Happy April

Spring used to be my favorite season.  I love flowers and I love the budding trees and the sun after the winter months.  Then one day I decided that I liked the fall better, the colorful trees and the brisk air after the summer, there's something different in the air in the fall that I love.  But lately summer has been my go-to favorite season, the sun, and the warmth, and the sun . . .  When living in western Washington there's often 2 seasons, rain and 5 weeks of summer.  Although, I did see this meme lately that sadly is more true than it used to be

I did notice there's not a single picture of the rain in it, it must have been made by someone in Spokane (eastern WA).  Which makes sense because I don't recognize the building in the pictures. 

I love the sunny spring we are currently having, but someone mentioned to me that the last few years has had warm springs which creates the crazy wild fires we've had, so I guess now I'm concerned about the beautiful sunny weather we had in March. 

Anyway, my running since last Thursday . . . I ran more than a mile 4 days in a row, but I didn't do a long run over the weekend.  I went for a two mile walk with my sister, Maddox and one of his friends on Saturday, which was nice.  I wish it had been longer, but the kids didn't want to.  I ran 4 miles after I got home from hanging out with my sister.  Then I went hiking yesterday and when I got home I didn't want to do a long run, so I only ran 4 miles.  However, my total mileage for the month of March ended up being 102 miles.  =) 

I was rereading my last post and it's funny because I talked about not wanting to run much lately and how I haven't been running very much, but yet I hit the highest mileage I've had in a month for a year and a half. =)  And the last 2 weeks I've only had 4 "rest days" (I consider my rest days the days I only run a mile).  However, even though I ran a lot(ish), I didn't do so well with my food. 

I'm not going to go back to obsessively telling you about my weight, no one cares except me, but I didn't lose anything at all in March.  I will say that I came back from Hawaii only 2 lbs heavier and I was back at my pre-Hawaii weight a week after I was home, so that's very good.  But as of April 1st I'm still at my pre-Hawaii weight, which is a good thing, but no loss for a month.  My happy weight is still 5 lbs away, but I would LOVE to be 10 lbs lighter.  I just need to get back into the grove of being good and only having one cheat day instead of 3 or 4. . .(then it's not a cheat day, it's just the way things are. =)

I loved my instagram picture from yesterday, so here's my Sunday run.
