I can't believe it's almost March. The weather has been pretty rough here in North Georgia making it a challenge for me to get in all the running miles I need to do. We went to Disney World for a week and I only ran 2 miles while there mostly because I walked what felt like 10,000 miles. This past weekend, I did my first 5k of the year and pushed my oldest grandson, Finley, who is 2. It was my first attempt at doing a 5k pushing a running stroller. It was pretty tough but I still managed a 30:34 time. I pushed him for 2 miles of the race. It was fun!!
We move on to Spring time. I don't have any races registered but have many on my calendar. I have learned the hard way not to register so early. I have decided to pass on the Peachtree this year. Maybe I'll do it in 2015. The main thing for now is to get back into good running condition. I ran 7 miles this past Sunday giving me 28 for the week. That is a good week for me. It will be hard to match that this week as I am pretty busy with other things but you never know. Maybe I can get in a couple of long runs by Sunday.
I love March. I am a huge baseball fan and get excited about Spring Training. I also love March Madness. My alma mater, Lee University will be involved in post season play in the NCCAA this year. We are in a transition season moving from NAIA to NCAA II and are not allowed to play in the post season but can compete in the National Christian College Athletic Association. Fun times in sports for me.
Have a happy FIT and HEALTHY Spring!!
