@ohhim- I haven't had time to read the whole report, but I will. I did read about the 3000 calories you ate while biking. When I did my 100 mile bike ride, I had about 3 Clif bars, 8 packs of Sports beans, PBJ and bananas at the stops, and an unknown quantity of Gatorade, actually Skratch. It's so weird because you could never eat like that on a run but on a bike you have to or you will bonk. You are just... AMAZING!
@kristinegift - deer stared you down.... yikes!

4 miles in 38:46 on the hilly neighborhood route. Goal was to be between 9:45 and 10 pace, actual was 9:44. Had a side stitch around mile 2.5 but was able to outrun it. Knee is feeling sore and shin is feeling tender, so I'll need to make sure I get in some knee exercises today and probably take a slower pace tomorrow.2 -

Today's nootes. I did the normal 3 mile loop around twice this morning. For the folks who check my Strava, you can see that miles 3 and 6 had some of the worst HR averages for the run. This is because the weatherman LIED. instead of a WSW wind, which would have been in my face only part of the run, it was a SW to SSW wind, and Hammered be on the long southbound stretch of the loop.
Average HRs for the splits were: 146, 151, 156, 154, 153, 155; for an overall average of 153. Garmin has more time spent in z3 than Strava does but that's because Garmin has my z2 topping out at 155, and Strava has it at 156.
All in all, a harder run than I was planning, but I only have 16 more miles this week, so I think I'm OK.2 -
11/1 - 5.1 miles. Gorgeous 62° morning to run!
11/2 - Slept in. Stayed up too late cheering the Cubs victory!

11/4 - 4.7 miles.
11/5 - 3.5 miles. Easy, short run with my 10 year old son.

11/8 - Bodypump class.
11/9 - Slept in. Election "hangover"
11/10 - 5.32 miles. Trek class / treadmill (oddly, exact same distance as last week)

You've got more than enough time. I'm sure you'll smash it by the end of the month.0 -
Anyone ever had a professional training plan made for them? I'm feeling like, since I'm so impulsive with my running, that having a set plan for the 18-20 weeks leading up to my marathon would be a big help. Trying to get some insight if folks have had that done before.0

Nope! I always wrote my own based upon the concepts that I am constantly preaching.
If you are so inclined to pay someone, pay me. I will gladly steal your money offer my services to you.
On a serious note. If you are going to pay someone to write a plan, in order to get your money's worth, I would suggest the following.
1) They have to understand your goals, your current limitations, your current fitness level, and schedule (personal life items that would dictate your running schedule), before they even attempt to put a plan together for you.
2) That they will be able to constantly see your progress and offer modifications to the plan as needed. They will regularly ask you questions about how each run went or at the very least how the week went.
3) Be available to answer any questions that you may have.

@lissadecker I hope it's nothing, but it's a good idea to get it checked out.
@kristinegift I got a picture of that deer for you this morning. Yeah him standing there staring you down is a good reason to go another way
11/10 - 0 today had to have the Macy girl at the groomer at 7:00 this morning.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Sometimes I really think I need a coach. My "problem" is that I just love running, so figuring out mileage/intensity/rest/ all that stuff......Nope! I always wrote my own based upon the concepts that I am constantly preaching.

Apparently I had inflammation around my back ribs causing the pain. I feel better today. Probably run tomorrow.3

Yesterday was a rest day, meaning I only ran three miles. LOL
Tonight I don't have any plans, so I'll be able to get in a longer run. I'd like to make it at least six miles, since I won't have a chance to run on Friday.3 -

You are doing awesome! Isn't it great having an "easy" day be something that wasn't even possible before? I know I loved it when 3 miles became an easy, short run.1 -

I need to move where you live. He is magnificent. All I see are squirrels carrying nuts in their mouths, no black bears, deers, squirrels, skunks. We have beautiful trees here...so much color.
Rest day today. Going to work tonight. Then attending an in-service at 1 p.m. After that, fitting a run in before meeting my trainer at the gym.1 -
