Be cautious with kind of distance on an indoor track - I think it was my 8 miles at MP (320 turns) that tweaked my ankle Thursday. Good luck finding a way to get the miles.
Oh, believe me I will be cautious. I actually just ran 11 yesterday all on the track and that went great...no problems at all. There are actually 4 treadmills there as well and if I have to do the full 17 inside, I'll probably cycle between the track and treadmill.
2013 Goals: Train smart ... race smarter. FM 3:30 then knock off 5 more minutes 90 seconds for the BQ.

...I ran more slowly to run with one the girls I kinda like, ha.
Heh...good man.
Three PT sessions today. The first one was awful. So terribly painful. Much better though by the time I finished the third one. I've got to take my little victories and I'm happy that I get full extension pretty comfortably and about a 100 degree bend. Going from bend right to full extension hurts something awful.

Home workout was fun. Did an hour and 20 minute Wii Zumba "class", ITB rehab stuff (foam rolling, stretching, a mix of myrtl exercises and strength running exercises) core exercises on the stability ball, and arm exercises with 5lb weights.

Evening, Dailies! Happy Saturday...
First, congrats Shari, and Freesoul - good racing out there today!
I know I'm not doing much in the way of shout-outs but I'm on 12 hour shifts this weekend. Barely enough time to get enough sleep, it seems. Oh well, one more day tomorrow then I'm off for a few.
5 miles in the Riverwalk park after work today. It was 55 out, but I dressed for 45. And I'm glad I did - there was a stiff NE wind that kept me cool.
Hoping for maybe a couple tomorrow, or maybe not. I'm going long on Monday, weather permitting, so I might take a rest day tomorrow.

Tom, sweet five-miler.
Today was a complete SRD. Lots of snow here. No public transportation. I don't own a car. A friend' cousin, who' heading in the direction I'd planned to head tonight, is kind enough to give me a lift.
Tomorrow will have a ten-mile LR, push-ups, ab work, and weights. I'll have to purchase a day pass to the local Y, which is in walking distance, to do my weight training.

Good afternoon everyone. As for me I'm slowly recovering from an Achilles Tendonitis, so I a walk/run work out today. It looks like I will be doing the walk/run then run/walk for a few weeks. It is very hard for me to build back up so slowly, but I know I will have to go slow so I don't aggravate my injury. I hope every one is doing well.
I'm glad you checked in! I hope you are back to 100% sooner rather than later.
8.25 MLR done! 9:35 overall pace, nice and steady, picked it up for the last mile. Everything just felt great! Then I got home and DH had chocolate & peanut butter cookies coming out of the oven!

I've done that before, too, though last week I did my full 17 on the TM, with a break every hour to hop off and refill my water bottle. It can feel a bit like getting off a boat and needing to get your "land legs" back if I don't break it up.
!!LookAtmyAss!!
I WILL conquer that hill............. someday. Maybe Spring Break when the college punks are gone
