3/31

3 easy yesterday, now full taper mode for the next 2 days.

30 minutes of yoga today.

123 miles for March. My goal was to break 120, so I did that...we'll see what happens next month.

3/29

4.3 at easy pace. Didn't sleep well last night so it felt harder than it should have. Leg achy.

3/28

Easy 5.3 on the TM. Cold is back and I feel like crud.

3/26

8.1 today at 10:28/mile; worked really hard to keep it slower after having tons of leg pain the last two days. One SRD and one USRD at Neil's insistence; 6 on Wednesday.

25.1 today for the week and 110.4 total for the month.

3/22

5 easy on the TM. Leg super achy last night--had to take Tylenol at 2 AM and wrap it up in a heating pad before I could finally get to sleep. Pretty worried.

3/21

6 good speedy miles outside with Jules (she biked). Windy and hilly. 9:31 overall. 10:06/9:49/9:46/9:33/9:11/8:37

3/19

5.3 with Neil and Nate in the stroller; 10:25/mile. Yoga to finish.

30.3 for the week; 85.3 for the month.

3/18

3 easy. No time for more; ankle pretty achy yesterday but Neil rubbed the tendons and that helped a lot.

Forgot to note yoga on my SRD earlier this week.

3/17

12 from Sharps' to bottom of Happy Hollow. 18 mpw winds with 24 mpw gusts; 9:50/mile.

Mile splits: 10:20, 9:49. 10:02, 10:08, 9:55, 9:05, 10:31, 10:02, 9:44, 9:47, 9:29, 8:57

Hard run but a great run!

3/15

5 easy. Leg aching.

3/14

5 with speedwork; 51:25.

3/11

3/11: 4.5 with speedwork
3/10: 4.2 easy

Feeling pretty crummy these days--slept 12 hours last night. Nausea really awful.

3/9

5.3 with the jogging stroller; very slow uphill against the wind! I think Nathan and the stroller both gained a few pounds over the winter! But overall a good run. Walked half a mile when we got home, since Nate wanted to ramble around, and then yoga to finish since the right leg was a little stiff.

3/8

Very long, hot, miserable, and mentally fatiguing 11 on the treadmill. Blah blah blah. 10:34/mile and felt about 1000x slower than that. Legs were really tired from the speedwork the day before.

3/7

5 in 51:12 (intervals--5.6, 5.6, 6, 5.6, 5.6, 6. 5.6, 5.6, 6, 6.1, repeat). Fast finish at 6.4,

3/5

5 easy and yoga today. Pretty stiff after yesterday since it was the first time I've done hills since sfx, so I took the precaution of walking a few miles with my kids this morning to loosen up before I started running! (Super muddy; my two-year-old was in ankle-deep-mud heaven!) Yoga afterwards felt great--I sure needed it! Ran in my new Adrenalines today and remembered how much more cushy they are than the Ravennas. smile emoticon

Feeling really good about this week--lots of firsts in my recovery (first double-digit, first 30-mile week in months, etc.). 25 for the month; 30 for the week. Hoping to break 120 for the month.

3/4

Thursday: 30 minutes bike (8.54 miles) and 30 minutes yoga

Friday: 10 miles; 10:21/mile, along 52-231-Lindberg-HH, back up the hill and down through the bog to home. Hard run with lots of hills, but ran it 32 seconds/mile faster than last week; last 3 miles were 10:03, 10, and 9:32. Good run!

3/3

XT: 30 minutes yoga and 30 minutes biking (8.55 miles--really didn't push it in preparation for LR first thing tomorrow).

3/2

5 miles in 52:20.

3/1

Easy 5 today. Feeling a little tired; need to get to sleep earlier tonight than I have the last few nights. All the nights of Nathan waking up ten times a night (had 4 of those last week) took a toll and I've been dragging a bit.
