It's supposed to rain Friday-Sunday. The course will be a muddy mess this Sunday. I will either take the day off to cheer everyone on, take photos, etc. or break out the old, old bike and "race."

Any AW's or brags?

Bonus questions: Any black friday/cyber monday purchases you're excited about? H&F or non H&F?
Non H&F I got a "coffee cart" for the kitchen I'd had my eye on. I saved $30-60 over similarly priced ones. I also bought a 3rd Amazon Echo Dot for the other floor of the house.
H&F: Not really anything. I had planned to get a computer for my new mtb and happened to take it to the shop Friday for that and some "break in" maintainance. Garmin/GPS doesn't give really accurate distance and speed info. in the woods even with a sensor.

- Just still no answers for my knee. My ortho and PT seem to be at odds with each other, and my insurance denied a request for a lubricating injection, so my only option is cortisone again.

My bum leg has been tight after all that plane travel, just working on those kinks.


Any AW's or brags?
Carb loading works (second Thanksgiving)! Haha, did 15 miles on Sunday (planned on 10) because I felt good. Longest new distance by 2 m!

Also I've been feeling good and easy running longer runs 3-4 times a week. I'm happy. I think the change in my workout routine over vacation has bumped me over another plateau.


Bonus questions: Any black friday/cyber monday purchases you're excited about? H&F or non H&F?
Yep, got a bunch of sports bras, leggings, and a couple pairs of shorts that I've been waiting to get for a long time.

[jade]

Nothing! Thinking about a half in Jan, just for fun to keep motivated to run during 2nd tri

M - unplanned rest
T - 3 mile run + strength training for runners
W,T,F - H is gone so probably nothing
S or S - long run, maybe 10?

Any issues/vents/complaints? Vent away!
It's cold and all my long pants keep sliding off my butt. But I don't want to buy new ones because pregnancy and maybe they will start to fit again?

Any AW's or brags?
Not really. I am back in the running grove after about 4 weeks off

Bonus questions: Any black friday/cyber monday purchases you're excited about? H&F or non H&F?
Nah, I hate shopping and see above about new clothes

Any issues/vents/complaints? Vent away!

General complaint for the next 4 months: It’s cold and dark. I’m also sad that I won’t get to run as much with my friends for the next few months, because we have different winter training plans.

Any AW's or brags?

I ran a 10 mile race on Saturday and did pretty well, considering it was hilly AF and I didn’t train or taper for it at all.

Bonus questions: Any black friday/cyber monday purchases you're excited about? H&F or non H&F?

I ordered a new pair of trail running shoes and a jacket. I also got DH a pair of Bluetooth headphones for his birthday.

[G22]

What are you training for? Date?
Kiawah Half 12/8


Training schedule for the week?
One more long run and 2 medium/short ones.


Any issues/vents/complaints? Vent away!
I was trying to figure out why I feel so burnt out on running right now. Last night I realized that I've trained for 2 fulls and 3 halves over the course of 2018. I know thats not a big deal for some, but it's the most long distance training I've done in nearly 4 years since before I got pregnant. I'm definitely feeling it mentally.


Any AW's or brags?
No


Bonus questions: Any black friday/cyber monday purchases you're excited about? I didnt buy anything on cyber Monday. Abd nothing of importance on Friday. Low key this year.
