Weekly Roundup 2.29-3.6

 
Happy March!  It’s my Birthday Month!

16 miles last week, 18 miles this week, and it’s time for my 12-week Buffalo Half Marathon training to begin!  I have been working on a training plan with one goal in mind—to PR in Buffalo.  I know that if I want to race fast, I am going to have to train fast.  Strength train.  Recover well.  Eat well.  (In fact I declared the month of March #NoCandyMarch—AHHH!)

Let me just take a minute to point out how proud I am of my pup.  This was a HUGE week for Georgie!  She completed 4 runs totaling 10.25 miles.  Not only did she run her first 5k on Wednesday, she also ran 3.4 miles on Saturday on a day that I did not feel like running AT ALL.  She still stops quite a bit to sniff and take bathroom breaks (she pooped 3 times during her 3.1 mile run!) but she is getting better and seems to really enjoy our time together out on the roads.


Other highlights:

·      I posted my 4th product review as a BibRave Pro.  Spoiler alert!  I want more colors!  You can check out my thoughts on the Merino Wool Buff here: http://www.jenrunsfastblog.com/2016/03/bibrave-pro-product-review-merino-wool.html
·      I got a major haircut!  10+ inches…gone!  I don’t love it but I also don’t hate it.  It will just take some getting used to but I am happy to donate my ponytails to a great cause.
