Congrats on making it to the taper chw57 and kams. I have been in awe over your training the last few months. I am so excited for IMTX

Thanks cinco, runaways, and runblondie26

I looked back at my training peaks for the last few months and, while it looks crazy, I just have a lot of trouble believing that it happened and that it's enough. I think that is normal for the first time. I am sufficiently freaking out, though. My goal for the next few weeks is to stay in a really healthy headspace.

@kirkette Two beautiful ladies! Awesome job...You wasted no time getting back out there!

Friday: I turned my neck from left to right 20 times. Holding 5 sec. On each side. I pushed my chin out and back 20 times.

Saturday: same thing

Sunday: same thing

I'm beat!

I did order a water jogging belt though!

[enfuego23]

Friday: 4 mile run, 2 hours of house cleaning, and I pulled a rib muscle stretching too much - ugh:( 
Sat: 12 mile bike ride - the wind was awful:(
Sun: 6 mile run - longest run since my stress fracture!

[sadlebred]

Friday: Rest
Sat.: 60 minute easy ride
Sunday: 20 mile mountain bike race

[carilyn]

Friday: 4 brisk miles
Saturday: Rest/stretch/roll
Sunday: 16miles

Brag: I just finished my 16miler a couple hours ago and I am on cloud nine! My longest run to date. I met a friend/co-worker (I have amazing coworkers and there are four of us training for May/June marathons and a few training for halfs). We ran along a paved trail along the river and it was beautiful and amazing. We got sun, rain, hail, and even saw some lightening in the distance and a nice tailwind on the way back. I felt great. We averaged 10:10 and chatted the whole time, well till the last 0.4miles when we sprinted to the finish . Like I said, I'm totally on cloud nine and starting to feel like I might actually be able to run 26.2 in a little under two months!

[Brit]

F: 5 miles, SUPing
S: 5 miles
S: 6.2 miles

Brag: I ran a lot faster yesterday than I thought I was capable of. (Indoor on the treadmill.)

Complaint: It is freaking hot and humid here. Overnight low the past week or so: 80* 88% humidity. It hurts to run outside already.

[G22]

Friday: 10mile run - managed to finish in 1:30 which is a huge improvement!
Sat: Rest day
Sun: 5mile race - PR'd by 10 minutes!

[emilyj]

Fri - Masters
Sat - Rest
Sun - Race! Olympic Aquabike. Somehow pulled out 2nd overall despite being seriously undertrained and having a shameful bike. That's my first Olympic, so automatic PR!

[CallingAllAngels]

S: 5k

That's it. My running sucks right now. I'm running later in the day bc it's staying light later, but I think the higher temps are slowing me down. I went straight from 30-40 degree runs to 70-80.

[mrshandy]

Friday- Planned rest day that happened to coincide with a sick day

Saturday - 40 min fartlek

Sunday - 11mi run

Proud that I got both my runs in despite having a lot of stuff going on. I was pretty hungover on Sunday, but I powered through!

[cole]

Fri: 4 mile bike ride
Sat: soccer game, 13 mile bike ride
Sun: soccer game

[bugmeetsworld]

F: 5 mile run
S: 3 mile run
S: 11 mile run

[shelbyann]

F: 3.5 mile run
Sa: 5 mile run
Su: off

Brag: My new easy/base running pace is now only about a minute per mile slower than it used to be before baby! I still feel slow but I don't feel soooooo slow any more.

[greysgirl]

Friday-planned rest
Saturday-3.5 mile run were I focused on speed, upper body and core weights
Sunday-My first 10K race! It was awesome and I felt really good the whole time!!

[no0b]

There was a whole lot of nothing going on this weekend in regards to exercise which was frustrating to me. We were traveling and I decided it would be best to give my shins a good rest. They better be all rested because it's time to get back into the swing of things!

[Deleted]

I PR'd my half on Sunday by 2 minutes. After snow all day Saturday, I was glad the sun came out for the race.

As a collective group, seems we had some good races this weekend.

[katyintx]

I'm slightly jealous of everyone who had such good workouts this weekend. We went to TX wine country to celebrate my bday, so my workouts consisted of a lot of walking around and the whole glass to mouth thing too... I officially feel like a pile.

I do have to agree w/Brit though. It's pretty gross running right now already. It wasn't incredibly hot this morning, but I almost felt like I was running through a swamp. And of course it was harder, but I'm not sure if that was due to the copious amounts of wine and food still in my systems, or the weather...

Love-love-love this feeling!  Congrats!

Enjoy your taper chw57 and kams! I can't believe your workouts!!! Go get 'em!

[emuni04]

Saturday: local 5K. I finished in 28:35, which is 3 MINUTES slower than my average time, but it was mid 80's and humid, so I'm okay with it. Less OK with the fact that I was passed by two runners with double jogging strollers. My pride!

Sunday: no cardio, but I did a 100 rep challenge (push ups and sit ups). Needless to say, my arms and stomach are sore today!

You guys have posted some amazing workouts!
