Sayonara March! Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Do you ever have one of those months where you want a do-over but then when you put a little thought into it, you just never want to see that month of your life again?  No?  Me either.  I mean…well, now that I put it that way, I make it all out like it was horrible and horrible things happened and yadda yadda yadda, there’s an uprising and the Capitol was overthrown.

 

 
So March just kind of sucked for me.  Nothing bad happened except for my bad attitude.  Could I claim that I’m sick with Spring Fever?  Yep, I’m just going to blame it on the crappy weather.  Yesterday, I sucked it up…literally.  I ran into a headwind that was so strong, I fought it for the first 2.5 miles until I turned around.  Then it was pushing on me so hard…had I been going for a world record…it wouldn’t have counted.  Check out my splits-only impressive to me in the negative splits department:
1: 11:09
2: 11:24
3: 11:06
4: 10:41
5: 10:44
Not too shabby for using my normal walk/run style (style, when I run.  I know, I'm too much!) and barely being able to breath. Five miles in the books when the running hasn’t been stellar…I’ll take it.  Sucky wind and all.  I made that wind my beach.
So to sum things up, and to catch you all up on what March was like or wasn’t like for me:
  • Volleyball ended.
  • Daylight savings kicked my butt.
  • I diagnosed myself with Morton’s Neuroma.  Basically, unless I have arch support, I get a shooting pain between my 3rd and 4th toe on my right foot.  I am now all grown up and am forced to now wearing “sensible shoes” that don’t crowd my toes.  I can’t even walk around barefoot at home. Lurv me some arch support!
  • I watched The Hunger Games. 
  • I downloaded the trilogy on my phone.  I have read the first two books in less than a week.  I console myself and tell myself at least it’s not Twilight.

 
  • Dignity?  I gots it! Oh and then I watched The Hunger Games again...as in we just got out of the theater less than an hour ago.

 
  • I made healthy brownies with black beans in them for a potluck at work.  I redeemed myself with party bread last Friday.  I don't have pictures of either.  Just picture in your head hum drum brownies...and then a rockin' all nighter type of sourdough party bread that stays in Vegas if you know what I mean.
 

 
The end!
PS April…let’s you and me be besties?
