Is March already over?
I always dread writing training month recaps when I’m injured or had a rough training month. Who likes reading about the #bumbutt. It’s important to be honest and consistent so I keep writing recap posts. Anyways…March taught me a lot.
Since Phoenix marathon was February 28th, that obviously effected my entire month of March.
After NYCM 20 months ago, I wondered how people recovered from a marathon so quickly.
After Phoenix in February, I still wonder how people recover so quickly. Marathon maniacs are really maniacs…I have come to the conclusion I will be a 1 maybe 2 (per year) marathon person. That distance is humbling and the recovery…is more humbling.
Some people recover from marathons well…I’m not one of those people.
Total miles: 122
Average pace: 6:41-mostly untimed
Races: Shamrock Half marathon (1:33.06)
Best Training Run:
Quite honestly, none of my training runs have been that stellar. With my nagging #bumbutt, nothing feels like I could run for miles. That is how it goes though…my runs later in the month have been better than the first few. Hopefully April brings complete injury free miles.
Thoughts:
The month of March has been strictly recovery and figuring out my butt pain. While I haven’t 100% figured out everything I think I’m getting close. It’s also been a frustrating month…not every month can be great. Since I ran about half the miles as I normally have, this recap is about half the length. As I said on Monday, I’m going to make be taking most of April for wedding related things and a honeymoon. Training can wait…
Next Month:
I’m getting married and going on a honeymoon. I will still run and actively try to figure out my butt but it will not be a priority. Honesty is the best policy right?
Questions for you:
How was your month of March?
Does anyone have a big race in April?
I know here in NJ, the Long Branch half marathon is at the end of the month. One of my favorite races, the Atlantic City half marathon, is next weekend too.
