Training for: Austin 1020 10-miler this Sunday, and also doing a relay marathon May 17 (but not really training for that)

Training plan:
M - lifting, 6 mile run
T - yoga
W - yoga, 6 miles w/ speed work
Th - yoga, swim
F - 3 mile run
S - rest
S - race

Highlights: After a couple of months feeling like I was taking a slow decline, and a couple really crappy weeks, I finally feel like I'm "back." I guess adding a bunch of something other than running did the trick, and I'm still running about 30 miles a week (aside from my small taper this week). I'm also starting to lose the weight I've been bitching about for months, so thinks are looking good for me in H&F-land right now. I just hope I can pull out the race I want this weekend because my training runs have not been feeling great until yesterday.

Also massive thanks to clseale who mentioned earlier this week that the first thing she looks at when she's having issues is her sleeping. I hadn't even thought about it but I think that's been a big part of my problem.

I just had an event, so I'm taking it a bit easy this week.

Next event isn't until late July. Currently planning on doing the Sprint triathlon.

Training for the week:
T: 10-15 minute swim, hot tub soak
W: 20-30 minute bike
Th: rest
F: 30 minute run
S/Su: Chasing after children. ETA: Possibly gardening if the weather cooperates. We have 3/4 acre. that counts as a workout!

My lower left back is kinda achy from the tri. Hence the hot tub soak today.

They still haven't posted the official results!

Training plan for the week?
T-4 miles
W - 30 min tempo
Th - 3 miles
F, Sat - rest
Sun - kick ass

Any issues, problems, or vents? My right calf decided it was a good time to start throwing tantrums, so I'm foam rolling and stretching the crap out of it.  I know it's not time for new shoes yet, and it's not like I've been running sprints, so hopefully it goes away before Sunday!
 

Highlights or AW's to share? My run on Sunday felt awesome, and it was exactly the pace I want to be running for this half.  Now I just need to have the same experience this Sunday so I can regain the half marathon family title!

Training plan for the week?
I'm just gonna stick with CF and running 3-5 miles when I can until the 10K is over.  I really need to get back into running again. I've lost all my desire to do it.  I'm good for 3 miles but past that I just don't want to do it.   


Any issues, problems, or vents?
 Left knee pain that is related to IT band tightness and a knot in my upper calf.  I can't win.  


Highlights or AW's to share?
 Not a whole lot

I managed to get in all of my runs while visiting a friend this past weekend. I did that despite copious amounts of day drinking that would have put college me to shame. :?

Peachtree Road Race (10k), July 4

M - off
Tu - 4 mi
W - Core/strength
Th - 4 mi
F - off
Sa - "long" run 5 mi
Su - core/strength

No issues, other than I miss being able to just step out the door and run when I want to. Now it's an elaborate process with making sure boobs and bladder are empty, baby set up with dad, body glide everywhere because omg the chafing, hurry through run so I can get back and cook dinner, etc. I can't wait until A is big enough to run in the BOB and we can go at our leisure during the day. Although soon it will be too warm for that so I guess prly not until fall.

No specific AWs or highlights, just happy to back out there!

[gncorman]

My run Sunday was miserable! I am hoping I get that out of the way and the race is good. Let's just hope I can finish the race.
AWs: That I keep doing this despite feeling like a failure at running! The good weather expected for the weekend.

What are you training for? Date? There is a 5 mile run in May but I have been in a slump so I haven't *really* been training. I am about to sign up again for the Savannah marathon in November so I am hoping that will motivate me to get my booty in gear!

Training plan for the week? Monday: 3; Tues: Weight training/circuit workout; Wed (5-6), Friday (5-6) and Sat (8-9)

Any issues, problems, or vents? My quads are still really tight which doesn't help my piriformis syndrome. I am trying really hard to stretch and foam roll in the am and pm but it's been really hard finding the time.

Highlights or AW's to share? It's been really hot here (mid-80's) so I was proud that I went out yesterday during the hottest part of the day and knocked out 3 miles on my lunch break.
