Any issues or vents? Just the weather. Running on the treadmill messes with my head. I want to run outside to see how I am doing since I took 6 months off from running.

Highlights or AW's from the past week? I am still getting my workouts in even when changing the days. When I trained for the half I was rigid. I am happy I am still getting the workouts in during the week despite the day.

Any issues or vents? I need to get some inserts for my new sneaks I think. And this weather needs to change so I can start running outside!

Highlights or AW's from the past week? despite my shoes causing me a bit of discomfort, I managed to run another comfortable 10 miler on Sunday. I have slowed down my pace for the long runs a bit (slower than normal) and it is making a HUGE difference. No need for walk breaks!

[Deleted]

There's a 5k I would like to do end of April.  If my health doesn't cooperate, then a Memorial Day 5k is my next goal.

More walking and add in some running laps
Yoga and any strength conditioning I feel okay doing
Lots of stretching!

[water*drop]

What are you training for? Date?
Half marathon on 4/27.

Training plan for the week?
Attempt to survive another week of treadmill running. In other words, I have no plan. I want two days with 3+ miles and one day with 6+ miles. I don't care which days. I just want to find the motivation to not skip runs this week.

Any issues or vents?
I cannot handle the weather anymore. I can handle the snow. I cannot handle subzero temperatures with wind and ice. I am out of motivation for the stupid treadmill and considered skipping spring half marathons entirely, but I know I would regret that decision as soon as it starts to get warm. It will start to get warm one day, right?

Highlights or AW's from the past week?
Nope.

Injury/Vents: nothing too bad! My long ride on Sunday was brutal, but as my H reminded me, I'd rather get the tough days in now rather than later.

Highlights: jumped right back in after being sick, and I'm feeling (relatively) good!

What are you training for? Date?  Boston, April 21st

Training plan for the week? I'm still sore from Sunday's run.  Probably some pilates and maybe some cross training with a lot of stretching.

Any issues or vents?  I ran my longest distance so far on Sunday-15miles.  It was not pretty.  I am really sore.  I worked all day and ran in the late afternoon/early evening.  Its been so freaking cold here.  WHEN is the weather going to get above the 20s?  I am so tired of training in extreme cold.  I am getting pretty discouraged as well.  My 2 babysitters have been unavailable during the times I am able to run.  My H is away a ton, is gone pretty much the next 2 weeks, and the gym's daycare is open only during the boys nap time.  My 22 month old twins are STILL not sleeping through the night.  My training have been AWFUL.  I've had 2 (!) long runs where I have felt decent.  The rest have not been good.  Between constant sleep deprivation, lacking childcare, and the crap weather, I am getting more and more nervous for this marathon.   Training for Chicago was much easier because I could get out and run at 5am.  I can't do that safely now.

Highlights or AW's from the past week?  I ran 15 miles without giving up!      My knees don't hurt anymore, but my IT band is starting to ask for attention.

[clseale]

What are you training for? Date?
Gate River Run 15k 3/15/14

Training plan for the week?
Making this up as I go! This week is tricky w/work and weather.
M: 7 miles + core, T: 6 miles of bridges, W: strength + core, Th: 5 miles if it isn't raining, F: Rest + core, S: 9 miles, S: work travel

Any issues or vents? Highlights or AW's from the past week?
My AWs and vents are all grouped together this week! AW w/vent: PR'd my half this weekend & placed 2nd in my AG. However, because the course was long, a 9 sec improvement per mile in pace, only got me a 36 sec PR, when it should have been close to a 2 min PR. The bright side is that my next half PR will be deceptively large! lol 

The next vent (but some might see it as an AW) is that it was gorgeous yesterday, but FL needs to slow it's warm weather roll a bit! Our days of mid day running are officially coming to an end. I went out for 7 miles on my lunch break yesterday (worked from home), and it was 83*. I have a sunburn. NOT READY YET!

I've never had a cavity in my life. Apparently my teeth went to crap this pregnancy because I found out I need to have a root canal now. I didn't have x-rays at my last cleaning in November, but can't believe this went undetected. I'm like, seriously distraught over this   


Highlights or AW's from training so far?

My achilles is feeling better and I've had a few good runs in the past few days. My speed is improving, just need to work on bumping up the mileage.

[runaways]

[Vally]

clseale - I totally agree with your vent/aw I'm already a morning person but the mid-day runs were spoiling me. This weekend I didn't get out on the trail until 11 and recently that wouldn't have been a problem but this weekend it was, and now I have a horrible case of raccoon eyes.

I'm really more of a morning person as well. (Well, on the weekends. I run after work during the week.) It probably would have been gorgeous in the morning, but I lazed around on the couch with my coffee for too long, and then I had to work. It was so nice and sunny out, and I'm never home in the middle of the day, so I was excited for a mid-day run. Nope. Not again until December. LOL

[skwcm80]

What are you training for? Date?

It was RnR Nashville, but now it's the Derby Festival half 4/19. I still plan to run RnR Nashville, but not race it.

Training plan for the week?

M: strength
T: 6 mile (3x1600)
W: strength
Th: rest
F: 5 miles
S: 3 miles
Su: 9 miles

Any issues or vents?
My left IT band has been a little sore during my long runs, so I've been focusing on stretching and hip strengthening exercises. I used an IT band compression strap during my run this morning and had zero pain. Fingers crossed that I've fixed the issue.

Highlights or AW's from the past week?

I ran 3 x 1600 this morning at @ 8:57 ! I'm so excited.

[sadlebred]

Any issues or vents? I have an aching tooth that needs to come out. The dentist says it's time to go. The 7 year old root canal has finally failed.

[emilyj]

What are you training for? Date?
Brand new plan: West Point (GA) Olympic Tri 4/27, Ft. Benning Reverse Sprint Tri 5/17, Calf Pasture 70.3 6/22

Training plan for the week?
I don't know - DH mapped out a new one for us, but I need to look it over and make some changes to fit my mess of a schedule.  Running and biking, no swimming thanks to work and travel.  That's ok, swimming is going well enough that I'm comfortable skipping it.

Any issues or vents?
My schedule sucks.  My achilles is still nagging me.  

Highlights or AW's from the past week?
My diet seems to be getting back under control and the numbers on the scale are finally going down.
