You say goodbye (february), and I say Hello (March)


Ya so I'm a bit of a Beatles fan...

February's Focus has been on getting stronger- less focus on how many runs I do, but more of quality.
Total Mileage: 91. I wanted to run 100 miles in the month, but alas I ran the SAME. EXACT. MILEAGE as January (not planned) 
March: I WILL break into 100 miles this month

Highest Mileage Week: 29. Major fail since the goal was 40-- I'll be honest I forgot about this goal, so not too upset about this
March: Repeat of February's intention, 40 miles

Half Marathons planned/completed: 1/1.  Livestrong Austin Half Marathon.  Best race in a LONG time. Great time with some Amazing ladies, earned my new PR, AND got to catch up with 3 old friends from HS and college!

March: 1 half mary planned. 13.1 NY with my hs gf Heidi.

Long Runs Ran: 13, 13, 16. Guess if I did a long run EVERY weekend, then I would have been over 100 miles... BUT I did manage my longest.run.ever!!  
March: doing a 17 mile run today, will have a 13 mile on the books, then hopefully at least 2 more.

Current Ache/Pain:  Lately my butt has been tight / sore, so here's hoping to its being 'sculpted'. I asked for a deep tissue butt massage... still waiting for a full one! 

Current Book (s): Actually have nothing on my plate right now (let the suggestions roll in)  

Current Obsessions: Figuring out all the touristy things I'm going to be doing in New York in a few weeks

Current Drink:  Chocolate shakeology--- been on it less than a month and I've noticed a HUGE difference in my digestion AND slimming down my middle.  

Current Song (s):   I've got 3: 
Every morning while I get ready for work I listen to these 3 (and then some) 
1. The Cults "Go Outside"- its so fun and cheerful--- especially love listening to it while running outside and its gorgeous out!

 2.  Discovered this song from a commercial that was on the Superbowl- OBSESSED. 
Fun "We are young"

3. Ok this is my "I feel like such a bad ass while listening to this song" My good friend Ronnie is in the process of opening a gym and used this song as his promo video--- I think its so fitting
Awolnation - "Sail"

* if you have any songs that make you feel like a bad ass, would LOVE to add them to my workout mix!*

Current Wish List: Having abs worthy of being able to run in just a sports bra 

Current Dislike (s):  Figuring out what I'm going to do for housing situation come June. Finally saw the house my roommate bought, and I'm not too keen on moving in.  

Current Goal: Sub 1:50 half. Building a stronger mileage base  

Current Treat: Since I gave up sweets, the only thing I allow is my chocolate soy milk or chocolate shakeology- so those are my treats till Easter.


Current Excitement:  First time visiting New York- will be my 25th state and I will officially be 1/2 way done. Can't wait to see my gf Toya (we're staying with her), AND she randomly got married last weekend and didn't tell anyone, so meeting her new husband.
