Yes, I'm counting tenths of miles. I ran about 1 more mile in March than April. It would have been more, but I kept getting sick. My long runs are getting longer, so I'm happy.

[lilypad1126]

Run: 120 miles
Crosstraining: 6x
Strength: 8x
Core: 7x

This was a good month. I'm upping my mileage, I'm consistently upping my core and strength. I don't know if I'm getting faster, but I'm going in the right direction.

Don't be discouraged. If you're discouraged, I'd have to be - I'm doing a 25k in like 6 weeks and my mileage is lower than yours! How long are your long runs up to? And when is your half?

It’s in 6.5 weeks. I’m planning on doing Hanson’s Method for my first marathon in Nov, so I’m trying out his half plan for this, and it’s high mileage. I would have been coming into it with a comfortable base to transition from, but March was a cluster of a month (30 of those 68 miles I did in the last 4 days of March, lol so my overall mileage was way down). And I’m looking at 43 miles for this week and I’m just like... oy.
So i guess I’m a bit intimidated and also frustrated at how much I’m trying to juggle in life right now (because I *want* to do this) and I think maybe I need to make the decision to be selfish for the next 6ish weeks and put myself and training first and other life things and people will just have to wait.

I'm not familiar with Hanson's Method. But I think you've got this! I'm loosely using a Hal Higdon training plan, by which I mean I looked at it a couple of times and am mostly winging it   My overall mileage is low but my long runs are doing okay, and I'm subbing Crossfit for some of the low mileage days. I was thinking about my training and racing today, and realized that I must be crazy. As in, I specifically picked a 25k because I wanted a real challenge. Which, well, so far it's pretty challenging. But as if my life wasn't challenging enough already? I work full-time and have 3 little kids! What was I thinking! And yet, it is really refreshing to prioritize myself and my training for once. To get any weekend workouts in, I have to put them on the calendar, or they won't happen. And I do my long runs on Wednesday mornings (taking a half day at work). I just finished 11 trail miles and I am so so tired right now.
