A quick check on the monthly goals.
1. Lose 5 pounds.
This did not happen in March. I did lose 1.2 pounds this month, but with the races this month my eating wasn't completely on track. Which is fine. I'm not upset about it. I still had a net loss for the month. That's good enough for me!
2. Run 25 miles.
Accomplished this...and then some! Managed 40.5 miles this month. This is what happens when you have a long training run and a half marathon. LOL! It was also a great month with PRs. I had three. One at the Kelly St. Patrick's Day 5k (36:43), The TownBank 8k (1:01:51), and the Anthem Half Marathon (2:51:15). That last one was a PR by 25:33! It was a good running month.
3. Bike 40 miles.
I'm estimating about 40 miles this month. I didn't keep the best records of my stationary bike rides this month. Oops! But, a conservative estimate of 5 miles per gym session times going to the gym 8 times this month would mean 40 miles. I believe it would be more, but I'll stick with 40.
4. Increase my photography
I did ok with this. I had the camera in Virginia Beach and did take photos. The issue is last year I didn't run in Virginia Beach, so I had time to take LOTS of photos. This year I took some, but not as many. And other than that...not too many. Hopefully with the weather getting warmer I'll get out more and use the camera.
So, there you have it. I think I had a pretty good March overall. I obviously could have done a bit better with my diet this month, but overall I am still down. My running was fabulous this month and bike goals held up. Feeling good overall for March 2012. Onto April!
