      Looking for a place to Happen, making stops along the way - The Hip

        (plan)


        Monday
        :  (run 30 min) ran 2.2; walked 1.0; tired and stomach a little off; beautiful evening, though


        Tuesday: (walk 30 min) taking Friday's rest day; it's pouring, I ran 2 days in a row, and I'm on a tight schedule since I'm going to see "Playing for Change" tonight


        Wednesday: (run 30 min) right AT a little dodgy; 45 minutes of pilates and power yoga;  MTA - major HAPPY DANCE around 11:30 after the ball game - GO PHILLIES!!!!!   


        Thursday: (walk 30 min) wanted to run, but too sleep-deprived and have another ball game to watch tonight, so walked 3.5 miles in just under an hour


        Friday: (rest) walked 2 spooky miles on an almost-deserted boardwalk after rehearsal, wearing my Phillies World Series tech shirt; too many scary people in Yankees accoutrements for my taste; dudes, this is a Philly shore town, go to Atlantic City already!


        Saturday: (run 2.75 miles) walked 1.0, ran 2.8 on the boardwalk


        Sunday: (walk or rest) walked 1.0, ran 2.3 and could have easily kept going - think I found that lost mojo  Smile


        Summary - walked 8.5; ran 7.3; stayed on target with the plan  Smile

          Thanks, Ev! hey I did run 12 miles last week too, did I forget to put that in? [ETA: thanks, I know I'm a PITA!]

          Somebody please get my butt in gear. I feel like I'm just drifting aimlessly. So much for looking forward to not having a training plan...

           

          Monday: 40 minutes pool running

          Tuesday: 4.2 miles on the treadmill at the gym, .5 mile walk

          Wednesday: 15 min (1.64 mile) elliptical, 22 minutes weights; 3.4 miles easy on the treadmill at home after work

          Thursday: 5 miles on the treadmill @ 8:33 avg pace, .4 mile walk (these lunchtime runs always feel so rushed!!)

          Friday: 15 min (1.6 mile) elliptical, 25 minutes weights

          Saturday: 30 min. pool running

          Sunday: 9.2 miles, 8:23 average. Coldest run so far this season at 16 to start, 14 at the finish

           

          Totals: 21.8 miles run, 1 hr 10 min pool running, 30 min (3.24 miles) elliptical, 2 x weights/abs (47 minutes), about a mile walking (that I measured). A good week, I guess, with something evry day.

           

          Just gotta say there's entirely too much sickie stuff going on around here! Get well, everybody, and stop sneezing on the screen!!

            Erika - that's what happened to me after the half, my first big race.  No plan + the flu + no plan = a month of being a lazy butt!  I'm finally back on track.  As hard as you work, I think a week or two of semi-slacking wouldn't set you back very far.

              Hi all, and thanks for getting us started Evryday.

              No plans for this week. The not eating for 5 days did a number on me. I'm slowly starting to eat real food. Yesterday was homemade pumpkin soup with cauliflower and cubed potatoes. Didn't sit quite well in my stomach but at least it was nutritious.

               

              Think I won't get a run in till Saturday. Walking still causes discomfort in my tummy, so running is out of the question. Maybe some strength training?

               

              Mon  - off sick

              Tue   - off sick

              Wed - 20 min LB and 25 min UB strength training at a very leisurely pace (took me over 60 minutes to finish) and with really light weights. But it felt good to be doing something

              Thu  -first day back at work. Exhausted!

              Fri    - 10 min ab work out

              Sat   - 45min doggie walk (about 3 kms)

              Sun  - 60min doggie walk (about 4 kms)

              Dutchie
              Run the day, or the day runs you.

               

                Thanks Ev for keeping us going!  Somebody sure needs to Smile.

                 

                Not sure what my plan is for this week....taking a little time to get over a cold and then we'll see. 

                 

                Mon - nada unless sneezing and blowing your nose counts as cross training

                Tue - nada

                Wed - nada...rest, hack, rest

                Thu - nada...Nyquil at 3 am not a good idea

                Fri - nada....starbucks run Smile

                Sat - 3 miles walking, lotsa house cleaning

                Sun -  2.5 miles doggie walking, 1 mile doggie running, 10 rolls in the grass (Katy the dog, not me) 

                 

                Totals:  5.5 miles walking, 1 mile running

                    thanks evryday!

                     

                    still not too much of a plan.  I had one, but PT today made me shift things around a bit.  My right knee issue might be a potential (looking back at this, it looks seriously flakey.  but it is what i meant. ;-) ) meniscus tear.  I'm thinking every other day running.  yes?  no?

                     

                    evryday (as opposed to evry other day) , I wasn't sure either what I meant by element immersion.  think it was just wind & rain...  ( :-)  )

                     

                    dutchie, I hope you're better!...     your soup sounds great. 

                    Carol, i hope you're better too.

                    Leslie, nice LR double.

                    Paul, nice month!

                    Erika, give yourself a break.  ( i mean, don't be hard on yourself. this LITTLE break was well earned & I think much needed)

                     

                    day      plan   actual
                     mon  

                     looked at 'building a better runner' dvd's, selecting more exercises. 30-40 min.

                     tues    5.11 miles, 9:51 pace. 
                     wed    40 min. core/strength things from Matt Fitzgerald's book
                     thurs    3.04 miles 9:58 pace.    
                     fri    25 min. elliptical, 29 minutes recumbent bike, back lifts, calf lifts, ub & lb weight machines, stab. ball reverse crunches, hammie curls & russian twists.
                     sat    40 min. assorted strength training.. verstegen, pt, fitzgerald, yessis.   .. I think.  ;-)
                     sun  

                     10.08 miles, 10:06 pace.

                     

                    totals.. 18.2 miles running,  much more walking w/doggie, (porr thing, i was neglecting her), 25 min. ellipticalling, 29 min. recumbent biking, 2 hrs. 15 min. strength stuff.  still not back to normal, though I didn't think I was normal in the first place!   but evryday, I took care of that bewilderment thing, thanks.  ;-).
