Rating April

Well, April has been an interesting one to say the least! Today's Tuesdays on the Run topic is about rating the month of April and overall, I would give it a B-. We had some really great highs and some pretty rough patches too - but I'd say it all evened out in the end!

Tuesdays On The Run

On the running front, I managed to log about 15 miles per week with one of those weeks at 12 miles. Most of those weeks were also with my little running buddy by my side (or rather, in front of me). My husband's ever changing work schedule made it difficult to take very many solo runs although I did manage a few!

My total mileage for the month of April is not great but my goal was to keep moving, despite the circumstances. My knee has been giving me trouble and this weekend, I came down with a pretty nasty cold. I'm not pushing the training too hard right now although I do have a 5 miler coming up next month. I would much rather have my knee improve and feel 100% for fall half marathon season.

April's crazy weather also made for some interesting running conditions. I never knew if I needed to wear short or long sleeves! I was excited to pull out the gatorade for the first time this season! Yay Spring warmth!

Speaking of weather, we also had that random tornado pass through our backyard. I am still kind of in shock over that one...

Despite the crazy weather, we even managed a few days in the pool this April and a few days at the park!

One of the big high's for the month was Brayden's 2nd birthday! I loved celebrating with him at his Puppy Dog Pals party

Yes, April was an overall good month in my book! :) Have a great Tuesday!

  1. Looks like a good month for you! Happy Birthday to Brayden. I still have a 2yr old birthday party cup in my cabinet and my youngest is 12. Lol!

  2. The weather's been really random all over! I hope your knee improves.

  3. Hope your knee feels better - hardest thing for a runner to do is take time off, so maybe getting the cold has a hidden benefit, yucky as it is.

  4. Wow, can't believe you were swimming this month. I just bought a bucket of chlorine for our pool today so hopefully it won't be much longer for us too.
    Keep an eye on that knee lady!

    1. Isn't that crazy?! Thankfully it's warmed up a lot more here lately so we've been able to enjoy the pool more!
