsonnelly you had a great month even with missing 5 days with the flu
@ddmom0811 it is so beautiful near Mt. Vernon. You are right a beautiful place to run/ride...but lots of hills!
@SBRRepeat isn't it cool when you go back to where you used to run and what kicked your butt and you kill it! Love it.
@akirkman86 - super job on the 10 mile run that is fantastic. I love the selfie with your little man, just too sweet.
@stoshew71 - congrats on hitting goal, great month of running!
@cooter_mom I have to say you get the runner of the month award from me. You went from treadmill running, to running outside like a pro. What a super month you had! Hello fresh air, good bye treadmill!
I'm taking a rest day today, legs are sore as heck from Sunday's run and then doing a short run yesterday. See you all in the April thread. What an awesome group we have here!0 -
March wasn't over got another three0 -
A run after work and I will hit my goal! Man, 2 weeks of packing/moving/unpacking got me off track, but I still made it! XD
