Runs - 26
W/Os - 5
Injured (not arm related)- 0
The Bad: This is an easy one. My busted up left wing. With regards to running, the fracture limited me over a 10 day period. I easily lost out on 75 miles of running during this period.
Don't let the total number of runs this month fool you. 6 of those runs were ran with Bisbee shortly after the break. Rarely did the miles exceed 1.5 miles much less dip below a 9 minute pace.
The Good: Well actually the amazing. Birth of my daughter. Almost 2 weeks in and I'm loving every second of being a parent. Even at 4 in the morning, rocking the little one back to sleep, I feel like the luckiest guy around.
Even with a few disruptions in training, I got a pretty productive training month in. My Jan & Feb totals this year doubled what I got last year same time frame. Again, amazing what a non injured (leg specific) body can turn out. Doesn't hurt to have a pretty strong base of mileage built in as well.
My gym sessions were only impacted slightly by the fractured arm. I was aiming to take a brake prior to the birth of lil AEY and therefore only lost out on 1 maybe 2 trips to the gym to throw some weights around.
Looking Forward: Understanding that there is a difference between being lazy and being tired. Sleeping only 3 hours over the night and not getting in a long run starting at 7am the next morning doesn't make me lazy.
As the arm gets better and the days get longer and warmer, my desire to get after it is going to be extremely high. My ability to balance family, work and running will be tested and I'm looking forward to seeing how March plays out.
