March Numbers

Another month gone with absolutely no yards in the pool.  For those of you keeping score, that makes it 3 of the last 4 months with no pool time.  In fact, I have a whopping 6700 yards total YEAR TO DATE and 7700 since November!!!!  It's been about 4 years since I've had this level of non-swimming, but truth be told, I'm perfectly OK with it.  I also didn't log any biking miles this month either....not a single one.  What I did end up doing, was plenty of running.  I logged 55.19 miles in the month of March which would have been good enough for the most in 2013 (the most was 26.89), 6th most in my IMAZ 2012 year, 6th most in the "busted" 2011 RNR Marathon year, and 6th most in my IMAZ 2010 year.  Since I started utilizing the metronome and REALLY concentrating on nothing but form, I've noticed that my "easy/all day" pace has gone from roughly 9:30 min/mile to 8:30 min/mile.  That's HUGE!

Check out what I stumbled across, about 1/2 a mile from my front door, while out on a run:
