With the ending of the tax filing season today I am breathing a big sigh of relief. For the last six weeks its been lots of work, too much stress eating, and not enough running. Last week I ran 5 days for the first time in a month. It was hard work, but felt great. Thankfully, I don't seem to have lost too much fitness and should be back up to where I want to be in no time.
So, what has the running been like lately? Here it is by the numbers:
March
Miles run: 94.0
Warmest run: 78 degrees
Coldest run: 5 degrees
Longest run: 10.9 miles
Shortest run: 3 miles
Average run: 5.9 miles
Yes, I cut way back due to workload, to make room for family time, some minor injuries and just because I was exhausted. April isn't exactly getting started with a bang with a 5.3 mile average so far, but I am building back up.
What's coming up? A trail half marathon on June 2nd. It should be a blast.
Now, to get off my rear and get out there...
