In March…

I ran 35 miles (on my way towards my goal of 366 miles in 2012) - it was less than the 41 miles I ran in January, more than the 33 miles in February, and enough to keep me on pace to achieve my goal. 

On top of running, I only walked 6 miles.  That’s pretty woeful considering I walked 17 miles in February, mainly consisting of 5 minute walking breaks at work!

Went to gym class twice and did “30 Day Shred” once.

I spent 13 hours and 22 minutes exercising.  My least number of hours in a month so far in 2012.

We cooked 16 meals at home.

I lost zero pounds.

But, I had a weight-loss epiphany and started cutting back sugar and simple carbs at the end of the month. 

Todd ran 42 miles.

Todd biked 235 miles.

Todd swam 9 miles.

Todd completed the Ironman California 70.3.  He’s a total stud. 

We took 707 photos.

I didn’t read as much as I would have liked.  I finished “Georgia Bottoms” the day I went to jury duty.

I went to jury duty but didn’t get picked for a trial.

Movies watched:  “Moneyball”, “Hunger Games”, and “The Muppets”.

I journaled online daily at Oh Life 31 times.  Haven’t missed a day this year.

I journaled in my Moleskine daily planner 31 times.

I went to see a sports medicine specialist doctor about my right leg IT band.  I got referred to physical therapy, but haven’t gone yet.

I wore a headband to interval gym class, and Susan laughed at me because I looked ridiculous.  I didn’t care.  It’s utilitarian. 

I went to my primary care physician about my left nostril bleeding, and he cauterized my nose!  After that my nose wouldn’t stop running for hours, but the bleeding stopped.

I finished four more weeks of Project Life in my album.

I celebrated a birthday.  Todd took me to dinner at Urban Solace.  Afterwards we had the Trinity Chocolate Cake at Heaven Sent Desserts.

We had Ethiopian/Abyssinian food for the first time ever. 

I learned more things I could do with my Silhouette, it’s awesome.

We snuggled with Noodle a lot.

Todd planned a combined baby(ies) shower at work for Julie, and for Ken’s twins.  He got catering from El Nopalito and everyone loved it!

Our friends Cass & Pete gave birth to their daughter.

I visited Sally at her house two weeks before her scheduled c-section.  Took some photos of her and had lunch.

Sally had her twin babies and named them John and Nina.

Todd brought soup to our friends Yaiza & Karsten, who had a baby in January.

I bought a few wines at World Market.  I don’t know much about wines and I’m new at it, but I liked the Barefoot Moscato.

Todd won a Toastmasters speech contest and now he gets to compete at the next level in April.

We saw Bela Fleck & The Flecktones at Anthology.

I went on a Girls Night Out cooking class with some friends and made Spanish tapas. 

Todd’s mom got us tickets to the Titanic Exhibition for my birthday.  We took a day off on a Monday and went to breakfast at Crest Café, followed by the exhibition. 

I had lunch with my favorite friend Meera.

Our Ohio State Buckeyes made it all the way to the Final Four in the NCAA basketball tournament, losing to Kansas in the semi-finals.

We had dinner with AJ & Meera and the kids at Smashburger, then hung out at our house playing Mario Kart afterwards.

Time flies when you’re busy or having fun!  Three months of 2012 down already!
