February is quickly coming to a close and it’s been a long short month if you know what I mean! I realized the other day that I never set any monthly goals for February…and in hindsight, it’s just as well that I didn’t. While plans were derailed, I am happy that I finished the month running and feeling more like myself again. And, now my sights are squarely set on moving forward in March.
So I’m linking up with Erika, Marcia, and Patty for Tuesdays on the Run and sharing a couple of March goals.
Enjoy the Black Cat 10 Miler – I recently runfessed that this race will be run as a training run, while I shift my focus to the Portland 10 in late April. My goal is to soak in the atmosphere, high-five the volunteers, stick to my run-walk intervals, and celebrate returning to double digits!
Be consistent – With the flu firmly in the rearview mirror, priority one is to be consistent with my workouts. Run 3x’s a week, cross-train/strength train 2x/week, and a weekly yoga session.
Get my diet in sync – I also runfessed that my eating was kind of all over the place in February so for March it’s time to get back to meal planning and prep.
Run 70 miles – I don’t usually set mileage targets, but I know I’m behind on my contribution to my team’s Run This Year challenge so I want to put a target out there for some extra motivation.
So tell me how was your month? Have you set any goals for March?
What a rough month for you! I bet you’re glad to put this one behind you. Here’s to March!

Like you, I’m glad that I ended the month better than I started. Crossing my fingers that we have paid our dues with this flu business!

It WAS a long short month! Glad the flu and other yuck is behind you. I too need to build mileage as I’ve got RnR Carlsbad coming up at the end of March.

I am ready for a new month with much warmer temps!!! Your strategy for running your 10-miler for fun may just land you a faster-than-expected finish time. Almost every time I have ever tried to focus on a specific pace or “goal” finish time has resulted in disappointment. There have been other times when I just embraced what the day gave me…and my finish times were SO much better and my mind was so much happier.

You had lots of challenges last month. Hope March turns out to be much better for you!

I am excited about this new month. It is a few days longer than February and hopefully I can meet my goal of running 100 this month. Oh and I want some warmer weather.

February was a rough month for many. Glad you are starting to feel better. Hope March is a wonderful month for you.

Thanks Erika 🙂
I’m glad you’re feeling better and I’m sure you’ll do awesome with your goals for March! My diet has been a hot mess…I always say “maybe this month” things will turn around, haha!
