Non-food Current Shame-Inducing Guilty Pleasure:
I am still living in compression.
I wore my CEP compression shorts during both races and believe they made a difference in my ability to push through those last difficult miles without cramping.

I lived in One More Mile shirts, Nike shorts and my black and grey striped knee-highs this month.

Funniest Kid Quote:
(S'ghetti girl shares loads of great conversation but LBM usually does say the cutest things)
Scene: Me on treadmill as I stop the noisy treadmill
LBM playing in workout room
LBM, "Mommy. You done?" in the cute young child with a head tilt way
Me, "Yep. Are you ready to play with Mommy?" said somewhat rhetorically
LBM, "No. Me run fast now. Move."
Current Triumph:
Setting a new 50k PR, two weeks later completing my second fastest 50k ever on a very challenging course all while continuing my running streak.
Current Goals
Personal:
To budget both my time and money more deliberately
Running/Fitness:
To enjoy and be successful in running my first 50 mile trail race.
If successful, I will have raced 113 miles in 5 weeks ~ a new PR.
Current Blessing:
This day and all the ones that God gave me before it.
Current Excitement:
Family: The continued hope that Army Son will be home soon.
Running: At the beginning of March I was # 62 on the wait list for The Bull Run Run 50 miler. You'd have to have just awoke from a coma to be unaware that I am finally IN!
April 9th, 50 miles here I come!
Current Concern:
Family: Army son still is not home. A problem with paperwork may keep him away another month.
Running: On April 9th, I am going to be running 50 miles.
How did your March days add up?
congrats on an awesome month!!!
