Sunday, March 11 - 3.26 miles -  First long run since I signed up for the marathon.  Since I was visiting Mom & Dad for the weekend I ran the trail behind their house.  The rough and hilly terrain made for very slow going and was tough on my ankles.  Capital Hills flat sidewalks are cake compared to that.  I should probably get shoes with better supports.   The weather was nice though.  The local mountain bike team looped me.

Sunday, March 18 - This week was all about cross training.  I swam, biked, worked out on the elliptical trainer and went to yoga class.  I am missing my long run this weekend because we are flying to California for vacation.  I'll try to get a couple runs in while we are there.

End of March - I lost a bunch of training time this month.  We had a great vacation. The picture is of me and Mac at Topeka Canyon. Because I am the photographer, I am in almost none of the photos.
     I ran twice in LA.  We did a lot of walking, I stretched a lot and did two short yoga workouts. Felt great.  We relaxed and I took a ton of pictures. Click here if you want to see my photo album of the trip.
   After we got back though, I came down with a whopper of a cold.  I was sick (and therefore off training) from the 1st to the 11th of April.  Yuck. Started working out again on the 12th.
