5K training week 6

Thank goodness it feels like spring is here! I'm so happy to shed layers when I'm outside and feel the warmth in the sun! So missed!

So last week wasn't a super week for running but I did get out twice. I went for a 4K run Wednesday morning and on Friday afternoon I took Josie out for a run with me. She likes to pull on the leash which is a pain for me but I know if I work on it, she'll get better. We managed to do close to 5K. That was fantastic because now I know I can do it and faster than I thought!

I'm not sure how this week will look though...
I meant to run Monday morning but I was too tired so I slept in...
I did run this morning (Tuesday) but only 3K...
I may run tomorrow morning (Wednesday) or...
I may run Thursday...
I'll probably take Friday as a rest day...
Saturday is my first 5K race...
And Sunday will probably be a rest day...

Anyway, I'm not too worried about it. I think as long as I get 3 runs in a week I'll be happy. Anything more is just a bonus. What I really need to work on is strength training. I have great intentions but no follow through! I have to work on that.

Recap and April Goals

March is over! I can't get over how fast time goes, really it's scary. I wish winter would go though. It seems to be hanging on. It's depressing.

I hit most of my March Goals, I'm shocked actually!

- run outside for 30 minutes at least 6 times - PASS - I ran more than 8 times and did over 30K!

- finish 2 wips - well I finished 1 wip and 3 projects so I'm going to say PASS

- blog once a week - PASS

- paint the living room - FAIL we're no where near painting yet, still mudding.

So what does April look like?

Hopefully like this...

Ah, that would be beautiful! I'm so sick of the cold weather! Down with the -20C windchills!

My April Goals are:
- run my first 5K race in under 45 minutes
- run 40-50K this month
- knit 3 baby sweaters
- knit 4 blanket squares for the Epic Sock Yarn Blanket
- blog at least 4 times
- do some strength training once a week

How about you? Did you pass on your March Goals? Got any April Goals?
