What are you training for? Date? Ultimately the Arizona 200M, June 10 -- but also Quad Rock 50M, May 9
Training plan for the week?
Monday: 11 miles Tuesday: 5 miles + strength Wednesday: 4 miles Thursday: stretch + strength / not a damn thing Friday: 4 miles + pole dancing [between upper body + laughter at an intro class this totally counts as strength!] Saturday: 14 miles Sunday: 8 miles
[extra miles this week because I had Monday off for MLK!]
Any issues or vents? Things are going really good -- my body is doing well with the extra miles, I just need to pay close attention to recovery time and being lazy some days so I don't run myself into injury.
Highlights from the past week? AW's? I'm coming off a 30 mile [3 day] weekend and my legs did not hate me on the run to work this morning! I actually kept a good pace with no leg hate! Granted, those 30 miles were not fast by any means, there were miles of hiking up mountains but it was still hours and hours on my feet this past weekend! I'm taking this as a HUGE win!

What are you training for? Date? Shamrock Marathon 3/22
Training plan for the week? M: 10 miles T: PT and 3 miles W: 3-4 miles (probably TM, because we're supposed to get some snow) TH: PT F: rest S: 20 miles S: rest
Any issues or vents? I'm such a one-trick pony these days...but the foot. I was in so much pain on Sunday that I couldn't wear shoes. I'm just so frustrated with this injury. I just keep asking myself if I should just give up on this marathon and rest it. But then, I'll have a good day and I forget how bad it is.
Highlights from the past week? AW's? I'm really liking PT. My therapist is great, and has not (yet, at least) suggested that I stop running. I feel like she really is working with my goals, and that makes me want to work hard and keep up with my exercises at home.

What are you training for? Date? Cellcom marathon 5/19 half 3/18
Training plan for the week? Mon - 3 miles Tues - swim Wed- 4 miles speed work Thurs - swim - run 3 miles Fri rest S 7 miles S 4 miles Any issues or vents? Just found out a mandatory work event is taking place on the Saturday that one of the 20 mile runs is planned for in my training schedule. The marathon I am running has great sponsored training runs and it's one of the reasons I felt I could do it. I'm bummed that I will have to do the longest run without the support.
Highlights from the past week? Feeling good about focusing on warm ups and stretching.

Training plan for the week? Lift today, Friday & Monday; play two field hockey matches on Saturday, go for a short run on Thursday.
Any issues or vents? Still have my annoying cough which makes lifting difficult (who wants to have a coughing fit as they are in the middle of a squat).
Highlights from the past week? AW's? my field hockey team won against a major rival this past Saturday - yay!
Training for the DC Rock and Roll Half in March, and the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler in April. And now the Virginia Wine Half that mrshandy mentioned caught my eye--I just need to find someone willing to get up ass early to drink wine...but only after running 13 miles. LOL.
M: Rest T: Easy 4 miles and 30 minutes of weight training W: Speedwork that will probably be about 6 miles total Th: 30 minutes of weight training F: 4 mile tempo Sa: Dunno. Maybe a bike ride if the weather is nice or I get the trainer set up, or just the elliptical Su: 12 mile long run.
Issues: Shins are bother me still, so just taking it easy. I also didn't stretch after my long run, and I'm only now feeling human again. Highlights: Didn't fall and break anything on my icy long run Sunday.
I have a team with my MRTT group. Right now we're still under the minimum of 6 needed for a team. You get a $10 discount if you're part of a team. Let me know if you're interested.
Hot Chocolate 15k (Sunday ), Albany Full (March 7)
M: 5 miles with 6x100's strides T: 8 miles with 5x600's at 5kp W: 12 miles, abs, burpees T: yoga F: 17 miles S: rest S: 15k race
Vent: fell on last week's 20 miler and got all tore up. PF is not gone but only bothers me sometimes.
Highlight: last week I rocked my 20 miler. 20 sec slower than gmp overall. Felt great (until I fell). Also, last week was my highest mileage week EVER - 55.68 miles.
