OK, I got lost on the way, but I made it here. All this white hurts. Anybody checkout kick runners? I'm a happy hour runner and we're thinking of moving over that thread over there.
Ran 8 yesterday. Real good week of running for me. Last night I got a migraine, thought I was going to die. Will probably get on the TM later tonight, just making sure the headache is good and gone. Been making my racing schedule. I'm so excited. January 12K&4m, Feb 4 mile & 5K, March 4 mile, April 20K, May HM & 10K, June 8K, 10K, July 10K. and Aug HM. Fall marathon if spring training goes good. My main priority is the HM in May, and think the schedule looks good,
Dgb, Thanks for getting the thread started. Boy was I glad to see people I knew.
ShanGen, If you saw my exercise room you'd faint knowing I pay for gym membership too. I do it mostly for the pool. Warning, you 'may' not want to be weight training when you start your marathon training plan, or at least stop when your mileage builds. There are mixed opinions out there about it. I know I regret doing the hip flexor weights this last summer, but I turned into an exercise addict and you will be smarter than me. Enjoy the membership.
P2R, The ice/cold does slow you down. Stinks. You know last winter I ran slower all winter, and when it got nice out, suddenly I could run faster, and so I did (oh those runs felt good after running slow for so long) and then I hurt my feet. Not sure if the change of seasons was a factor or not, but this winter I'm trying to run inside some and make sure I keep my conditioned for the faster running instead of just building miles.
My physical therapist, the elite runner, takes a cut back week after EVERY week where she adds miles. I've seen her run fast on the trail, she runs like a rocket. Guessing 7:00 min miles. I've seen her do easy runs and she goes so very slow. Guessing 9:30-10:00 min miles. She's a sub-3 marathon runner. Just thought you would find that interesting.
