A little over 200 miles, so I went into this year pretty tired. \u00a0Ran as well as I could in January but ended the month a little below the miles I needed to make the 2015 goal.<\/p>\n<p>February. \u00a0Wow. \u00a0The entire month of February was one giant taper. \u00a0PLUS, Feb is a short month! \u00a0Yikes! \u00a0My taper was pretty lame. \u00a0I kept piling on the miles while trying to catch up with myself. \u00a0Ran a marathon on Valentine&#8217;s Day and did a quasi taper for a 50K the first weekend of March.<\/p>\n<p>So, here we are at the end of March. \u00a0The first quarter of 2015 is drawing to a close. \u00a0Time to tally things up and see just how things were stacking up with this goal I let myself be talked into.<\/p>\n<p>My mileage total for March was 184.40 miles. \u00a0This was a pretty hefty month as far as miles go. \u00a0I added all three months together. \u00a0I really, really, really wanted to be close to 500 miles but didn&#8217;t know how short I would be.<\/p>\n<p>If I was super low, I didn&#8217;t know how I would be able to catch up my miles in April. \u00a0So, I grabbed a piece of paper, a pencil and started counting&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>509.15 miles.<\/p>\n<p>Sweet!<\/p>\n<p>I am right where I need to be!<\/p>\n<p>This also means that I can and will take a rest day tomorrow!<\/p>\n<p>Rest Day&#8230;has a nice ring to it, doesn&#8217;t it???<\/p>\n<p>Nice to know that I&#8217;m not going to have to be frantically playing the catch up on miles game.<\/p>\n<p>Whew!<\/p>\n<p>*Next race: \u00a0April 11. \u00a0Columbus Pilgrimage Half Marathon. \u00a0Columbus, Mississippi.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/?attachment_id=3011\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3011\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3011\" alt=\"11079616_762278900558915_5830215734515795256_n\" src=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/11079616_762278900558915_5830215734515795256_n.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/11079616_762278900558915_5830215734515795256_n.jpg 640w, http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/11079616_762278900558915_5830215734515795256_n-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/11079616_762278900558915_5830215734515795256_n-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On a whim, I registered for the 2015 miles in 2015 with RunTheEdge. \u00a0I had originally planned on attempting 2000 miles for the 2015 calendar year but then one of my &#8220;friends&#8221; had to go and point out to me that if I registered with RunTheEdge and run 2015 miles, I would score a very [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6,8,3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3010"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3010"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3010\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3012,"href":"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3010\/revisions\/3012"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3010"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3010"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3010"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
