Wonderful, Busy, Crazy Week

What a wonderful, busy, crazy week! We started off with Easter, and ended with a wedding celebration of my husband’s youngest brother and the last of his (5) siblings to get married.

So yeah, the week was a little different than usual.

But it did include a run in NYC (albeit in 30 degrees and rain) with my friends!

Anyway, here was the day-by-day:

March was a good month in terms of training. I got in nearly 160 miles of running, stuck to my 4x a week strength training and miraculously have remained uninjured! Can I keep this up until race day? I sure hope so!

Here’s how it looked:
