I know April is not over yet. We still have a few more days left. Things are going well in the running department and I am trying to stay positive and taking it day by day in the work department.
I will use the same format from my last monthly review of October 2020.
At the end of April we’ll be 1/3 done with 2021. Time is going by fast!
Mileage: As of this morning I’ve run 87.54 miles. There are 3 more days left in April and based on my schedule, I will run 8 miles in those 3 days. I won’t make it to 100 miles but so far April will be my highest mileage month. My highest mileage ever was 186.27 miles in July 2016.
Highest Mileage Week: 24.61. It was this past week and it took me 5:08:31 hours.
Current Challenge: My running streak. Today is day #242. Total miles is 668.55. It is still going well and I am hoping to make it to one year.
Current Book: None but I am waiting for “The Soul of a Woman” by Isabel Allende. I need to check Wendy’s posts since she always has some great suggestions of books to read.
Current Song: No specific song but I am loving anything 80s.
Current Shoes: Brooks Launch 5 and Brooks Levitate 1. I wanted to replace the Launch at the end of March, but sadly had about 200 miles in them due to low mileage in February. I will hit 300 miles in May and will then add either the Launch 7 or Ghost 12.
2021 Running Goal: My goal this year is to run 1,200 miles. I am at 22% done with 264.58 miles. I know last month I thought about changing my goal to 1,000 miles. I will revisit again in June, since I plan to run more miles in the Summer, and make a decision.
What am I looking forward to next month? Almost the end of the school year! You knew I was going to say that, right? Have I mentioned that my last day is June 9th? 😊
How is April going for you?
Amazing reasons! I love the dedicated “me” time. I don’t get it anywhere else and I am a person who…
These are all great reasons to run. I agree with each one.
This is great, Zenaida, and you list many fantastic reasons to run! When I ran, I ran for many of…
They will definitely look for me, but then remember that mama went back to work to afford the food and…
That is true. It is a time to also recharge my batteries.
