Pre-week thoughts: Traveling for work ALL week this week, so workouts will be hard to get in. Still planning on most of the usual though... we'll see how much I'm able to do!

Week-end thoughts: Pretty darn happy with what I was able to accomplish this week! Not all went according to plan but got a lot of good work done.

Monday - hotel lift & ( Read more... )

Definitely liking my decision to do Croft. It gives me a good near-term goal to focus on and keep moving as the weather changes. Plus gives me time to think through my plans for the winter & early spring.

Monday - lift & runDid a quick 2.25 miles outside, 8:09 pace. Since I decided this (Monday) morning to do Croft Half in 2 weeks (!!) I figured ( Read more... )

Ok so December half marathon plans are scrapped, I signed up for the Camp Croft Trail Half Marathon on Nov. 5th, and I'm planning for a January/February half marathon possible PR attempt. Race TBD. Doing Croft was a snap decision that was made after yesterday's trail run and I was reminded how much I looooove being in the woods. It's just good for ( Read more... )

Well, this past week was a bit of a crazy one. Originally we planned to be on vacation Wednesday through the weekend, but the hurricane rolling through Florida cancelled all of our plans. We took an impromptu day off on Wednesday to go mountain biking and then finished out the rest of the week like a normal week. I'm still not decided on which half ( Read more... )

Decided I'm going to do a half marathon in early December… haven't decided which one quite yet, but there are several options. So it looks like I'm already behind a week in training (oops) but really, not bad ( Read more... )

Tuesday - #10kTuesday
Was warmer outside than I'd expected. Yucks. And Garmin ate my run, so I don't know my actual time/paces.* I ran the first mile on the road, 3 miles on the cross-country course, ( Read more... )

Just mentally catching up after being gone for work half of last week. I need to make some race decisions soon so I can get out of limbo!

Monday - rest
Still having coughing/chest congestion issues, so stayed out of the gym. 

Tuesday - #10kTuesdayNurse Practitioner said I should be OK to exercise, so I did #10kTuesday run at lunch outside. ( Read more... )

Went on vacation for a week and, oops! got behind on the blog. Here's what I've been up to since the last entry ( Read more... )

Taking this week as just a normal week - keeping with the schedule I've had for the previous training cycle (it works well for overall fitness) - lift, 10k Tuesday, bike, speedwork (or regular run), yoga, then run & bike on the weekends. Trying to identify what I want to do this fall. I'm pretty sure the Couch Potato (11/12) is on. Really want to ( Read more... )
