Going to go easy on my run this afternoon to test them out. Highlights from last week or AWing: 10 miles felt so good! I was worrying about it all week, but once I got started, I just zoned out and went with how I was feeling. I finished about 10 minutes sooner than expected, and felt like I could keep going! I'm starting to get anxious about race day now. 2 1/2 weeks away!

Vents/Problems/Injuries: I'm so busy with selling our condo and moving in a couple of weeks that training is in the back seat:( I'm so busy with work, taking classes, and moving that I feel burned out. I will be so happy when October is over with.
Terrible heartburn on 2 of my runs last week - need to lay off the spicy food. Eating out a lot more because we are so busy. WIsh I had more time to devote toward training right now:(
Highlights from last week or AWing: We sold our condo, got our top asking price, and got a new kitten:) I feel really grateful that everything is working out and moving forward:)

Highlights from last week or AWing: I am done with double digit post work runs! that is tapery enough for me.
Not completely sure but probably something like... M - rest T - 5 miles w 3 at tempo pace W - 8 miles, 4-6 at GMP Th - 5 miles recovery-ish F - probably rest or swim, maybe run if I'm feeling amazing S - 5 mile pace run S - 20-22 miles
Vents/Problems/Injuries:
I was meant to be tapering this week but did not get my last long run done for various reasons, some of my own making. Regardless, one more week to push through and I'm kind of winging it on the training plan.
Highlights from last week or AWing:
I've already AWed the shit out of my long run last week. I'm actually not totally sorry this is all falling out the way it is because that was a nice confidence booster and helped me see once again what a difference cooler weather makes.
First up is Chicago 10/13, then RnR Savannah 11/9/13
Training plan for the week?
No clue. This is was supposed to be taper, not peak week, so I agreed to a work conference in Kansas City. I brought running clothes, but our schedule is packed. Running volume will likely be low. The only definites are a 5K on Saturday, and 22 on Sunday.
Vents/Problems/Injuries: Some left hip/hamstring tightness. Nothing too bad.
Highlights from last week or AWing: I had a 10 miler at 8:04 that felt pretty good.

I am a little annoyed with Hal H plan i picked and with myself. I am adding a little more mileage to help build my endurance.

I need to focus on eating better too.

I ran twice during a quick vacation, which is a milestone bc i would have normally skipped it.

Training plan for the week? Swim 3k Tu, We, Th, Fr - I'm on a taper now and it's so strange to not be spending all my time at the pool.
Vents/Problems/Injuries: I was sick ALL last week - headache, nausea, etc and I biffed my training schedule pretty bad, but I'm just going to consider it a longer taper, because there's nothing I could have done.

Training plan for the week? M-6mi (tm run...but I started watching Doctor Who, so that worked out) Tu-3x1 mile repeats, with w/u & c/d (~5mi total) W-"lifting" class - it's called Power Toning, ugh. all that fits my schedule, though Th-4mi Sa-12 mi (I hope! Might do Sunday or Friday), body pump

Highlights from last week or AWing: Running 11 mi with no lingering pain/next day pain, last Monday's run was just awesome from start to finish...getting up to 28 miles last week was great.

What are you training for? Date? The second race in a series, on 10/6.
Training plan for the week? Just 1 mi solo tonight, then .5 Thursday and 1.5 Saturday with my group.
Vents/Problems/Injuries: not really, just a bragplaint that I'm still kind of sore from spending all of last week walking around at Disney World.
Highlights from last week or AWing: oh, I have one this week! I had the first race of the series last Sunday and I have a new PR. A super slow one, but still! It's a PR!
What are you training for? Nike half in SF Date? In 26 days, ugh.
Training plan for the week? Hoping to get out for at least two runs this week.
Vents/Problems/Injuries: haven't been able to do anything for three weeks due to bronchitis. Sucks.
Highlights from last week or AWing: finally got out for a 5K on Sunday. Didn't die. Also got to return to barre class today. Had to go slowly, but again, didn't die. Yay.
taratru, are you loving Doctor Who? I started it back in like June and watched the whole new series in about 3 weeks.
I do like it! I heard the first couple seasons were sort of cheesy but to stick with it. It's fun, though. I'm glad to find a new series before winter kicks in and I'm on the tm more than I like.

Training plan for the week? M: unplanned rest T: yoga W: 3.5 easy R: XT F: 3 mi S: rest Su: XT
Vents/Problems/Injuries: Um, my race is just over a week away and I'm starting to freak the f out. None of my long runs have gone particularly well, and I'm really really worried about being swept, although Mr. McMillian says I should be able to keep under the minimum pace. I really want to just go out and have fun, but I'm really just a nervous wreck.
Highlights from last week or AWing: Made it through a 10 mi long run Sunday despite a couple of false starts, rain, and feeling bad all last week. And we're finally having a taste of fall, so highs only in the mid 80's and 70% humidity!
