March Review.... more like what's happened in the past few weeks.

I have not stopped running it's just that a few things got in the way of writing and updating.

I had a great end to March,  smashing the target I had put in place for the first three months. Although I feel I may have low balled the numbers. That said for what I needed to do outside of running,  move house, work, spend time with the family I may take the kudos.

Running for me is about the movement and getting out in the fresh air. I have a competitive streak and that came through in a race I entered in March. On the morning I felt strong and I felt I could really push.  And that's what I did, I wasn't quite up to the standard of the first three finishers but I can from 7th place to finish a respectable 4th. What was even better Angie and the girls were there and we had a really nice time as a family in St. Anne's Park. 

April was a slow start I was staring down 167 miles but I felt fit, strong and ready for the challenge. My Monday class with Dinny Collins is really adding to my strength and I feel so strong in my legs for the first time ever. Although April didn't turn out as planned, poor Jennifer got sick and spent a week in Temple Street. She is doing great now but what a scare! I also lost my mojo, my diet went astray and I started enjoying a few extra glasses of wine! But I know what I need to do and I am committed to get back on track. I want to get my fundraising up and running and I feel once I commit to raising money there is no going back.

7.6 miles per run for the next 209 running days is what I need to do! I did 7.68 today in my new Saucony ISO Zealots!

Its game on!
