  3. Do yoga instead each week
  4. Continue tennis once a week
  5. Sign up for another half marathon
  6. Continue to eat healthier

The A-Z Blogging Challenge has been put on every year since 2010 by Arlee Bird over at Tossing It Out and the idea is to blog every day (except Sundays) and to do it Thematically/Alphabetically.

Every day you blog (starting with the letter A on April 1st, B on April 2nd and so on) according to what letter of the alphabet you are on.

Sounded like fun!!  So I signed up.  I will be posting on my running and running related thoughts. We’ll see if I can keep it up.

Feel free to join … just go over to The A-Z Challenge blog and follow the directions.

Happy Running!  How was your March? Are you participating in this challenge?

  1. I like the idea of the challenge too..I may just copy you:)

    Your month was most excellent. And I think martinis are completely healthy. Alcohol thins the blood right? That must be good..
