Hello, everyone....How did the week go? I did better then last week, but not what I was planning on doing. The ice storm really got me. Spending two nights in a motel room and not being able to get outside really messed up my plans. Did anyone else get that ice storm. YUCK! I'm SO ready for Spring! Mon - 3 easy in light rain....beginning of ice storm Fri - ran stairs inside building....5 floors for 45 mins. (2.5 miles????) Sat - 4 Run/Walk - Run on dry pavement/Walk on wet or slushy Sun - 3.5 - Run/Walk - Run on dry pavement/Walk on wet or slushy Next week I hope to do better. I'm feeling a bit of pressure with that 10 mile coming up in April. Cherrie, hope you are doing? Wearing a heart monitor? Janell, Treadmill? Are you now a running fool indoors? How did the TDK go with no jumping? Vicki, you doing ok? Do you have a date yet? Slow Joe, Ginny, Jill, kilo.....how did your week go?

I got my treadmill. At 6 am Friday morning. *yawns* It took 2 hours to put together, but it's working great. Fool? Yep. Running fool? Not so sure. Been trying out the different programs on it, but I've not had time to do anything much. Maybe tomorrow. Or later... *yawns* I'm tired. I didn't get to tkd this week because I was having to work. I don't get to go to tkd next week because of work one day and being out of town the other. The teacher/students might think I've forgotten about them / blown them off! *sigh* I'll have to talk with them as soon as I can get there!!! Cutting a hole in the ball of my insole has helped tremendously. The problem's still there, but it's not crippling me with having to be on my feet all day. Next week? I don't even know. Haven't been able to think that far. ... It's time for bed!!!

I had a crappy week for various reasons and only eeked out about 12 in total and in two days over the weekend. This week is already shaping up to be better.

Hi everyone, well I had 3 days desgnated to run last week, but could use only 2 due to work. So I bagged 2*8 km only, which is way below my target. The last week marked the last days of my pre-season, as with Feb 1. I entered my Base 1 phase. That means I should do as much LSD as I can - ie long, slow distances, keeping intensity low but increase duration, all the time below aerobic threshold. That goes for 4 weeks, the last 2 weeks of Base 1 should include 15-30 min threshold intervals, only a wee bit higher than aerobic limit. Whooaaa I sound very scientific

I'm here - three miles last night on the torture machine . My dr has me on a new asthma med and wants me to try my workouts without using my albuteral first - I'm doing it but it is tough. Not sure if it is a true 'struggle' or a mind struggle but I'm getting there. Time ~~ Yep, did the heart holter thing and the next day was an echocardiogram - now I wait to see the Dr at the end of the month - oh the drama!! Sorry you weren't able to get in the miles you wanted. Winter so needs to be over already. It is snowing and windy as all get out here right now.

Been there, done that. It gets better, really.

I'm already seeing some improvement, I ran a 14mm today. I started out at 18:30 MM...............Still have a long ways to go ,but I am a very patient person. Vkay...wishing you a speedy recovery from your surgery.................. It's a shame that we have 63 members on this group and ony a handful even bother to post.
