What are you training for? Date?
I'm training for the ability to train? I'm starting running again after 7 weeks off from an injury. I had signed up for Disney as my first marathon and I'd really like to still do it so I need to be in marathon training shape by August. We'll see.
What is your training plan for this week?
Run 2mi every other day. This week only 1 walk break.
Any issues or problems?
My ankle hasn't been hurting but it's achy. Doctor says that's normal. I'm having big problems being pessimistic. I was so excited signed up for Disney. I'm not sure if its doable.
Highlights from last week or AW's?
I'm running again!
What is your favorite quick and healthy meal?
Tacos and fajitas in salad form! A lot less cheese and shell but still yummy.

Any issues or problems? I had a stomach bug 1.5 weeks ago. Was pretty much over it, but now having issues today. Going to a GI next week to see if the problems I'm having lately are just by chance, or if there's more to it all.
Highlights from last week or AW's? None. Haven't done anything since 5/12. Saturday is going to really suck because I think my time will be absolutely awful, and I'll be lucky to get my time from last year, let alone a PR.
What is your favorite quick and healthy meal? Bonus points for recipes or links! Sauteed zuchini/summer squash and tomatoes over pasta. I make it different every time. Saute squash and onions in olive oil, add different Italian seasoning, throw in tomatoes and let them cook down.

What is your training plan for this week? Playing it safe. :-) 4 miles today, probably 5-7 on Thursday and a few easy miles on Friday
Any issues or problems? I'm in that phantom injury limbo. This weekend my right piriformis was super sore, and now it feels better but my left hamstring is just throbbing. It felt loosened up some after my run, so I think it should all be okay..
Highlights from last week or AW's? The CEP compression socks I got for 1/3 off have arrived! I'm used to sleeves, but the socks were awesome.
What is your favorite quick and healthy meal? Bonus points for recipes or links!

Highlights from last week or AW's? I actually swam! I took one class last month and needed to put the tools into action (I'm still just getting my face in the water). So I got up early Friday and did a 5:30 a.m. swim before work. I did really well. Also - 20 mile bike ride (see above). lol
What is your favorite quick and healthy meal? Bonus points for recipes or links! chicken tacos with chicken breasts and green enchalada sauce in the crockpot (all day) and then use that for filling for either lettuce or tortilla shell tacos. So delicious. and makes a good filling for enchaladas or a casserole the next night.
