March Workout Goals - Overall Summary

The month started out great but then went all downhill when work sucked the life out of me.  I blew a few of these out of the water and was close to meeting some. If I paid more attention the last few days I would have hit the core workout one.  I don't think I've ever run this many times in a single month and this month I'm injured and was supposed to take time off.  This is probably why I'm still injured!  I didn't meet all my goals but I'd call this month a success because I ran a 50k and a 30k and still managed to do some other stuff.

1. Complete 18 cardio workouts (running, exercise bike, or elliptical)  (February = 18, not met; January = 19, met; December = 18, met; November = 18, met) [This month I will allow 10 minutes on the bike to count if it is a warmup to knee exercises. Usually 15 minutes is the minimum.]
1. 3/2 Run
2. 3/3 Bike (10 min)
3. 3/4 Run
4. 3/5 Bike (11 min)
5. 3/6 Bike (12 min)

2. Complete 13 core workouts (February = 13, not met; January = 13, met; December = 12, met; November = 12, not met) [Usually 5 minutes is the minimum or I won't count it. I will aim for more 6 minute workouts or longer.]

4. Distance: Run 60 total miles [Reach goal = 70 miles] (February = 60, met; January = 13, met; December = 40, November = 65, met) - Goal created without comparing it to my training plan but with my 2012 mileage goal to be 700 which averages to a little less than 60 a month. 
1. 7.51 (3/2) + 9.27 (3/4)  = 16.78
2. 1.25 (3/9) + .65 (3/10) + 10.17 (3/11) = 12.07 {28.85}
3. 1.42 (3/14) + 2.38 (3/15) + 31.23 (3/17) = 35.03 (new high week)
4. 1.41 (3/21) + 2.51 (3/23) + 2.01 (3/23) + 2.54 (3/24) + 8.01 (3/25) =  16.48 {80.35}
5. .58 (3/26) + 2.04 (3/28) + 2.5 (3/29) + 2.01 (3/30) +18.95 (3/31) = 26.08 {106.43} --- new high mileage in a single month (October was the old high with 104.4)
5. Workout with Dave 5 times. (February = 9, not met; January = 10, met; December = 12, but with all other activities it is hard to also workout with Dave, November = 8, met)

2. 3/14 Small one with photos taken by me.
3. 3/15 With Jen. Total of 1499 pictures!
2. No more than 8 rest days all month (sitting at stretching or doing foam roller exercises means it is not a rest day)
