I have voted myself World's Worst Blogger. I started this up because I was hardly working, and I wanted something constructive to do with my time... Now I am working a new job, and between two jobs and training, I have no time to blog! I would however, like to at least write up a March review...
Total miles in March: 209
Average pace: 7:37
20-milers: 2
Total rest days: 6, 2 were unplanned due to lack of sleep and bronchitis
On a food note: Is anyone else watching the new TV show America's Next Great Restaurant? My husband and I LOVE it. In fact it's on right now, but I can't watch it until he get's home... Thank goodness for DVR.
Oh! Countdown to Boston: 15 days!!!!!
And after... I'm offically registered for the Bayshore 10k! I'll set a goal depending on how Boston and my recovery goes... But I'm hoping a sub-40 is in the cards this year.

Pick up that pace!
I was telling my fellow Daily Milers (dailymile.com) earlier today that my average pace each month is getting faster then the previous month... And I thought I should share.
Here are my totals to date (copied right from my DM account)
December (just getting back into running more, after post wedding and honeymoon mayhem): 75 miles, 8:06 average pace
January: 151.5 miles, 7:52 average pace
February: 200 miles, 7:45 average pace
And today I was able to finish up my 12 mile run with an easy 7:07 mile. I could feel that I was going quick, but it felt effortless, and to be honest, pretty fantastic! Don't get me wrong, I run my tempo runs faster (and duh, longer then a mile), but the ease of that last mile was such wonderful reassurance about the progress of my training.
I can also proudly (and with no regret) say that after my run I ate a Boston Cream Doughnut in about 2 seconds flat... hmmm... Why did I order a Boston Cream? I've never done that before... Maybe I was subconsciously thinking about a little race I'm running in April...
