What a great month
![[mail]](img/envelope.gif){kind=small}
You have to be quick around here, Joe done stole my blog idea for today. Oh well, I'll continue anyway.
I started the month with a little apprehension, not knowing for sure how the Triple Crown races would go. I ran well in the Polar Bear Grand Prix series, but I was starting to struggle with my training runs in February. Not just running them well, but even getting them in. It seemed like every time I turned around there was something else in the way. I kept trudging along though, and eventually that turned around. I was finally starting to get in some decent runs, and the results show that.
I have PR'd both my 5K time with the Anthem 5K Fitness Classic, and my 10K time with the Rodes City 10K. Not by a little either, I took off over a minute on my 5K from only a few weeks prior, and 8 minutes off my 10K time from last August. I also managed to get a new monthly distance PR this month with 80 miles.
I have been doing my Tempo runs and speed work at the gym, but I think the largest part of the increase in speed really goes to an increase in endurance from the great Saturday runs I do with our run Group. I can actually get through a run at race pace without having to stop and walk like I would usually end up doing even if just a minute here and a minute there. I really would not be were I am with the runs I do with them. Thanks Joe, Kriston, and Christian (our newest run group member) you guys make all the difference.
