We are 1/4 of the way through 2018!!!

March Wrap Up/ April Planning

This is my, "How can March be over?" face.  

This is my, "YAY, It's APRIL!" face.

Can you believe that?  1/4 of 2018 is DONE!

Let's check in on those goals, shall we?  Mileage check--
March running miles - 160  (most in a month so far this year...)
Miles Year to Date - 376   (averaging about 4.15 miles per day)

March was a big fail with the ab workouts...Back at it in April.  In fact, we've already done 8 Minute Abs today!  I got outside for many of my runs but it seemed like the double digit runs were always on the treadmill.  This crazy Wisconsin weather has not been ideal for anything outside (IMO).

March had a fun 5k on St. Patrick's Day but April has 3 half marathons!!!   It could become challenging but I am super excited to see what will happen.

April 7 - Parkinson's Half in Cottage Grove
April 22 - Naperville Women's Half
and my BIG RACE of the month
***  April 28 - St. Jude Rock n Roll Nashiville Half Marathon  ***

I'm super excited to be running in Nashville as a St. Jude Hero.  You can help me with my fundraising efforts, if you'd like, by donating HERE!

As I was planning out the month ahead I realized that each of my races this month are in a different state!   That's pretty exciting to me!  Stay tuned for how things go.

FORWARD testing is complete in our classroom.  #sothankful

In the meantime I am also looking forward to welcoming our student teacher on Tuesday and talking to families at conferences on Thursday and Friday!

It's birthday week for these 2 kiddos---14 and 12....where has the time gone?

Last thing---If you are interested in signing up for HER Madison 5k of Half, (June 22 - 24), use coupon code MARGARET for a discounted rate.  The discount is BIG through the end of April 1 (15% off).  It goes back to $5 off tomorrow.  Sign up TODAY!

Halfway Finished with FORWARD!

We've had a busy week and it feels good to know that we only have 4 more days of FORWARD testing.  We've been writing poems, learning about agriculture, and mastering fractions during the non-testing parts of our school day.

Wrapping up the Week

As you may know if you follow our blog, I set a couple of big running goals this year.  One is to run 2018 miles.  A second one is to train, fundraise, and run as a St. Jude Hero in Nashville. The other is to PR at the half marathon distance (which means beating a 1:51).

Since January 1, I have run over 290 miles.  It was time to get some new shoes for all the miles so I asked the kids to help me decide on a pair.  We voted on Wednesday morning and my new shoes should be at my doorstep when I arrive home tonight!

The race is also on for FORWARD testing.  We start Monday and finish on March 29.
