What are you training for? Date? Half 9/15, Freedom's Run 10/12, MCM 10/27
Training plan for the week? M: REST! T: Chisel class, 6 miles with stroller W: 20 miles Th: spin class, strength Fr: 12 (tempo) Sa: 5 miles Su: 12 miles, strength
Any issues, problems, or vents? Nope
Highlights to share from last week? 2 speed work outs! Woo! Hopefully I can get them in more regularly and start speeding up.
What are you training for? Date? Chicago 10/13/13 and RnR Savannah 11/09/13
Training plan for the week? Not sure. I'm kind of all over the place now that I've gone rogue on my training plan. I'm just trying to salvage this training. If I were to guess... M: Rest T: 5 easy W: 8-10 w/a chunk at MP Th: 7 w/some sort of track work thrown in F: x-train S: some easy miles + yoga S: 20 miles
Any issues, problems, or vents? Not really. I'm just keeping a close eye on this calf, but it's doing OK so far.
Highlights to share from last week? My 18.5 miler on Sunday was awesome! Ran it at my previous MP from Feb.
What are you training for? Date? WODtoberfest, October 26th
Training plan for the week? Class TTFS, double under practice on W
Any issues, problems, or vents? My ongoing quest for consecutive pull-ups isn't going so well. Two is it. I think this is a technique/timing issue, not a strength one.
Highlights to share from last week? Did the Hotshots19 workout on Saturday. Didn't die. So that's good. I would say that workout is harder than Murph, which is definitely saying something.

I hope everyone had a nice holiday w/e!
What are you training for? Date? MCM, 10/27
Training plan for the week?
M - 8 mi with some intervals Tu - 8 mi + body pump W - Another 8 mi with some pick-ups at the end (why so many 8 milers this week?) Th - body pump F - 5 mi recovery Sat - Rest Sun - Half marathon
Any issues, problems, or vents? My biggest issue is I'm tired all the time. I also have some recurring tightness in my left calf; it goes away and then comes back. It seems manageable with stretching for now.
Highlights to share from last week? No real highlights. I had a horrible debacle of a long run on Saturday, but I feel better now. I hope my half goes well this weekend.
What are you training for? Date? chicago marathon 10.13.13
Training plan for the week? M: rest, T: 10-12, W: 6-8, R: 12+ weights, F: 4, S: 20, S: 6 + weights.
Any issues, problems, or vents? this is the first time I've trained using distance for each run rather than time and I can't say I care for it. also, I'm pissed that I have lost 0 pounds since I started training. weight loss isn't the goal right now but I was hoping 5ish pounds would just magically disappear. otherwise, feeling pretty good.
Highlights to share from last week? not really. nothing terrible happened but nothing really great either.
Plan this week is a little jacked, because we're leaving Friday night for vacation. I did my long run yesterday instead of Saturday. Plan called for 6, but it felt good and I want to get more long runs under my belt, so I did 10. Other runs this week are supposed to be 3-4-3; hoping to do them Wed-Fri.
AW is I had my best run ever on Saturday. Set new 5k and 10k records (but I'm still slow, lol). It felt like I was running maybe a little better than normal pace, but was about :45/mile better.
My challenge will be running on vacation. I'm not used to treadmill running, but don't feel comfortable running on the streets of these cities alone, so that's my option.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
What are you training for? Date? Allstate 13.1 Marathon in Atlanta, 10/6/13
Training plan for the week? M: 10k race, leg and chest strength training T: 6 hilly miles, abs W: rest Th: sprints, about 3 miles, tennis practice F: easy 10 miler, abs S: rest or yoga S: 4-6 easy miles
Any issues, problems, or vents? Not really, would like to lose 4 lbs that just won't come off no matter what I do
Highlights to share from last week? Not from last week but ran 10k yesterday in the rain and was only off my PR by 2 seconds. PR'ed the course.

What are you training for? Date? Slam the Dam 8k - Oct 5.
Training plan for the week? M-3000 yd, Tu-4000 yd, W-3000 yd, Th-4000 yd, F-3000 yd, Sa-4000 yd and volunteer for a local bike century race, Su-rest.
Any issues, problems, or vents? I'm starting to feel a little sore in my shoulders with the increased mileage and I can't figure out how to effectively foam roll the area of soreness, despite youtube. I look, find a video that looks promising, do it, and wonder why it doesn't hurt.
Highlights to share from last week? First 6000+ yard workout. I'm feeling ready for the race and it's still over a month away.
What are you training for? Date? Long Beach Half, 10/13
Training plan for the week? 3, 2, 6 tempo, 2, 13
Any issues, problems, or vents? It's hot. The hottest week all summer. School starts tomorrow which means that my runs will be pushed back an hour and it's going to be even hotter. I think that 6 mile tempo may become a 6 mile survival run
Highlights to share from last week? I reached all time weekly high mileage and I have no aches and pains. I also survived a hot, slow 12 miler on Sunday.

Training plan for the week? M: 3.5 mi
T: yoga W: 3 mi track R: weights/cross F: rest S: 11 mi Su: rest
Any issues, problems, or vents?
Babying my legs & backing off mileage a bit to recover from the shin splints quickly. A month out from my 10 miler and getting very nervous
Highlights to share from last week? Ran a 5K Saturday in hot & humid NOLA. Not only did I not have shin problems, I beat my A goal by almost a minute, got a new PR, and probably would've done even better if they had had more than one water station!
What are you training for? Date? Columbus Half Marathon (10/20), Philly Half Marathon (11/17)
Training plan for the week? Mon.- 4.5 mile recovery run Tues. - 25 mins. ellitptical, 30 mins strength training Weds - tempo run - 6 miles Thurs - 5/6 mile run - may try to get some more strength training in or move it to Friday, but I need a rest day so I'm not sure Fri - rest Sat. - 5/6 mile run Sun - 14 mile run w/ running group
Any issues, problems, or vents? I have a cold:( I also never lose weight when I'm training for a race - grrr:( I envy people that drop weight when running b/c I never do. I'm not eating a ton either - I track calories, my body just hates letting go of any fat when my mileage increases.
Highlights to share from last week? Running wise = no, the weather sucked and I even skipped a run because I felt like crap and the weather wasn't helping. DH and I did have an offer on a house accepted! Super stressful process but I'm excited!

What are you training for? Date? Mohawk-Hudson Half 10/13, Run for the Bluegrass 3/29/14, other shorter races in between
Training plan for the week? M: 3mi, T: rest, stretching, W: 5mi, TR: 3mi, F: rest (travelling), Sat: 5K mud run, Sun: maybe 9mi?
Any issues, problems, or vents? Turns out my pelvis came out of alignment. My PT realigned it, but it's still sore, and I have a couple trigger points in that leg. I feel good when I run, but have needed lots of stretching, ice, and heat when I'm not.
Highlights to share from last week? I was officially discharged from PT for my calf on Thursday! It's been feeling great, and hasn't been affected by the mess of the other leg.
What are you training for? Date? Niagara Falls Half 10/27
Training plan for the week? M: Rest T: 3 miles W: 3 miles walk R: 3 miles F: Rest Sat: 6 miles Su: Road ride
Any issues, problems, or vents? I need to get serious about this half. My SIL is training along with me but I have slacked off. Tonight's run felt good so I am hoping it motivates me to keep on the training plan.
What are you training for? Date? 2 5ks this month! That is so exciting!!
Training plan for the week? 3x-Run/walk intervals yoga, weights, ski machine, maybe cycling if it doesn't hurt my back PT and my Glides
Any issues, problems, or vents? My back went out a week ago and I had tingling all through my knee instead of just the side, plus my right leg started doing weird stuff so I'm back with my ART guy. Apparently it's my right side out of whack and my left leg is messed up because I was overcompensating for it. I'm just thankful after just 4 days of my back exercise my hips feel level again.
Highlights to share from last week? Absolutely none.

Any issues, problems, or vents? I cannot complain about my week...its been another good week!
Highlights to share from last week? I ran a freaking marathon on trails, by myself. Not because it was the plan, but because I got lost and couldn't stop at 25.1 miles...but still! And no, I'm not quite done being proud of this yet...
What are you training for? Date? Denver RnR Half (10/20), assorted other half marys, IMS Arizona Marathon (2/16)
Training plan for the week? M: 4m (5k instead), W: hill repeats - total of 5-6mi, Th: 5mi with some pickups, Sa: 10mi (first double digit run since...um...March? April?) Need to get some strength in there. Daily stretching/rolling.
Any issues, problems, or vents? Not right now...just the damn heat! Stop it, mid-90s in September in Colorado! This is STUPID.
Highlights to share from last week? A solid tempo (with a 7:30 mile) and a surprisingly good 23 minute 5k on Monday!
Highlights to share from last week? My 18.5 miler on Sunday was awesome! Ran it at my previous MP from Feb.
Ummm...you are going to CRUSH your marathons this fall.
Aww, thanks! My training has been all over the place & so unknown, I have no idea what MP will be. I'm hoping to get some good runs in these last few weeks to see what that is. I can't feel it right now. I think this will be the first time that I'll have zero game plan. Lol Just show up & run!
- What are you training for? Date? Primarily the Chicago marathon 10/13 and Houston marathon 1/19. Also a couple of halfs thrown in there.
- Training plan for the week? M - ran 13.5 mi, swam 1300 yd T - 5 mi run with some informal speed work thrown in W - 8 mi run Th - 5 mi run F - rest S - 20 mi run S - 5 mi run
- Any issues, problems, or vents? I'm getting a little frustrated not having a clue what my paces are. I think I may have to bring the garmin back out. Also life in general is INSANE for the next 2.5 weeks and I feel like all I do lately is complain, but it will be a minor miracle if I survive and manage to get everything taken care of properly. Once I start my taper things will calm down considerably and I cannot wait.
- Highlights to share from last week? Nothing particularly.
What are you training for? Date? Y Half Marathon 10/20/13 and womens half 11/3/13
Training plan for the week? No idea
Any issues, problems, or vents? See above, I started school last week. I am in school full time, work full time and my baby came down with strep. I am still trying to find time to run. Thankfully I have a pretty good base and my races are still far out.
