[runblondie26]

What are you training for? Date?
Boston 4/21

Schedule for the week?
At least an hour on the elliptical and/or spin x5. Weights x2

Any issues or vents?
One step forward, 2 steps back.

I had a great 13 miler at 8:05 pace last weekend. Then 2 days later I had severe cramping in my calfs during a simple 5 miler, and it keeps happening every time I run now. Similar to a problem I had a couple years ago, but no idea why it's back again. I have an appointment with the ortho tomorrow.

Highlights or AW's from last week?
N/A

[hannahb]

B&A half this Sunday! Eeekk!

Training: ugh. I ran 12 over the weekend (meant to do 10 but garmin died and overshot it) however this week is so far a bust. The little one came home from daycare sick again. Seriously, can this winter be over? I guess I'm tapering.

Vents: see above

My only goal for this weekend is to run faster than my half when I was 20 weeks pregnant. While this may seem easy, it may prove itself to be harder than expected

I think you're underestimating yourself based on the mileage and workouts you've been posting here. I bet you're going to do really well. 

I hope your LO gets over his cold quickly, and doesn't share it with his mama.

I decided to run a fast 5k training run last week to see what I could do. Finished in 24:45 and could probably go a little faster in a race setting. Also finished my long run at a good pace. Between these two runs, I think I should be able to PR my HM next month!

Both of you need to give yourselves a break.  You just had babies, for crying out loud.

[taratru]

Schedule for the week?
M- butts and guts class 
Tu - 5 mi
W - 4 mi
Th- rest
F- 5 mi
Sa- 9 mi/body pump

Any issues or vents?
Meh...I can't find a groove.  This whole no speedwork/hills/tempo is KILLING ME.  I don't know what I'm doing.  I'm currently in a "you'll never make it to Boston, nor will you ever achieve any shorter (read: faster) goals because you can't do the things you need to do to get faster." Wanting it in running isn't enough, and as a coach, I KNOW THAT. And it's frustrating.

Also, why am I still chubby?  Good GOD.  My pants are so tight.  I hate it. 
 
Highlights or AW's from last week?
Um...nope.

True. I need to hear that from time to time and do need to learn to cut myself some slack. My type A personality gets the best of me sometimes

[water*drop]

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

Schedule for the week? 5 miles, 5 miles, 9 miles; I don't care which days.

Any issues or vents? Stupid norovirus made me miss the last half of last week's runs, including my long run. I feel like I can't catch a break this winter, and I'm having to work really hard at not beating myself up over missing so many training runs.

Highlights or AW's from last week? The one run that I actually managed to do last week felt really good.
