    Well, my October 29 race is out. My son happens to have a drum recital on the same day at roughly the same time that I would be racing. SIGH.

    @mmteixeira Thanks for the suggestions. Yep, that was the same cookbook I bought too after :)

    @7lenny7 Thank you. I'll check it out! Long runs are so much easier when I find something interesting to listen to.

    Drop him off, go run, and come back in time to tell him how good he did....HAHAHAHAHAHA

    Seriously, sorry to hear that, but family comes first.

    Bummer!! My son may have an out of town soccer tournament the same day as my upcoming half marathon. I'm still doing my half marathon though! He plays soccer so much, I already paid for the HM, and it wasn't cheap.

    I'm thinking about starting my second cycle next week. Plan would be to finish the 2nd and 3rd weeks of this cycle with what I have planned for cycle. Basically just move things up by 3 weeks. Only real difference is I'd be adding 2 miles to the week. 1 each on my Tuesday and Saturday runs. I'm feeling good enough that I think I can do that without adverse effects. Then keep the schedule going as planned, with the normal caveats.

    Last year my HM fell on the same day that Skip would have run state if she qualified, she said what if I make State, I said I'm sure someone will drive you there. :smiley:

    sorry for the conflict @respectthekitty :disappointed:

    @shanaber hope the knee gets 100% soon.

    10/1....12 miles.
    10/4....3 miles.
    10/7....1.62 miles treadmill. Total..16.62 miles
    10/8....13.1 (Indianapolis Half Marathon....average pace 11:58
    10/9...Colts game...beer and a large pretzel....mistake...lots of swelling in left ankle.
    10/10...work
    10/11...6 miles run, mixing up fast sprints, easy run, fartleks...felt good but unable to muster a fast pace or increase heart rate much above 90% max heart rate. The half marathon took a lot out of me.
    10/16...8 miles at very, very slow pace...averaged 73% max heart rate.
    10/19....8 miles at very, very slow pace.....unable to share heart rate due to heart rate monitor malfunctioning, but I ran almost 13 minutes slower than 10/16...so pretty sure that I was at maximum of 73% max heart rate....this run was after working 4 out of 5 nights at work, and only 3 hours of sleep before the run.


    Total...51.72
    Goal...75 miles.

    5/6/17....Indianapolis Mini-marathon

    I will try to catch up with all of the posts...I am only 9 pages behind. I am working tonight as well....so maybe this weekend.....

    10/19: 5.7 miles (am), 5 miles (pm)
    10/20: Rest (am), 8.1 miles solo + 6.2 miles group (pm)

    Lazed in bed this morning reading debate recaps and put off my run to this evening, and I'm actually really glad I did. My calves were feeling kind of tight this morning but they were fine by the time I got off work so my run was probably far more enjoyable tonight than it would have been if I'd done it in the morning.

    My 8 solo miles were fairly speedy at an 8:15 pace overall with some decent elevation; my 6.2 miles with my group were slower at a 9:04 pace but that was much chattier and also in the dark. And splitting it up into 8 + 6 (and the 6 miles were 2 separate loops with a break in between to regroup!) made it feel like it was far fewer than 14 miles, which was great. Finally feeling like I'm getting my groove back after the roving soreness from Sunday's race, so I'm looking forward to some long weekend runs!
