Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time. ~John Lubbock

The School Year That Never Ends is supposed to do just that this week. We say bye-bye to the kiddos tomorrow, then I have workshop days on Wednesday and Friday, so finally my job will no longer interfere with my running. Which really means: no excuses!
MONDAY - PT followed by light stretching and some strength stuff at home
TUESDAY - ran 3; walked 1; carpy but I got it done
WEDNESDAY - podiatrist, PT, drinks & dinner with a friend to celebrate the end of the school year; chilling now in anticipation of becoming an early-morning runner tomorrow
THURSDAY - ran 3; walked 1; hottest run so far this year - almost 80 and humid
FRIDAY - stretching and early to bed for tomorrow's early morning run
SATURDAY - up by 5:30, but didn't get out the door until almost 7; making progress in the early morning running department, anyway; ran 4.5, walked 1; hot humid, yucky
SUNDAY - 10-mile bike ride; took it easy and managed it in 10 minutes less than my most intense attempts last summer
Summary - ran 10.5; walked 3; biked 10; finally got to NJ for more than one night and am finally on summer-time - hooray!!

then I have workshop days on Wednesday and Friday,
Apparently, I need to go back and learn to read. I read that as "worship days" and that got me wondering for a minute exactly what that was all about....
Well school isn't ending here any time soon. My kids bawled and threw a fit when I told them school was over, so we're going to a 3 day a week program for at least part of the summer.
OK, I'll try to fess up with my plan here:
walked 1 mi, 10 min strength, 30+ trips to ocean at low
tide from high tide mark to get buckets of water for kids
ran 4 mi, another 10+ trips to ocean at low tide (95 steps,
each way. I counted!)
Total: ran 19 mi, 35 min slideboarding, 30 min stretch/strengthen, 7600 steps of bucket carrying to/from ocean
GOALS 2012: UNDECIDED
GOALS 2011: LIVE!!!
My plan for the week.
Monday - run 3.5........done!
Tuesday - run 3.5, swim 1 mile, Zumba class .... no Zumba, ate too much for lunch
Wed. - run 3.5 ..... ran 4.4!
Thursday - ran 3.1, Zumba
Friday - rest .... swam 1 mile
Sat - 5K trail race
Sunday - 4 miles
Nono - "worship days" - we go in to school and thank whatever deity we believe in that the kids aren't there?!?!?!
Works for me.
Ha!!!
And Nono - Your kids actually want to go to school?? Good for you!

This is marathon week for me! Eek, not sure how that got here so fast. It also means the first month of summer is almost done. Waaahh! Ok, enough whining...
Monday: 10 min. (1.06 mile) Elliptical, 35 minutes weights/core, 10 min. Pool Running. Perfect XT effort!
Tuesday: 4.5 miles running, .6 mile walk c/d
Wednesday: 4 miles on the treadmill, .7 mile walk
Thursday: Travel Day!
Friday: 2.5 miles easy around Seward Park
Saturday: Seattle Rock-n-Roll Marathon! 26.2 miles, no PR in sight...
Sunday: Walked all over downtown Seattle all afternoon... I'm beat!
Totals: 37.2 miles running, lots of walking, some weights, pool running and ellipticalling
Thanks Leslie. I do love the quote, but work is hard enough today!! sheeesh.,
Hi everyone.
Hi Helen!
Where's nowor? I miss her.
Erika that did come up fast! hey wtg on your 10K. I know... one month gone.... & it really just started getting warm here. but you just took away my whining rights. waaaaah.
will put down my plan when i figure out what it is!!! (Nono... still the same basic plan)
Plan:
Monday, rest.
Actual:
Monday, 1 hr. verstegen's prehab & some of the injured runner dvd.
oh well. I got in the first 2! Nono, I've changed to Level 1. And so this week did week 8 of that, mileage wise, plus just a litte more each day. still doing my own versions of crosstraining, they incorporate many of Matt's things. Next week I'm going to try to follow the plan more closely. back to serious. well, I have been serious. just hurt.
totals.... 20.1 miles running, 2 hrs. 15 min. assorted strength training. elliptical hurts my knee, bike hurts my butt, pool runing hurts my hammies. But I'll get over it. I want to add some of those back soon, because it really did help cardiovascularly. This is a good learning experience. ;-)
Thanks Leslie, very appropriate quote for last week
Week 2/18 of my marathon training plan, and I'm already making changes to it.
Mon... 30min easy run -> 5K easy run + 20min of LB endurance strength.
Tue.... 50min easy run ->Since I can't run tomorrow, I did an amazing 10.1K tempo run this morning. I wasn't trying to go fast, but it turned out to be my fastest pace this month: 6:24/kilometer! And I wasn't chasing anyone
Thu.... 60min easy run -> 8.8K in 58min. A deer crossed our path. I stopped to watch it till it was out of sight. I'm sleepy and don't think my head ever woke up during the run. Too many 6 hour nights. I need to turn in early tonight.
Fri...... 30min easy run -> Jeez, only a 5K out&back loop but I crashed and burned halfway. I do not run well on baked potatoes! Nice morning though.
Sat..... 40min easy run ->7K easy run (48min) with Spooky. Followed by a walk with Spike interspersed with a few minutes of running now and then.
Sun.... 2hr long run ------> never went out this early for a long run before: 20.635K (2h26) at 6 AM. Feel sooooo good. And it's such a great feeling having done it with the rest of the day free to do whatever...
Total mileage: 56.5K (35.1 miles) for the week. Not a bad week at all Running wise anyway.
DutchieRun the day, or the day runs you.
Well it's actually bad for me, as I homeschool.
Ohhhhhhhh! I was wondering, cuz I don't know many kids who MISS school! You must be doing a great job!
