March Update

I can't believe it's the end of March already!!!  The weather seems to finally be clearing into spring (except the little snowfall we had last night).  Spring and Fall are my favourite seasons for running.  Not to hot, not to cold and the scenery is constantly changing.  I noticed a bud or two on the trees yesterday as I ran, what a welcome sight!!

Goal update?  I have to confess that I haven't run nearly as much this month as I would like to but I'm still on my way to meeting my goal because I am still moving.  I ran 25km this month which brings my total to 121km.  Not to shabby but will need to be much better if I am going to finish a half marathon in just two months!!  I ran 12k yesterday which was my best run in a while.  Last week was supposed to be 12k but my legs were super tight for some reason so I cut it short at 9k.  Next weekend I will do 14k, if it goes as planned I will sign up for the Niagara Falls Women's Half when I come home.  This weekend I was far overdressed for my run so next weekend I'll have to plan that aspect better.

As for my weight it has held fairly steady this month.  I am down only about 1lb which is perfectly fine with me because it isn't up.  I haven't been as active as I would like and know that it is key for me when it comes to weight loss.  I have a plan of action which is going to require some early mornings but it's going to get me through!

As of tomorrow I will be back to early morning workouts because that is all that seems to work with everything else going on in my world.   I will have to get up at 5am and out the door to make sure I get things done and make it home in time to help get the girls ready for school but in the end this will all be worth it.  Once summer gets here and there are no kids to get ready for school I'll be able to stay in bed a little later:)  For now I will do what I need to do!

  1. You're doing great Selena! It is tough to get out of bed for those early morning workouts, but I found that I had a ton more energy through the day when I was running regularly, even though we had to get up at 4:30. Haven't done that early in quite some time, though, AND I also didn't have little kids to get ready for school, so you are a superstar doing all that! Keep up the good work. :)
