RSS feeds wasn&#8217;t too hard, there are quite a few that I don&#8217;t read anymore or really ever!<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t really say that I&#8217;ve noticed a difference, but I&#8217;m sure less clutter is better!<\/p>\n<p>For my other March goals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I would like to continue doing core work every other day 16\/31 days.<\/li>\n<li>I would like to hit 50 miles running miles for the month.<\/li>\n<li>I would like to ride my bike at least 10 times this month (hopefully some outside).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I completely forgot about the core work and didn&#8217;t really do anything. I did do some of my PT type exercises whenever my leg hurt. \u00a0I should at least do those daily!<\/p>\n<p>March was actually the worst month of running this year!! Ooops&#8230; 31 miles. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0Without a training plan and the inconsistency of our schedule it has been hard. Now that it is actually getting warmer I&#8217;ll be able to run with the kids on the weekend. \u00a0Plus I&#8217;ve been trying to ride more since I&#8217;m doing a 100 miler in a few weeks!<\/p>\n<p>I did actually record 10 rides on my bike!! 3 of them were commuting and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamcrossworld.com\/running\/2014\/first-outdoor-ride-of-the-season\/\">weekend long ride<\/a>! It felt great to be outside even if for some of my commute rides the trail had icy patches!!<\/p>\n<p>50% isn&#8217;t terrible&#8230; right?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to recommit to the same extra goals &#8211; 50 miles running and core work every other day. \u00a0Since the monthly challenge is riding every day I&#8217;ll easily hit 10 rides!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March is ending on a warm note, with April starting with some snow! \u00a0It really is Spring, it is just taking some time to get here!
