1 month until 70.3

Holy crap! It will be here before I know it!

March in review:
It's safe to say that this was not a great month of training for me.

March Goals:
1. One 14 mile run - this run was scheduled for Wednesday but I have a ton of last minute errands to run for our vacations. I thought about splitting it 7 miles in the morning and 7 miles in the evening but that seems kind of half assed. I'd rather push it back a week and do the full mileage at once.
2. PR at the Princess HM - DONE
3. 5K at 8:40 pace - DONE
4. Increase my bike time to 4 hours per week. - FAIL

Strengths:
1. Increased my base training pace to reflect my recent 5k PR.
2. More time on the bike (not goal amount) and my first out door ride.
3. Very comfortable with the swim.

Weaknesses:
1. Bike - I need to put in more time on the bike!
2. Strength training - I've been lazy with this

April Goals:
1. One 15 mile run
2. Increase bike time to 4 hours per week.
3. Incorporate one brick workout per week
4. 50 push ups, 50 sit ups, 5 minutes of planks EVERY DAY
5. Buy a bike computer
6. Buy new sunglasses

One thing about goals, is that they're just that...goals. Sometimes we meet them and sometimes we don't. And that's alright. You have accomplished a lot and you should be proud of yourself! You will do great at your HIM! :)

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words :)

I'm with Aimee... to me though, goals don't have to have a definite timeline! Keep pushing like you are, and things will be fine! You accomplished some great things this past month!

Great job girl! Just remember our first swims, bikes and runs. Look how far you've come. From a palm harbor super sprint to 70.3. That is quite a journey sista!
