My March Madness bracket is still somewhat/not really intact and I achieved a huge accomplishment!!

First off, I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend or week (depending on which holiday you celebrate!). It was definitely weird not being around family for the holiday.

I was not with my family on Easter but at least I got a care package!!!
These will probably not help my running though.

And I am for certain that March Madness has not been kind to our brackets. I started off well (for the most part) and then it kind of went downhill after the first round. Except, my national champion is still in the running! I go to school at the University of Michigan and, by default, picked them to win. I guess we will see what happens this Saturday. And my alma mater Quinnipiac University is in the Frozen Four for the NCAA Division 1 College Hockey Championship as well. Gotta pull for my two blue and gold teams!

In other news that is more relevant to this blog: this past Sunday, I ran for over an hour for the first time ever! I completed 7 miles, in the misty rain in about 1 hour and 7 minutes! It felt awesome and I am still feeling the effects of it today as I am about to get ready for a 4.5 miler in the indoor track (boo).

I have just over 4 weeks left before the big day in Pittsburgh and I am feeling more confident each day. I know that the next few weeks will be hard since I have finals coming up!

It is time to head to the gym for the 4.5 super fun indoor track run. I am wondering when spring will finally come to Michigan.
Thanks for reading!
