1. Mostly cut out sugar (save cheat days on the Super Bowl and Valentines day) 2. Strength training class 1x per week 3. Finish my half next weekend injury free!!
PR my 1/2, or at least beat my time from September cut back on sweets and booze (what a depressing goal, lol) at least one spin class/week and 2x strength/week
Complete 90% of scheduled workouts (I won't beat myself up if my body begs for an extra rest day) Eat 80% clean (I'm trying to be realistic here!) 2x hot yoga/week Be more patient with DD. 3 has hit us hard and I need to be less reactive.

1. One month of no desserts. It's already hard! 2. Start back at tae kwon do, begin strength training AND training for RAG in May..phew! 3. I think that's good lol.
Eat better Drop a few pounds before I increase my mileage, cause I have trouble losing once I get into the higher mileage. Help my neighbor get a 5K PR.

i will be 6 weeks PP on Thursday and I'm looking forward to working out again! My goal for this month is to just start walking regularly and maybe some jogging.
- I'd like to keep my mileage up, both for weekly & long run. It usually takes a hit after a marathon, but I'm fighting that this time. Work was nuts this week, so I just now finally got out for a run, but I had a great 5 miler. Legs are recovered!
- I also want to tighten up my diet & get some strength work in.
-While keeping miles up, I also want to make sure that I'm running for the love of it. Maybe find some new routes & schedule fun runs with DH & friends. I need a recharge.
1. Start to figure out the balance that's going to work for me for longer distances. *sigh* 2. Keep going to spin at least once a week. 3. Lifting class once a week. 4. God, STOP with the extra sweets. 5. Stretch every. day. oops! forgot one: 6. Have a kick ass time in Florida for Princess!

What makes it angry? Is it pace, or frequent runs/high mileage? If it's the latter, have you thought about FIRST? I know you like higher mileage, but could be worth looking at.
I'd love to PR at my half on the 24th, even if by seconds! It's 3 weeks from tomorrow, and my long training runs are averaging 9 minutes per mile. Last week my 9 mile was an average 8:55 pace! I'm happy to be injury free, and strong during my runs. I never made it past 10 in my training last year due to pain, do tomorrow's 10 miler is a big deal for me. Best of luck on your goals!

Don't know yet. I'm starting with low mileage 4x/week to see how that goes. I'll increase mileage super slowly and see. If increased numbers cause it to flare, I'll decrease to 3x/week and see how that goes.
What I'm worried about is that it's intensity that works it...which means verrrry limited speedwork/tempo running. Which means dropping 5 minutes from a full is going to be tough, because the only reason I got faster on #2 was the addition of speed/tempo/pace runs. :/

1) Run 3x a week 2) Increase my mileage and pace a bit 3) Run the entire 5k tomorrow 4) Do a 6.2 mile run/walk in a week to prep for 4 and 5 mile races in March 5) Don't have a nervous breakdown while DH is traveling for work for 9 days during tax season
- PR my half next weekend - get back in the gym twice a week - get control of my diet and maybe drop a few pounds (I'm having a hard time re-equilibrating now that I'm not running 50 mile weeks anymore...) - hold on to my running fitness as much as possible - I'm wanting to stick to at least 30 mile weeks with 12-15 mile long runs on the regular
-allow myself to rest and heal post-op and not try to push -avoid infection (I'm somewhat prone to infection with wounds even though I clean them well) -portion control while I'm sitting on my ass this month

But you got A LOT faster with #2, now you only need 5 min! Trying to find that silver lining for you. I'm so sorry. Lots of fingers crossed as you figure it out. Vent anytime you need. Are you still doing any PT for it?
clseale still doing my exercises. I can go in any time for treatment so I will if it flares up. It's gonna be okay, it's just going to take patience. Which is going to be the biggest challenge for me, let's be honest.

1) Start New Rules of Lifting for Women & be consistent with it 2) Stop making excuses about the shitty weather and just do my damn half training! 3) Stick with clean eating/paleo-ish 90% of the time
My goal is to finish my PT so I can get back to exercise that uses my upper body (because boy am I bored with lower body only stuff!) and start working again!
