Oh March, I can't believe you are over! March was kind of a weird month at work and at home but I still managed to read 15 books, 4 of which are books I own. I plan to focus more on reading books I own in April (hopefully I can get more than 4 in!) and I am pretty proud to be able to say that I haven't bought a book since January. I also am making good progress on all of the challenges I am participating in so I am pretty happy about that.
I hit a few bumps in my half marathon training in March but ended the month on a high note. I was having major issues with my feet and thought I should buy some new shoes. After spending a bunch of money on new shoes, they just made matters worse. After an extrememly painful 10 mile run last Saturday, I was worried I wasn't going to make it to race day. I took a few days off, modified my route and went back to my old shoes. Today I had an awesome 10 mile run averaging a 9.2 minutes per mile (I know it's not that fast but for me it's crazy good). The race is 3 weeks away and I am feeling more confident about it.
This month I have felt really sick of blogging. I really do love it but it takes a lot of time to keep up with everything. I am going to keep going with it but I am going to modify how I do it because it has felt more like a chore lately. I am going to cut back on my participation in memes; I love the ones I participate in but I don't always want to or have the time for it. There are few I have always done but I think I will only participate if I have time or the topic is one I am excited about. I also am really going to try to read slower and write reviews as I finish a book, not a week later. I feel like I have been pumping out a bunch of crap reviews because I am short on time or I just didn't have a lot of thoughts on the book.
Anyway, March is over and I am looking forward to April. It is looking like it will be a busy month but I am hoping it will be better than March.
