M: 5 mile run T&W: rest, traveling I95 with the kids (at least we have AC?!) Th: 8 miles, treadmill Fri: 4 miles, strength class Sat: 10-12 miles Sun: ?
No real problems or highlights. Just treading on through. Looking forward to getting home and getting on some sort of schedule.
What are you training for? Date? Tri-state Throwdown, August 10th. A few standards were announced: pull-ups in the 5-10 rep range, 185 dead lift, running at least a mile. All doable, but the run is going to slow me down a LOT.
Training plan for the week? Class MTTF, Saturday if I'm not too beat up.
Problems/issues/vents? Ankle sprain last week, really fucked me up. Then I bashed it against a chair wheel yesterday which set me back even more. I'm not running in class, or squatting below parallel, but I'm still working out.
Highlights to share from last week? Yesterday, I PR'd again on my back squat. All this squat work I've been doing is paying off.
What are you training for? Date? Just got asked to run an 8k with a friend on Saturday night 7/20
Training plan for the week? Tu: shooting for 3 miles after class, W: soccer, Th: 2ish miles, F: softball game, Sa: Race at 8:45 PM
Problems/issues/vents? I play soccer 3 times a week and softball once a week, and was going to start running (short distances, between 1 and 3 miles) a couple times a week but summer classes have been eating up my free time. Then my friend who has never raced before asked me to join as her FI had to drop out. I'm happy to run with her, just wish I had trained more!
Highlights to share from last week? Not running related, but I had a pretty sweet assist in my soccer game
What are you training for? Date? Boulder 70.3, 8/4
Training plan for the week? M: Masters, 4miles w/ stroller, spin T: 2 hrs trainer, 30 mins w/stroller brick W: Masters, 12 mile long run R: 2 hrs trainer F: Masters, 12 mile long run S: 3.5 hr ride S: rest
I'm completely cramming before taper starts. Oh man.
Problems/issues/vents? I'm at that place mentally where I'm just sort of over it. Lots of little aches and discomfort, and I'm not sleeping that well. Every time I train for a bigger race, I get so mad at myself for feeling like this because I know I should be doing my best to enjoy it all, but at some point it's just a lot. And, while I feel like it's a lot, I always think I should be doing more.
Highlights to share from last week? AG 2nd at my Olympic and new 1500 OW swim PR of 25:14
What are you training for? Date? Ironman Whistler Training plan for the week? Monday: rest Tuesday: 90 minute swim, track workout Wednesday: 60 minute bike, 30 minute run Thursday: 90 minute swim (I might cut this out, I have an OWS race on Saturday) 90 minute bike ride with intervals or hill repeats, 30 minute run Friday: 2:30 run (usually do this on Saturday but I have a race and a soccer game to watch) Saturday: 3.2 mile swim race Sunday: 5 hour ride
Problems/issues/vents? Getting my neck worked on still. It's feeling better.
Highlights to share from last week? Went in my first 100 mile bike ride! I felt so good!!
What are you training for? Date? Columbus Half Marathon (Oct), Philly Half Marathon (Nov)
Training plan for the week? Mon - 6 mile tempo run Tues - Insanity bootcamp class, 3 mile walk Weds - 5 mile run which will include 5 x 400s @ 5K pace and 90 mins Hot Yoga Thurs - 6/7 mile run Fri - Rest - pedicure:) Sat - 4/5 mile easy run, 60 mins yoga Sun - 11 mile run w/ running group

Highlights to share from last week? I like my running group this summer - lots of people to talk to while we run:)
What are you training for? Date? Chicago 10/13/13 and RnR Savannah 11/09/13

Training plan for the week?
M : rest T : 4 miles (intervals) and strength training W : 2 miles easy, strength Th: rest F: strength. S : 7 or 8 miles
Problems/issues/vents? None (knock on wood)
Highlights to share from last week? After my long run last week, I realized just how much my pace has improved since my last half. My 11 miles pace was almost a full minute per mile faster than my half pace.
What are you training for? Date? Chips and Salsa half on Sept 15th, Nike Women's half on Oct 20th
Training plan for the week? M - 40 minute light run/walk, lifting T - yoga W - 40 minute light run/walk, lifting Th - yoga F - 40 minute light run/walk, lifting S - 7 mile run/walk with group, packing Su - moving and yelling at my husband
Problems/issues/vents? Well, still dealing with the anemia nonsense. It will be a while before I can go back to spin, speed work and the rest of my cross training, but I am starting to do what I can to at least stay in finishing shape for my fall races.
Highlights to share from last week? I am starting to feel a little bit better! I can tell a noticeable difference when I take the stairs and I think I am breathing better overall. I went for my first "run" in 2 full weeks, which was really 3 minutes of light jogging and 1 minute of walking (repeated 10 times). But it went well! My heart rate stayed lower than it had been and running my old pace actually felt easier. I was actually even a little faster on some of the intervals (though towards the end I had to slow it back down a little to keep my heart rate from getting to high).
I am very excited about this, and will be even more excited when I get to go back to my normal routine.

What are you training for? Date? Pittsburgh Great Race 10K on 9/29.
Training plan for the week? M: Rest T: 2 mile easy run W: Not sure. I'd like to bike, but it's crazy hot Th: 5 mile tempo run F: 2 mile easy run S: Rest S: 9 miles
Problems/issues/vents? Just the heat, but I am pretty sure I'm not the only one.
Highlights to share from last week? I've really started to enjoy my long runs now that I have figured out how to slooooooow down. Pacing was something I've struggled with, and this training plan (Smart Coach) has really helped me with that.
What are you training for? Date? Seawheeze half marathon in Vancouver, August 10.
Training plan for the week? M - spin T- run 2 miles W - spin R - run 3-4 miles F - run 6 miles Sat - yoga Sun - off
Problems/issues/vents? This mornings run should have been 3 or 4 miles, but got cut to 2 miles with a lot of walking b/c my quad is still destroyed from my 15k race on Sunday and felt like my leg was going to buckle every time my left foot hit the ground.
Highlights to share from last week? My 15k race on Sunday was not the shit show I was anticipating. A nice storm came through and brought temps down to about 75 with a very nice drizzle for the race. Much better than the 85-90 temps we were expecting.

MCM 10/27 (still haven't totally committed, but I'm seeing if I can manage the training)
Training plan: M: 8 miles with 4 @ HM pace T: 4 miles + strength W: 10 miles Th: strength + yoga F: 4 miles Sat: 14 miles Sun: rest
If all goes as planned, I think this will be my first 40 mpw in 4 years. And I'm only on week 3, so I'm venturing into new training territory.
Problems: Just the heat and humidity
Highlights: My long run last week included 8 miles at goal marathon pace. It was tough, but I did it. (And then I thought "Why is this so hard? I could easily crank out this pace for 8 miles a couple of months ago?" I blame the weather.)
Hi! I was around this board last year when I was working out. I kind of gave up/quit/don't know what happened but I'm starting over. Again.
Training for: Warrior Dash, first weekend in September.
Training plan: C210K Week 3
Problems: I started the C210K program a few weeks ago, realizing that I had little time to train for the WD I signed up for again in March. My calves hurt and my ankles hurt. I'm getting used to new running shoes. Highlight: Um, well, I made it through week 2 of C210K. I've completed the C25K program a few times over the years. I decided to push it a little further this time and do 10K.

Problems/issues/vents? DH has a new job (yay!), but it's going to throw my schedule all off. He doesn't have a set working time, so I'll constantly have to be scrambling to fit my workouts in willy-nilly. I'm not liking it.
Highlights to share from last week? I ran 5 miles for the first time in my life.

I thought i was the only person that ever used the phrase willy-nilly. DH makes fun of me for it.

LOL! I say a lot of outdated terms apparently. It comes from being a reader of older literature I think.

I say that all of the time when I teach, complete with hand motions. "You can't sit at your desk writing willy-nilly, you have to have a plan, blah, blah, blah."

Thursday: 30 minute run, Pilates Friday: Splash and dash - 400m swim, 1 mile run Saturday: 35 minute run Sunday: rest
I also need to get in a yoga class in there somewhere for my weekly strength training. I just might have to do a video on Saturday sometime even though I'd rather go to a class.
Problems/issues/vents? I'm having a flair up in my foot. I don't think it's my posterior tibial tendonitis flaring up again, I think it's PF which I've had before.
Highlights to share from last week For the first time in an embarrassingly long time, I got all my workouts in! I had 5:05 on the schedule plus one strength and I ended up with 5:08 and an hour long yoga class. It was a boost I needed.
I focused last week on getting enough sleep and recovery time in. I didn't so great at the end of the week but even two or three nights of about 7 hours of sleep made a big difference in how I felt all week.
