it's tuesday already???

Training for Ragnar Trail end of april, and then rolling into Tri Season.

M - rest
T - stress the heck out over work? oh, that's not a workout? tell my jaw. (actually planning on a yoga video in a bit because I'm LOSING MY MIND)
w - run 5
Th - bike
F - Run 5
Sa/Su - visiting my mom for our very belated holiday fun. will hopefully get out for a run, will definitely do lots of walking, might get on a bike for a minute, but probably not.

High - got back to my usual Friday run date with my BRF's after a long covid and holiday induced break and it was such a great feeling.
Low - My forearms were sore for two days after moving a TV. My upper body strength is just nothing. I have noodles for arms. It was a damn heavy TV though - old school tube TV I'd had for a long long time. FINALLY OUT OF MY HOUSE.

bonus - I'd rather be crocheting right now. I'm hoping to take another bike trip this year, but we can't settle on a location. I have no idea how to say no to races when one of my training buddies suggests them. I have to use MH as the bad guy and take it to him so he can tell me when I'm being ridciulous because otherwise I'd schedule myself for a race every other week.

What are you training for? Still nothing. I'll be under heavy cardiac restrictions for the long haul.
What’s your training plan this week?
Sunday: Trainer (raining)
Monday: Trainer (35 degrees and wind gusts to 35 mph ugh)
Tuesday: Horseback riding lesson
Wed.: Trainer
Thursday: Off
Friday: Off
What has been a H&F high this week? I had a great horseback riding lesson tonight. You would be surprised at the muscles you use. We are changing my position a little bit, and it's really working my gluts. They aren't used to that type of leg movement.

What has been a H&F low? This weekend's weather: 1"+ rain, then sleet, then snow, then wind. In 48 hours. I want to ride outside!

BQ: My nickname comes from the American Saddlebred horse. I've been riding horses a lot longer than bikes and just got back into training a few months ago. I only wish I had $$ to show!

What are you training for? Late march 10k, late April half

Mon: crosstrain - 45 min on elliptical
Tues: 4.5 miles with intervals
We’d: rest or 5 miles
Thurs: rest or 5 miles
(Can’t decide which day to run, my work schedule is crazy both days)
Fri: rest
Sat: 6 mile run
Sun: 4 mile run

High: the weather is perfect and I’m hitting my interval paces consistently
Low: my regular runs are boring me. I need to find something different to listen to or somewhere new to run. This is usually not a problem, but for some reason these days it is.

BQ: i love running races, but training to get to the race feels like a slog most days. It is SO MUCH easier now that I wfh and can run mid-day. Even if it means I have to start work a little earlier to get my full 8 hours in, it’s been so good for me to be able to run mid-day instead of at 5am.

[Wines Not Whines]

What are you training for?

Half marathon in March, and a 10 miler and 10k in April

What’s your training plan this week?

M: Easy run with strides
Tu: Progression run finishing at goal half marathon pace, full body strength
W: Walk
Th: I’m supposed to run hills, but it’s TBD because it’s supposed to snow tomorrow morning. Hopefully I can find somewhere to run by mid-late morning.
F: Easy recovery run or peloton class
Saturday: 14 mile run
Sunday: Peloton and strength

What has been a H&F high this week?

It’s been cold and snowy here. I’m just happy I’ve been able to find places to get out and run (safely).

What has been a H&F low?

See above - it’s cold and snowy, and more cold and snow are coming. The last two winters were very mild, so this has been a shock to my system.

BQ: Tell us a little bit about yourself! Whatever you feel comfortable sharing.

I’m taking a beginning Spanish class, because I’ve always wanted to learn some Spanish. However, I’m terrible about studying for it. I’m so out of practice with studying and school.

What are you training for? half marathon in April

What’s your training plan this week?


M: off
T: 2 miles (sprint)
W: 3.5 miles (hill intervals)
T: 3 miles
F: off
S: 7-8 miles
S: skiing

What has been a H&F high this week? Definitely feeling stronger since I've started incorporating my new treadmills interval and speed workouts

What has been a H&F low? my Covid pounds aren't budging even with my ramped mileage and intensity. Maybe its less covid and more being 40? In any case, its a downer. 


BQ: Tell us a little bit about yourself! Whatever you feel comfortable sharing. I'm really surprised how much i'm enjoying my new treadmill and the iFit workouts. I normally hate the treadmill, but the app helps a lot. I'm so so sick of the 3-4 mile loops near home and its been a nice way to mix it up.

What are you training for? tentatively a half marathon in early April

What’s your training plan this week? eh...good question. I need to sort that out Planning on a longer run on Saturday (7ish miles) otherwise no clue.

What has been a H&F high this week? I've been better about making sure I drink plenty of water.

What has been a H&F low? I was home with the kids a lot so that meant a whole lot of sitting on my butt eating anything I wanted. Which was great at the time but I'm feeling all those air fryer cheese sticks now!
