I have an 8K this weekend and a 15K in 2 weeks.

I ran 7.5miles Sunday, M=crosstrain, Today=workout fail (thanks DST).
I'm going to do a couple of shorter runs later in the week and crosstrain another day.

My vent is that my work schedule this week is kicking my butt and messing with my workouts.
I also feel like I'm floundering around with "training"- I don't really have a plan since I'm trying to build a mileage base.

[gncorman]

Training plan for the week?

Any issues or vents? Weather. Yesterday and today are in the 50s and then snow and cold remaining week. Ugh!

Highlights or AW's from the last week? Weather and plans caused me to move long run to yesterday. So glad it did. I ran outside in 55 degree weather. I am much slower than a year ago but I still felt good.

B&A half 3/30
I've given up on a training plan. Just trying to get some quality miles in.
Vents? Oh yeah I've got them! Darker mornings, the dang stomach virus, and back pain to start. Really it's not THAT bad but I have just been a grump

Any issues or vents? No injuries but I am needing a break from long runs for a week. Running 11 on Saturday was BRUTAL. my mind was not in it.

Highlights or AW's from the last week? despite completely wanting to skip my last 11 miler on saturday, I stuck it out and finished, even after getting off the TM at 6 miles and throwing in the towel. I got back on 5 minutes later and finished it out.

RNR DC Half this weekend! CB 10 miler 4/6

Training plan for the week?
Mon - Rest, Tues - 4M, Wed- 2M, Thur - Rest, Fri - Rest, Sat - Race day!

Any issues or vents? DD has been sleeping like crap lately so we decided to sleep train. It's going well, but we're stil not sleeping too great. I hope she sleeps ok the night before my race

Also, I'm a little worried/sad that a PR may not be in the cards this weekend. We'll see. I can't tell if my pace is there since my long runs keep getting disrupted by getting lost or ice/snow or mud. I need a good place to run in Springfield! I PRed my first half 2 years ago and have yet to top that yet. I'm at the same weight I was then, maybe lower and running about the same amount. I'm not sure what's up.

Highlights or AWs from the last week?
Weight loss has been going well since coming back from vacation and eating better. I'm seeing numbers that I haven't seen since high school! It feels awesome!

[runblondie26]

New Bedford Half this Sunday!!

I'm resting this week, mostly. Doing a nice 5 mile tonight in the daylight (!!) after work, maybe another 3-4 mile once more later in the week.

I'm a little worried that my premature taper will hurt me, but I think I'll be ok. I didn't post about it here, but I had an incident while running a week ago that scared me out of running alone for the week. So it was a whole week of rest two weeks before the race.

W: 90 min Masters + hot yoga
R: 60 min ride + 30 min run brick + hot yoga
F: Masters + 90 min run

Vents: just being sick. I wonder when I actually am supposed to train for this race instead of just rest?

What are you training for? Date? Nike Womens Half DC. April 27. 

Training plan for the week?  Getting back into the swing of things, need to push out 8 this weekend. 

Any issues or vents? I got my IUD inserted last Wednesday and wasn't able to go to the gym until yesterday.  It sucked getting off of my schedule, but I felt really good yesterday.  I think I needed the rest. 

Highlights or AW's from the last week? No more hormones for me! 

[melodramatic26]

What are you training for? Date?
Christie Clinic- University of Illinois Half Marathon, April 26

Training plan for the week?
It's down week!
Today: 4 miles
Wednesday: 3 miles
Thursday: 5 miles
Saturday: 5 Mile St. Patty's Race
Sunday: 4-6 miles

Any issues or vents?
All but 2 runs have been on the treadmill and I've been getting so much faster. I was able to do a 4 mile run at an 10:30pace (compared to a 12:00 pace before starting training). But Sunday, I just couldn't find my groove on my long run. After 5.5 miles, I was done. I was sick and it was way earlier in the morning than I usually run, but totally discouraged that I won't be able to hit my PR in the half- when just a week ago, I did 8 miles at a 10:47pace and felt amazing. WTF??

Highlights or AW's from the last week?
Weightloss is going great and this week is down week so I"m hoping my body really does "re-energize" for the 2nd half of training.

[mrs.jacinthe]

What are you training for? Date?  Cascade Lakes Swim Series - August 1-3

Training plan for the week?  Masters Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.

Any issues or vents?  My new masters coach (they keep switching out the night practice coaches like we're some sort of unwanted hangers-on) gave us a 2400 yard workout last night.  1700 of that was IM.  DUDE.  I hate IM.  I'll do it because I *do* need to improve, but man did it ever suck.  It literally took me an hour an a half to do 2400 yards.  Sigh.

Highlights or AW's from the last week?  I got nothing.

T - rest
W - 8 mile tempo run
Th - lift
F - 5 mile recovery

Highlights/vents/whatevers: Had a great time at my first 10k this weekend. I'm also starting to get my long run paces consistently sub-9:00, which is nice to see. I'm upping my mileage for the next 4 weeks and then will do a light taper for this 10 mile race because I've had the best success getting faster when my training volume goes up.

Highlights or AW's from the last week?
I was really happy with last Sunday's 10 miler. It's the first time I've ever done such a long run at the end of a 5-run week. My legs felt a lot better than I thought they would, and I managed to make it 10 miles in our neighborhood (trails are still snow-covered) which I never thought would happen.

It's dark in the morning again   But it's light in the evening, so I suppose I could run on my trail, or on The Mall if I run after work   My LLL shorts/skirts no longer fit me   But I bought 2 blossom print skirts from Running Skirts and dug out 2 other skirts that were a little too big but fit me again 


Highlights or AW's from the last week?
Ran 8 miles on Saturday and felt pretty good!

[libbygrl109]

Training for the Run the Bluegrass Half on 3/29.
This week's plan - 3 miles + stretches and strength, 5 miles w/3@hmp, 2 miles, 4 mi race on Saturday. Not sure what my long run should be.

Vent - work is messing with my head and energy. I'm thinking I'll stick to shorter distances for the winter and spring.

Highlight - even though I goofed and ran too far, my 12 mile on Sunday felt good. Slow, but good.

[sadlebred]
