I've been struggling with training and staying positive. Not sure the exact reason I'm pretty sure the one rest day a week is playing a huge part along with training during winter. So I decided to switch over to my friend Pfitz's 12/55 plan and see how things go on that front. I'm not used to missing runs/workouts and it's been a crap shoot the last few weeks. In addition with the crazy negative windchills this week my next few runs will be inside for sure.

Any AW's or brags?
Nope

[lilypad1126]

Local 10k 4/28 (maybe)
Pittsburgh Half 5/5

Thur: crosstrain
Fri: 4 mile run?
Saturday: Work event, so just lots and lots of walking
Sun: 7 mile run

Issues/vents/complaints: After my runs this weekend, my right knee has been twinge-y. It feels like IT band issues, which i usually only get in my left knee. So instead of running today I cross trained. Which seems to have helped, but now I’m nervous. I shouldn’t be having IT band issues at this point in training. Hopefully it’s just a fluke and the frigid weather played a part.

AW’s or Brags? I’m going to hit 100 miles running this month. I know that’s a lot compared to what most of you awesome ladies run every month, but it’s the highest running month I’ve had since 2016. I’m super excited!

What are you training for? Date?

Cap 10k on April 7th (with stroller!), 25k trail race May 11th



Training schedule for the week?
Um...not happening as planned. I have a sick kid. Hopefully I will run with said sick kid (in the stroller) tomorrow. Probably 3 miles. Maybe I will make it to the gym later in the week if sick kid is better.



Any issues/vents/complaints? Vent away!
We were doing really well with not getting sick too much, but this is the second week in a row that I'm having to rearrange my life because of a sick kid. Last week was DS1, this week it's DS2. DS2 probably has the same fever-inducing virus that DS1 had last week, or at least that's what I hope because it only lasted a few days. Neither kid had the flu, so that's something. But when kids are sick, I generally sleep poorly, and I may be fighting it off myself. And when my sleep goes badly, I start eating really poorly, which just makes me feel even crappier. All of this does not make me feel like training hard. Sigh.


Any AW's or brags? Despite the above complaints, I feel confident that by April 7th I'll be able to not only complete 6.2 miles with a jogging stroller but possibly even feel strong/fast doing it. I'm tentatively going to try to break an hour, which means I need to get faster with a stroller. And I'm cautiously optimistic about the 25k, assuming I can manage to build up my long runs the way I hope to.

What are you training for? Date?
DC RNR Half Marathon 3/9, Boston Marathon 4/15



Training schedule for the week?
Mon - unplanned rest, Tues - unplanned rest, Wed - 6 mi?, Thur - 7 mi tempo + 1 mi warm up/cool down, Fri - 10 mi, Sat - 10 mi, Sun - Rest



Any issues/vents/complaints? Vent away!
I've been sick the last three days and I finally feel well enough to do an easy run today. But fucking school is cancelled and I'm pissed. H is out of town, I'm working from home while I let the kids have as much screen time as their hearts desire. The weather is going to be pretty awful over the next day and I may do my tempo run on the treadmill tomorrow. It's going to be so cold that I don't want to leave my house, but I have a serious case of cabin fever. I'm going to attempt a run midday by circling back to my house every 1.5 miles to check on the kids.

Any AW's or brags? I ran 15 miles on Saturday which is my longest run I think since my marathon in fall 2017. 

[scm1011]

Any issues/vents/complaints? Vent away!
nope, except I continue to max out at 3 workouts a week due to time/motivation/energy. I've come to terms with it though; it is what it is right now.

Any AW's or brags? I ran a hilly 15k on Sunday, my longest run so far this pregnancy. And I got to catch up with bostonmichelle the whole time

[ditzydi]

I was supposed to do a 3 mile run on Tuesday but between volunteering, watching our neighbor's kid after mathpentathalon and then Bible study Tuesday nights, I didn't get to run. I think I"m going to have to do my Tuesday runs on Monday. Tried running at 4:30 one time and I was a hot, cranky mess by the end of the day. And I hate running solo in the dark because of zombies. Ran my 3 yesterday and 4 today. Debating if I should run my 3 tomorrow to make up for Tuesday but I have 9 miles scheduled for Saturday. Thoughts?

ETA: I'm doing the HH marathon training schedule without a marathon in mind.  My neighbor who is also a runner thinks I'm crazy.  I just want to try and finish the training schedule.
