What are you training for? Date? Celebration Half, Jan 25 2015
Training schedule for the week? Sun 4, Mon 4, Tues 4, Wed Spin, Thurs rest, Fri ??, Sat 6, Sun Rest
Any issues or vents? My main issue is just finding time, and trying to balance work w/ fun time. I WFH, so I have a lot of freedom with my schedule, but I find it hard to do fun things w/o feeling guilty / feeling like I should be working. One of my goals for the next few weeks/months is to create some sort of schedule. for work/running/fun time.
Highlights from the past week? AW away! I've got nothing. I'm managing to run more than 1x/month, so, progress.
What are you training for? Date? Thunder Road half(Nov), Kiawah Marathon(Dec), Charleston Marathon(Jan)
Training schedule for the week?
M: easy 3 miler w/dogs + deck of cards workout (my buns are burning today!) T: 5 mi W: 8 mi Th: 5 mi F: shake-out easy jog with dogs S: step back week!!! 13 mi S: crosstrain
Any issues or vents? just the burning buns from last night's workout
Highlights from the past week? AW away! GREAT 18 miler on Saturday. Felt great the whole time (minus two huge hills - thank goodness kiawah is flat) - had myself drop my long run pace 15-25 seconds per mile and felt like a new person.
What are you training for? - Across the Bay 10k, Nov 9
Training schedule for the week? Uhhhhhhh...yeah, a plan would have been nice. But I don't have one. And even if I did I kinda screwed the pooch by skipping all my runs last week. I don't know what i'm doing at this point.
Any issues or vents? - I'm still struggling to adjust to it getting dark so early. I had been running after baby bedtime (7:00) but now that it's pitch black by then I can't quite convince my brain that it's not "late" - so my motivation is nill. I'm trying to switch over to early AM running on the weekdays instead of evening - so far it's not working terribly well. I lost tons of time on Monday trying to find all my stuff and ended up running for all of 10 minutes before heading back to shower. Today I had everything all set out so I got out bright and early - but got lightheaded after 2 miles - I'm assuming because I hadn't eaten anything.
I'll get there, but it's frustrating and two weeks before this race is not the ideal time to be tinkering.
Highlights from the past week? AW away! - Mmmm...nada. I had a lazy no good week.

What are you training for? Date? Thunder Road half 11/15, Kiawah half 12/13
Training schedule for the week?
M: rest T: 5 mi W: rest Th: 6 mi - 4 at GHMP F:rest S: 12 miles S: 2-3 mile recovery run
Any issues or vents? It's been a good week. I'm not thrilled with lows in the 30s this weekend, but it's better than lows in the 80s.
Highlights from the past week? AW away! I had a really good 11 miler last Sunday. The first 7 or so were at my goal half marathon pace. I kept trying to slow down, and it wasn't happening - until about mile 9. This morning, the last 4 miles ended up at GHMP. I wasn't trying to do that. I felt great and it was too dark to see my watch. I'm getting more and more comfortable running at that pace.
What are you training for? Date? The Parks 10K 11/2, Potomac River Run Marathon 11/16, Kiawah Marathon 12/13
Training schedule for the week?Mon - Rest, Tues - 5M, Wed - 8M w/ 5x600, Thur - 4M w/ 6x100, Fri - Rest, Sat - 16M, Sun - 10K
Any issues or vents? I'm a little sniffly this morning and my throat is sore. Hope I'm able to fight it off soon. Also, I can't decide whether I want to race my 10K this weekend or just use it as a marathon pace run.
Highlights from the past week? AW away! I finally hit my intervals! I ended up doing my 10-mile Wednesday run in the afternoon as opposed to the early morning. I headed on my usual route, then I realized, hey, why am I not going on the trail? It's light out. There are no hills. So I turned around and headed for the trail. I timed it perfectly and all my 1200 intervals were on the trail. I hit everyone except one under the pace I wanted. Interval runs have been bugging me all training cycle. I hate doing them in the early morning dark.

Highlights from the past week? AW away! - I can do bridges again with no back pain!

Wednesday is squats for high reps or good mornings. Saturday will be Romanian deadlifts.
Any issues or vents? If my uterus doesn't stop being an asshole, I'm going to remove it myself. Twice in the last week it has affected my lifts.

Any issues or vents? My groin/upper hamstring/adductor injury from April is feeling funny again. I'm beginning to think this is related to my desk chair at work. I'm hoping it doesn't get worse again and just taking my pace down to easy pace runs - zero speed work, and refocusing on hip and glute strengthening.
Highlights from the past week? AW away! Nothing really - just a recovery week for me. I'm happy to say that despite wanting to eat everything in sight, I stayed on track and didn't open the bags of halloween candy meant for trick or treaters.
