During February, I didn’t make a lot of my workout paces and intervals. My two mile workout was the first one I felt successful and that I finally able to make my intervals and feel strong doing so.
Favorite Race:
Easily the Double Bridges Run. Despite the cold and having a rough morning, I was able to feel good during the race.
Thoughts:
February was definitely a grind month. Instead of racing frequently, I got through a lot of quality workouts. I typically post most of them on instagram and you can follow along there. Not every workout (if any), felt easy and I do feel as though I was pushing out of my comfort zone.
As a whole, I’m happy with the month. Not every month can be an exciting, PRing month. I have come to realize as a runner, I am more confident when I race frequently but grind months do pay off later on.
My goal for March is to get back to enjoying the process of running. I had my fair share of negative (running related) thoughts during February and I’m looking forward to just focusing on the positive. I’m running Shamrock Half Marathon in about 2 weeks which is one of my favorite!
