    Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

            Hi Holly----Enjoy this well deserved less structured and recovery running week. Enjoy the after glow of a well done race as well----Congrats!


            This week for me will contain some pretty focused work before I ease back again next week and then join the throngs at the NYC marathon. Woo hoo!


            10/19----5 easy----5 easy no watch

            10/20----12 (3 wu/6@7:30 pace/3 cd)

            10/21----10 (2 wu/8 steady on hills)------4.2 instead, pressed for time and needed recovery running

            10/22----4 easy-----10.4 miles of hills---8:15 pace

            10/23----14-16 w/8-10@7:45 pace-----14.3 with 8 at 7:30/7:45 pace

            10/24----5 (maybe with a 5k---Chasen a Mason)----4.2 easy pace--tired and rainy out---no racing

            10/25----12 (w/4@7:45)----12.3 with 5 at 7:45ish

              Going to need a Pass this week.

               

              Feeling better today but still a day a way from trying some recovery miles on Wed.

               

              M -- 0  does walking down stairs sideways count.  Actually walking around feels better than sitting and then trying to walk.  Ended up working standing up part of day.

               

              T -- 0  may hit the pool and whirlpool at the gym. Ended up with 1 Hr of Deep water running / Swimming ... Felt Good

               

              W -- 3 miles Recovery  - - Opted for csaution and 2 mile walk instead as did not fully pass the "Can walk down stairs without struggle" test

               

              TH -- ?? See how wed feels  -- Ran 5 pretty good recovery miles.  started of stiff but by end the run served its purpose.  Funny thing is the other muscles are more sore than hammy now.  I guess running with a alterded stride with 1 peg leg took its toll on other muscles as lowerback, hips, glutes have been extremely tight and surprisingly the opposite Quad.   Swimming/Deep Water Running in AM.

               

              FR --  4 Easy Miles in evening, 1 hr Gym in AM (Speedrope, med ball, boxing, light weights)

               

              Sat --  3 miles Treadmill, 30 min Ellyptical, 30 min Pool

               

              Sun -- 8 Easy Miles

               

              Total - 20 miles

              BTW -- Signed up for Rocket City (12/12/09) as have not given up on 3:45 for 2009

                Hi all, I guess I'm back. Decided to start another running schedule. No injuries just toasted after all the hot/humid running.

                Tues: 12 miles - 12 miles, long run pace, felt harder than it should have.. legs were tired after 6 miles.

                Wed: 11 miles - 9.0 miles, legs of lead

                Thurs: 5 miles - 7.8 miles, slow and easy, legs loosened up after 3 miles

                Fri: 9 miles - 9.0 miles including 8x800 @ tempo with 8x400 easy interval. legs felt better at a faster pace.

                Sat: 5 miles - 5.0 miles, nice easy run, legs feeling better

                Sun: 17 miles - 18.0 miles, lots of hills, fairly easy pace, run much better than expected.

                Total: 60.8 miles

                        Thanks again Holly for doing this for all of us! I about forgot to post my weekly miles again. I would post what I ran everyday, but it would be a jumbled mess--------I had 67.3 miles for the week (4 miles from a weekly PR) with the highlights being a 21.5 miler with a good 5K race which I won (very happy bout that) then 10 more miles Sun to have a 31.5 weekend which made up about 1/2 my weekly miles---- Marathon training is going well, and I am getting more excited as time goes on------TimBo

                        Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!
