Just a short run during a business trip. Fell a tad short of my goal two months in a row, will try to stick to it this month. However, Aprils are always the craziest months of the year in my line of work, so we'll see what happens.3 -

Ran the JaJa Trail Marathons today, 4th place female, top ten overall after a long day of hunting for books in river banks under bridges, down dead drops and rotting tree trunks. This Barkley impersonator was wicked, would absolutely run it again if I were invited back!
Yay! Well done!

Didn't want to be miles from home and get drenched. Plus we have lunch plans with friends and I didn't want to get up early on a holiday.
Err? What is this nationwide water battle?0 -
Goal for April is 25 miles.

Second day in April and we're getting pelt-you-in-the-face then melt-on-the-ground snow to kick off the week. The Monday morning coffee folks were a skeleton crew this morning. But I have some serious grocery shopping and meal prep to do after work, so I had to get the snowy, slushy, yucky run out of the way early!
Happy Monday!
4/1: 7 miles
4/2: 4 miles
April miles: 11
Goal miles: 100
Upcoming Races:
April 29: New Jersey Marathon 4-person relay
May 20: Watershed 10k trail race

@eponine1984 Wow, that sounds so scary. I'm sorry you had to go through all of that, and it takes some strength to share something so difficult on an open forum. I hope you get cleared soon so you can get some mood-boosting endorphins. :hugs:1

@eponine1984 Oh wow. I am so sorry you went through all of that.1

@eponine1984 I am so sorry for your loss. That much blood loss is not trivial - I hope your physical recovery is quick so you can get out running to help with the rest of your recovery.1

Week 1 Day 1 of C25K today! It wasn't easy for me, but super happy I made it through!7

@girlinahat waves back
@PastorVincent Nice looking powerline trail, add 3 ft of snow and it would look like one ( all ) of my trails
@Orphia Cartwheels and running - sounds like some kind of funky Zumbra - obstacle race.
@eponine1984 Sends big virtual hug to you and your family from all your MFP Friends.
@JessicaMcB Congratulations. Great JaJa Photo, especially since the dude in the back has a Gary Robbins style Beard happening. Took me a while to understand the picture with all the pages of the books. I am guessing that the temps warmed up as the day went on.
-22C this morning so wait for the evening when it should be warmer.1 -

In typical fashion, it was in the upper 40'sF yesterday when I took that picture, and today we have 3 inches of snow on the ground. Not quite 3 foot, but probably looks about the same until you start walking/running in it.

4.35 today to submit as a virtual run for my missed race Saturday.
I've got 3 more runs planned for this week, no set distance or time.4 -
For real? It's only early on the 2nd and I've already missed 5 pages? I've done so poorly keeping up with you all this year.
Goal(s) for April: 110 miles, no injuries and complete HM on the 22nd in a solid (for me) time.
4/1 - Start month on rest day, plus it's Easter = no burn + a lot of calories / hot cross buns.
4/2 - 4 treadmill miles + upper body weights/abs.
4/110
Good luck all!4 -
New here. I'm sure I'll screw this up somehow, but yesterday, April 1st, 2018. 7.5 miles. Which was actually a mistake. I intended on only doing 4 miles, but because I'm an idiot and didn't pay attention to the road I was on at the start, I ended up going waaaaayyyyy out of my way and by the time I made it home, it turns out, I had gone 7.5 miles.6

@eponine1984 I am so, so sorry for your loss. I hope that you can find peace and healing in your recovery.1

@kristinegift - Never been diagnosed, but I think I may have SAD too. I get extremely grumpy, sleepy, mopey, etc. in January and February every year. Way to kick *kitten* the first two days of April!
@MobyCarp - Love your real goals!
@zerlinna87 - FWIW, if an illness doesn't involve a fever, "wet" lungs, or a major GI issue...I try to run. Often, I feel better when finished.
@eponine1984 - I am sorry for all you're going through and your loss :-(
@JessicaMcB - Great job, love that pic!

Weather will be great today and my son has soccer practice, so skipped early morning on the road and will do a few miles on the trail by his soccer fields tonight. Less than two weeks to my first 25k and trail race. It feels weird not to have run in the morning, but I sure don't feel the rungries like I usually do. I think these soccer practice runs will become the norm as long as the weather holds. It's nice to spend more time on the mountain. I think there's a few other trails close by that I can scout out.3
