It has been so cold for Atlanta! Monday's windchill was 15-20 degrees with a temp of 25. I opted to ride inside since I couldn't mountain bike later in the day as I had a previous obligation. I'm ready for some warm weather!

The weather. It sucks. I don't mind running in the cold so much, but there's been rain, snow, ice, or sometimes all 3 for the past few weekends, so I end up running inside. Which is fine, but I'd like to get outside. But I need it to be safe first.

It's so cold and swimming 3 days a week is making my skin really dry and my hair is wet.

I'm just trying to maintain general fitness right now. I'm planning to run the Cherry Blossom 10-miler and a local 10k in April. I don't want to embarrass myself at either of them. But I'm not doing any sort of specific/targeted training for them.

Mon: easy run
Tues: easy track and a short strength workout
Wed: spin class and body pump
Thurs: hill run
Fri: easy short run or easy spin
Sat: trail run if it's not rained out
Sun: tbd

I reaggravated my hamstring by tripping (but not falling!) on my weekend trail run, so now I have to baby it again. Ugh. Also, it's cold AF.


Any AW's or brags? We want to know!

Nope

Any issues/vents/complaints? Tell us!
- Nothing except it being cold and snowy the past couple of days. It won’t last, so that’s good at least.

Any AW's or brags? We want to know!
- Not really either, but I did a test run Saturday and my foot didn’t hurt. That’s a huge positive step forward. Maybe the week off was the step in the right direction.

Obviously I don’t have much of a plan at the moment. I just finished my half on Sunday and have been so focused on the move that I forgot about the 10-miler in March. Luckily I have time... 


Any issues/vents/complaints? Tell us!
Nope!

Any AW's or brags? We want to know!
I actually feel great after Sunday!  Usually my quads are sore, but I haven’t had a single sore muscle and OTF went well today.

I'm totally winging everything. Last year I went to fewer Crossfit classes/week in order to run more, and I ended up mostly losing fitness. I gained the ability to run for three hours, but lost a lot of ground on lifting weights and high intensity. So now I'm just trying to run before every Crossfit class, and just a mile because 10-20 minutes is all I have (and that depends on me being totally on the ball dropping the kids off at daycare). Plus a longer easy run 1-2x/week. I figure if I do this for a few weeks, then I can start adding more mileage to my longer runs. Ideally I'd like to get faster as well, but I'm not really sure how to do that. Right now I'm just getting used to running again, but I suppose I could some kind of speedwork before Crossfit. It's tough to find any kind of training plan that's designed for Crossfitter who wants to run, instead of a runner who lifts twice a week. Given that I did this same trail half last year, I know that I can do it, but I want to do it faster.


Any AW's or brags? We want to know!
Pull-ups are going well! I've been doing 3-5 sets of 5 strict pull-ups throughout the day every day. Hoping that as I keep doing this, I'll be able to do all 5 in a set without dropping from the bar - right now it's usually 2+1+1+1.

What are you training for and/or goal you're working towards? Date? Gearing up to start training for the Derby Festival Half 4/25/20.  I  DNS'd this race 4 years ago due to an injury. My BFF wanted to run a half before her milestone birthday this year, so we're running this one together. She was thinking about doing the Flying Pig, but I convinced her (with promises of a flatter course and a cuter matching tattoo lol) to do this one. 


What’s your schedule for the week? It's been a weird week and I haven't been sleeping well, so I am prioritizing sleep over working out.
M: power flow
T: 4 miles
W: power flow, 3 miles
Th: 3-4 miles
F: power flow, 3-4 miles
Sa: 6-8 miles, depending on how I feel. Or I might just go to yoga. Who knows!


Any issues/vents/complaints? Tell us! My neck is garbage. What else is new? Also, my running belt has lost its elasticity or something because it will not stay put. 


Any AW's or brags? We want to know! I got a massage for my garbage next on Monday and this is the first time in years my scapulae don't make noise when I raise my arms. That's good...I guess lol.
