Today I had my first half marathon for the year. I've done 4 half marathons before, and my previous PB was 2.17.38 at my first half marathon. From there my half marathon times got worse, with me developing syncope along with the associated pre and post-syncope symptoms. To be honest it was disappointing when I trained hard for an event and didn't do as well as I had previously.
Today was a different story! I did the Geelong Half Marathon, which I've done previously (my time was a 2.25.20 last year), and OH MY GOODNESS I SMASHED IT!
You may remember that one of my goals for this year was to run a half marathon at 2.15 or less. And again, I SMASHED IT!
So what was my time?
The time on my watch was 2.08.48! Obviously official times may vary by a few seconds, but certainly not by much, as the start time clock was at 2.09. So that was a SMASHING of both my PB and my goal race time for the year!
I'm super stoked by this!
On other goals for the year being smashed, I've already reached my goal for the year on the leg press (250kg, or 5 times my body weight). Hooray!

My March Goals
Finally publishing my March goals and how I did with them. They were:
1. To run 120km
2. To row 30km
3. To complete my SEALfit program
4. To work on my (8 week) Bikram yoga challenge.
I did pretty well with all of these goals.
I SMASHED the running goal, running just over 124km with a few days to go.
I also SMASHED the rowing goal, even though pretty much none of the times that I set aside to row actually eventuated. I had to be very concious to row when I had some spare time, but I did it!
I completed my SEALfit program. (I will be repeating this program, and at the moment I've both completed and am going back through the basic program).
I didn't do so well with my bikram challenge. The first week I had gastro, and then in the 4th week I had the week of everything happening (I saw the ballet, got my shift changed, had an appointment, had plans at church, and something else that I can't remember... all in one week). So these two weeks I only did one class, and I needed to do four classes a week. I did a few extra classes in weeks two and 3, but I wasn't able to get back on track with the classes in March. (It's on my goal list for April)
