I really can only realistically handle 3 workouts a week right now, which makes me feel guilty, but it is what it is. My 7 miler Sunday was a struggle; I'm hoping it was just an off run and now the start of big pregnancy slowdown now that I'm 20+ weeks. I really want to complete the half I'm signed up for in March.

Winter training has been kicking my ass. I have a call into a massage therapist and have been anxiously awaiting her call back.


Any AW's or brags? Rocked my long pace run this past weekend.

[wawa]

All the biking of all the miles. (double century 6/8)
At this very moment - mostly trying to catch TriBestie on Rouvy levels....

M - strength (did this!)
T - skipped swim, trainer tonight
W - run AM, trainer PM
Th - short Trainer, quick strength
F - REST
Sa - swim. Trainer.
Su - Trainer. Maybe run for a minute, but probably not because precipitation is looming.

Issues: Please see plan above. I feel like the problem is self evident. why is it winter? why don't I have a live-in nanny? Could be worse...could be the treadmill. at least I like the trainer more than the treadmill.

AW's: uhhh...I rode my trainer for 4 freakin' hours.

That's what I said up to last weekend, but kids+winter+200 miles means I had to get over it. I did not particularly enjoy it, that's for sure.

What are you training for? Date?
Nothing! Just pregnancy and life in general

Training schedule for the week?
Plan for the week consists of:
Strength training for runners: T/Th
Yoga: everyday
Run: 3-5 miles, 2-3 times

Any issues/vents/complaints? Vent away!
Every time I run something else feels weird. Today the belly felt fine but my right leg was all out of sorts.

Any AW's or brags?
Not really.

Any issues/vents/complaints? Vent away! Only that I need to decide whether I am going to bail on PGH since we have a wedding that weekend. I am leaning towards Gettysburg as a backup. It's the closest to us and a week earlier so not a huge schedule adjustment. The only downfall is I've already BTDT.

Any AW's or brags? I killed my treadmill work out today. My mindset was to set the pace and do it, or fall off the fucking thing.

Federal Shutdown Day 25. My life is so weird right now. I'm in a status where I'm working part-time (without pay), but I don't have any kind of regular schedule. The flexibility has been helpful in some ways, like the past two days when I did my run at lunch time instead of at dark o'clock in the morning when everything was frozen and icy. But there are more negatives. My mood changes from day to day. 

Any AW's or brags?

I've been good about maintaining my usual workout schedule, even if it means getting up early in the morning when I don't have to go to work. Most people in my running groups are working, and they're still doing their workouts early in the morning, so I'm still getting up early and joining them. And I'm still going to my early morning spin classes. And I am working at least PT, so I do have some places to be some of the time.

Any AW's or brags?
So far I have crushed my swim and bike tests.  My swim improvement from my July test was just stupid good, and I'm completely blown away by my progress. 

[oswin]

What are you training for? Date?
Still TBD, either 25k or 13.1 trail race on Mother's Day weekend. Wondering if I can find someone to do it "with" me (even sign up for a shorter distance the same day).


Training schedule for the week?
Mon - 5.5 mile trail run
Tues - Crossfit
Wed - 3 mile run
Thurs - Crossfit
Fri - Crossfit
Sat - rest
Sun - probably a stroller run, maybe also a family hike

Any issues/vents/complaints? Vent away! Wish I was getting a bit more sleep.


Any AW's or brags? I was 12 minutes faster on my long trail run this week than last week. Still pretty slow (1:34:10 for 5.5ish), but getting better. Definitely building running fitness and also getting way more comfortable running on uncertain footing. The faster time may also be because I did the trail backwards from last time - down and then back up instead of up and then down. Really having fun with the trail running.

[vcubergirl]

What are you training for? Date?
Women's national half marathon 5/5


Training schedule for the week?
Sunday - snow shoveling, moving some furniture
Monday - snow day, pt and our exercise stuff is piled in the garage, so nothing else
Tuesday - yoga and swim
Wednesday - volunteer in DS's classroom, so maybe some kind of video later. Or maybe not
Thursday - pt and run
Friday - I have to accompany DH for a small medical procedure, so maybe nothing again
Saturday - maybe a short run?
Sunday - yoga

Can you tell I'm having trouble being motivated this week?

Any issues/vents/complaints? Vent away!
My hip is still messed up, my pelvis is still kind of facing towards the side, so unless we can get the muscles to learn to not do that, my long distance running days are numbered.

Any AW's or brags?
If we can't re-train my muscles to move the right way, at least I'll still be able to swim?

I also found out this week that my yoga teacher is going to do yoga teacher training in the fall, and she encouraged me to sign up. So that might be something awesome to do with my time if I can't run
