Myrtle Beach 1/2 (2/15), Boston (4/21...still feels so far away, but training starts next week!)
Training Plan: Ugh, nothing set in stone because the Cinco family has been horribly sick, and we are snowed in again today. M: 4 easy T: 4 on TM, strength DVD or class at the gym if they open tonight W: 7 on TM with intervals Th: strength class, spin class Fr: 12 miles Sa: 5 easy Su: rest
Issues: Snow, Ice, Stomach bug, Kitchen remodel (this has sabotaged any H&F eating, let me tell you!). Oh and somehow, I need to bring the Christmas joy I was going to wait to decorate until our house was not a disaster, but based on all the previous mentioned things it may be a while.
Highlights: I survived! Let's hope I can say the same next week!
Jacksonville Bank HM 12/29/13, Town of Celebration Marathon 1/26/14, Possibly Albany (Snickers?) Marathon to pace a friend 3/1/14, Gate River Run 15k 3/15/14
Training Plan: M- Upper body & core, T: 5-6 recovery + hip exercises, W: 10 miles w/5x1000s @5k + core, Th: 12 miles +upper body, F: Rest, S: 6 w/6x100s + core, S: 15 miles w/12@GMP
Issues: Not an issue exactly, just doubts. I was a bit disheartened last week by the effort it took to do the final 3 of my 18 miler at GMP. That's normal though, right? GMP miles during training feel more difficult than they do on race day, yes?
Part of the problem is that I'm still having a difficult time finding that pace, and I'm doing them a tad (like 5-10 sec) too fast. Also, the last half of last week I had 12 on Wed, 9 Friday evening, then the 18 miler Sat morning (about 12 hrs between the F & S run). I know I'm running on tired legs, so I should probably be impressed with the fact that my legs felt as good as they did, and didn't feel like lead. You'd think I'd never done this before. lol I just need a "there, there, this is normal" head pat, or a "pssshhh, you're crazy, the final 3 of your 18 shouldn't have felt that hard, you suck" advice.
I'm hoping my 15 w/12 a GMP this weekend boosts my confidence a bit. Sorry this was long.
Highlights: I solidly knocked out all of my runs, and as the miles are building, I'm feeling stronger and stronger.
