Monthly Review-March 2024This week’s Tuesday Topic is a FREE topic.Β  Feel free to post any running-related blog post.Β  Remember to link up with Jenn andΒ Zenaida!Β  Visit at least two of the other linked posts – the more the merrier!Β Β Remember to come back for later linkers!

Let me tell you about how March went for me:

Mileage: So far I’ve run 8.41 and walked 3.65 miles this month.Β  It’s been another nonproductive month of running and walking.Β 

Run the Year 2024: I signed up to run and walk 2,024 miles this year.Β  I have completed 71.74 miles (per the RTE Tracker).Β  I know I have a lot of work to do here.Β  Once the weather is better, I plan to walk to work a few times a week.Β  It is 6.2 miles to work so I think it is doable.

Current Book: I finished reading β€œThe Lincoln Highway”.Β  I loved it!Β  I still want to get in my car and drive along the highway.Β  Road trip?Β  Currently, I am reading “Unsettled Ground” and so far am liking it.Β  This is book #5 for this year.

Unsettled Ground-1

Injuries: None.

Races:Β  On Sunday I ran the Bank of American Shamrock Shuffle 8k.Β  I have mentioned this race a few times so you know it is one of my favorite races.Β  The weather was decent and I finished in 1:06:51 (my worst time).

Health:Β  I am doing OK.Β  Depending on how my day goes, I sleep well and on other days I don’t.Β  I don’t know if it was my trip to San Antonio or DST or both but I was very tired when I came back home.Β  I am struggling with hot flashes and weight gain and I am not happy about it.Β  On Monday I saw the number on the scale and it was the highest number I’ve seen on the scale for me.Β  I was upset and then everything else went downhill for me that day.Β  I had a horrible day at work where everything just bothered me.

School:Β  It is going OK.Β  We have two months to go till the end of the school year.Β  There are a few activities taking place in April and May that I am looking forward to.Β  We are going to Brookfield Zoo and the Museum of Science and Industry.Β  We’re also going to see (weather permitting because we are walking there) SpongeBob the Musical.

What I am looking forward to next month: Spring Break!Β  One week to stay home and relax.

The topic for next week:Β  What are your tried-and-true running accessories?Β  Feel free to write about this or any running-related topic.Β  We hope you’ll link up with us!

  1. Well done on the Shamrock Shuffle!
    Don’t let the scale get at you. You’ll be fine once better weather is here and you will have more time in the summer to exercise.
    Enjoy the spring break!

  2. It’s great that you were able to run one of your favorite races last weekend and that you had a great time!

    I bet you’re really looking forward to spring break! The timing will be great to give you time to get back into your running and walking. Hopefully, the weather will turn to spring quickly so you can start walking to school after spring break.

    Also, I commented on the other post you added to the linkup yesterday, but is gone now. I’m very curious about your answer to my question about your Garmin 235 and how you get it to track walking versus running. I’ve never been able to figure that out.

    • I linked up the wrong post. That is why I removed it but will add it again next week. πŸ™‚ I am so sorry but the one I have is the 265 and not the 235.

Thank you for your comment!
