Training and EOM March

Over the last two weeks I have been concentrating on training that will enhance my speed in the short and medium distance runs, and continue training for longer endurance events on the weekend. I believe that if I work on speed during the week when my time is more limited, then I may be able to get two good speed or tempo workouts in each week. Then I can connect with the long endurance runs over the weekends.

Last week, I also played with the stationary bike. It guess it should not surprise me... but I am simply amazed by the distance one can cover on a bike... even simulated! this is something that I definitely want to keep doing to increase my overall fitness. And I hear it makes the calves look awesome!

I have been working on more calisthenic exercises, also. Hoping to improve overall core fitness. I have noticed that the knees don't mind running and biking but as soon as I start jumping around they start yelling back.

End of Month report for March is looking good... which means I was able to meet my goals.

• Overall Mileage goal: 165; actual goal is over 190, not including cycling. My go up a bit more if the weather this afternoon hold up!
• 50 miles in a 12-hour event: Hit a double marathon by knocking out 53 miles. Next up is a 24-hour event in Fort Benning on April 30th.
• Stay injury free: I'm not injured!

Bottom Line: Bring it, April!
