February Is Behind Me - March Will Be Better

January was fantastic! I made a plan to exercise with videos and run and fulfilled nearly every single planned video workout and run. I blogged about it almost four times a week.

February was not so great… I make a plan to exercise with videos and run and bike and barely made it through 75% of those planned runs, bike rides and exercise videos. And the blogging? Pssht. Eight entries when I had planned for 16! My nikerunning.com February goal was for 16 runs and I got in 11. Sigh.

What happened in February? I don’t know. Maybe the confidence of January let me believe I could slip, and I slid instead. Maybe the addition of the biking to a planned five days a week is too much? A co-worker left in mid-February and the load at work increased. But I have vowed to not let “too busy” be an excuse.

It is Sunday, March 1 and I am:

• 7 weeks away from the Unser half marathon
• 9 weeks away from the Run 4 the Zoo
• 11 weeks away from the Santa Fe Century

This month, for March, I vow no excuses for skipping workouts. March is a new month and there will be and 80% success rate in my planned workouts starting with Monday, March 2nd.
