Anyhow, regarding total miles, I had a sub-par month, but still managed to find my mojo on an 80 mile hell ride (windy) that really charged me up! Unfortunately, I ended up with a calf cramp (on the last day of the month) that's put me on the shelf for at least a week. But I also set a PR in a 5K (20:09 ... same one where I came up lame with a bad calf) and did 1,037 pushups in an hour.
April will bring a 5K on my dad's birthday, with all siblings participating, a duathalon and The Tour of the Tucson Mountains, for which I've trained the last three months (though not as I hoped).
Since I hit some motivation issues in March (many of my workouts were flat, unmotivated), I did a lot of soul searching and reconnected with my real reason to workout...to be healthy and have a good time. This is supposed to be fun! And you know what? It is, again!
March had a total of 464 miles between riding and running. It should've been around 700. I ran 92 miles, which I just found out is an all time high for me! Not bad since the majority of that was just plodding along at a Don't-Get-Injured pace.
With that said, in review, March was a GREAT month for me as a developing athlete. I didn't nail all of my workouts but I went through trying times and came out energies and refocused.
