Hershey 10K April 13
M: rest
T: 3 mile run
W: cycle
T: 2.5 mile run
F: weights
S: 4.5 mile run

I am getting in my "long" runs but struggling to get in my short runs. I need to find the time and motivation to get them in this week.

I am testing out a new gym this week. I went there before but only for a boot camp class, not equipment.

[libbygrl109]

What are you training for? Date? Run the Bluegrass 3/29 (next Saturday!!!)

Training plan for the week? Not sure. Resting my hammy, then going to try to bike and run a little by the end of the week

Any issues or vents? My hamstring was bothering me a little bit, but nothing some stretching and icing couldn't cure. Since my race on Saturday, it's gotten a bit more angry with me

Highlights or AW's from last week? I had an amazing (for me) 4 mile race on Saturday. I had A and B goals going in - beat my B goal by 6 minutes, and my A goal by almost 2. Makes me think I'm not sucking as much as I thought this winter.

[bluedaisyus]

What are you training for? Date? I have a 5k this coming Saturday, a 10k on April 6, and a quarter marathon on May 3.

Training plan for the week? I don't know, I'm supposed to run tonight but I don't know if that'll happen. Running with my group on Thursday.

Any issues or vents? Yes: I'm sick. I was super sick right before my last 5k on January 1, and now I'm sick again. My nose is running like crazy, I can't get a good breath and my chest and ribs hurt from coughing.

Highlights or AW's from last week? No, not really.

[thom]

What are you training for? Date?
Half marathon 4.19 and Marathon 5.10

Training plan for the week?

Get healthy & survive the snow??

I ran Sunday night so took Monday off. This morning I slept in. I've re calibrated my thoughts to this...

Tues night - 3-4 miles easy
Wednesday - 5-6 miles with some strides or something.
Thursday - probably off... Extra Stretch/core
Friday - easy run, distance debatable
Saturday -- if I'm feeling ok, go for 20 miles. Otherwise just aim to run for a few hours
Sunday - off or recovery run / extra stretch & core

Any issues or vents?

Yes...

I'm allergic to the outdoors, even though it's still mostly winter here. My ribs are sore and tender. We're getting a blizzard today.

Highlights or AW's from last week?

I ran 11 miles on the treadmill Sunday night. I'm half through marathon training, and in spite of my setbacks & whines, I know I CAN do this!

P.S. Sorry I spaced on MMM yesterday. I guess we can all just post here.

Any issues or vents?

-apparently more snow tonight and tomorrow
-and the never ending head cold that I feel like I've had for 4 weeks
-and Saturday my only day for a long run looks to be the coldest day of the week. I wonder if anyone would notice if I took a 2 hour lunch?? (I am actually seriously debating this option)


Highlights or AW's from last week?

pretty pleased with my race on Saturday. as usual, I am playing the what if game...and this time it's what if it would have been less crowded and I could have gotten a PR?

[taratru]

This week is so jacked.  Spring break has thrown me off...it's too chilly in the morning for me to get up and run, but all I want to do all day is lay around in my jammies drinking coffee.  Hard knock life, yo. 

What are you training for? Date?

I wouldn't call it training, but I have a half on 4/6 and something on 5/4 (not sure if I'll do half or 10k)

Tu: 4 mi
W: 5 mi
Th: body pump
F: 4 mi
Sa: 9 mi

Any issues or vents?


not really.  I'm trying to be very conservative in my running right now.  No speedwork and not too many consecutive days, which is hard when I have a good run.

Highlights or AW's from last week?


My run on Sunday was awesome, which was nice, since I almost bailed on it.

:Y: I think it is more impressive it is on the treadmill! It is way too easy to put that speed down. I know from experience.

What are you training for? Date?  Long term goal: Cascade Lakes OWS Series - August 1-3

Training plan for the week?  Swim Monday-Wednesday-Saturday

Any issues or vents?  Nope!

Highlights or AW's from last week?  Hmmm, I got a key to the pool at the gym (since I'm the aquatics director now) and that was pretty cool.  Unfortunately, now I have to hire people.  People who apparently don't understand that in order to work as a lifeguard, you have to have lifeguard certifications.
