April totals

Running = 105.40

Lifting= 1.5 hours

I was so excited to see the 100 mark for April. That is mind boggling for me. I just barely hit it but it still counts. The 3oo mile mark is also looming close by. My mom got me a subscription to runners world for Easter so I received my free gift in the mail yesterday, which was a runners log. I have been keeping track of my runs on the computer with a fancy x-cel sheet but this log lets me put more comments on what kind of run I did and add more writing to it. As I was getting this new log up to date I was looking back on how I began.

I am about 1/2 way now and my January was so sporadic and as I continued along I got more consistent with my runs and really have added miles according to plan. I was surviving a 3 mile run in the beginning and now 5 miles is not that bad and really somewhat easy. I have also decreased my mile/minute mark. I started out with about a 11 min. mile and now I am running in the 9 min./mile range for a consistent pace.

As for April I had such a busy month that I am proud to say with some re-arranging I got them all in. With more running outside I have found it difficult to get some lifts in which I use to get in regularly. This week was the only week I altered number of miles because of the circumstances.

I have the Capcity 1/2 tomorrow and this will be somewhat of a dry run for the marathon. I will be running early in the morning (which I haven't done yet and not so excited about) going to run with my running belt, and hoping to finish about 2 hrs. 10 min. The forecast has some rain in the area and I hate the rain. Cross your fingers that it will hold off until I get done racing.
