February

If I had to describe the month of February in one word, it would be BUSY.

This month didn’t turn out like I had planned between getting sick twice, missing a few workouts, having a tough race and just feeling all over the place.  But on the bright side, I learned a lot, still got most of my workouts in, and got going with all the involvements I have started this year.

The month started off with the stomach flu and missed my first lululemon team lemon run club.  Wah.

I went to So Cal for a quick trip and the RRCA running coach certification course.

I had a tough half marathon, but finished #18.

I celebrated my runniversary, and also my blogs third birthday!

I had many fun nights at team lemon run club.

I wrote my third post as part of the Nike Women’s Make Yourself Movement.

Everyone talked about Boston, including me.

I also started talking about food.

I had some great track workouts, some fun long runs, completed 4 more weeks of Boston training and ran 197.8 miles total.  Not quite where I hoped to be, but not bad considering everything above!

I finished off the month by passing my RRCA coaching certification!  Glad to have that one checked off the list too!

I am definitely looking forward to March, it’s typically a good training month for me and I am excited to finish off the bulk of my Boston training strong!

How was your February?

    Way to get through a tough and busy month! My February was quite good for running, but your mileage still puts me to shame. It does inspire though, so keep it up!

    I too did not have a perfect February but hey BEST is good, BETTER is best – life is like this. YOu’re still strong, in good health and raring to go for your last training month. Keep it up and see you in April. HAve you booked a hotel yet? X

    I can’t imagine how just shy of 200 miles, you weren’t “quite where you hope to be”!

    Despite the few bumps in the road, it sounds like you had a great month. You accomplished so much – and ran so many miles despite being sick (so very impressed)! Congrats on passing your coaching exam!! I hope March proves to me a great training month for you.
