And I won't be running on Sunday. I ran 15 minutes. Legs, lungs, nose all felt good but at 15 minutes I got extremely dizzy/lightheaded and couldn't walk in a straight line. I stopped and sat down for a bit. I walked the last 15 minutes home. I am sad, depressed and so pissed at myself/the situation.
This does suck! I am so sorry.0 -
62 of 150+ miles. Chipping away at it.3

After a recovery month (if you can call December that with the holiday eating ), it's time to start training for the Syracuse Half in March...
January:
1/1 – 4.2 miles - Resolution Run
1/2 – 1 mile - part of a triathlon test - did 7 miles on stationary bike, then 1 mile run
1/3 – 4.5 miles
1/4 – 3 miles - Fleet Feet Half Marathon Training Class - two 1.5 mile intervals to determine pace group
1/5 – 4.5 miles
1/6 – rest day - travel
1/7 – rest day - travel
1/8 – 6 miles
1/9 – rest day
1/10 – 4.5 miles
1/11 – 5.5 miles - Fleet Feet Half Marathon Training Class - Speed Work
January total to date – 33 miles so far
From this point on, Mondays and Saturdays will be cross days riding a stationary bike (until I can get outside onto my bike again). I will be doing strength work (squats, lunges, upper body and hip work) on Tues/Thurs/Sat after running. I have also signed up for a Sprint Triathlon in June (my brothers in law talked me into it :-| ) - so I will be taking a swim training class on Fridays now to get ready for that portion. On Saturdays, I may add in a 2 mile run right after the bike to help prep for the tri.
The next 3 months should be busy4 -
@RunsOnEspresso I'm really sorry to hear that.

Today marked the last of three back-to-back long runs. We have rain on the radar after today, so I'm glad to have gotten these out of the way with; I'm certainly looking forward to some rest days for sure, and then it'll be back to doing more strength work.

@runsonespresso ugh I'm sorry that totally sucks
@MNlittlefinn happy calves ha ha let us know how PT goes today. Hey I had one of those toes for months, then half came off and how I have a half lumpy toe nail about a year later. Amazing how slow toe nails grow.
@stoshew71 I asked on the newsfeed but I'll throw it back out here "spm" steps per minute?? So that leads me to this, why does that matter? I get so confused where speed is concerned are you better to have more spm or a small stride or a longer stride?0 -
@RunsOnEspresso - Well that just stinks, no other way to put it. Hope you feel better soon. Can you find another marathon in the upcoming weeks?0

I can answer the @Stoshew71 question you had. SPM is steps per minute. Higher steps per minute is better for injury prevention and, from what I read, it's also connected with making sure you don't over stride, shorter strides with higher SPM are easier on your body. I was told, by 2 different folks I was working/running with that a good goal is 180 SPM.

@RunsOnEspresso Sorry you'll miss the marathon
@TattooedDolphinGirl78 Way to tough it out! Workouts count for double when you don't feel like it :-p
@garygse You ran more in 3 days than I've ever run in a single week. LOL
@mmteixeira Very busy indeed! Good luck with the training.
I see a few names I don't recognize so if you're a newbie then HELLO and WELCOME4 -
Good news: no stress fracture! Doctor said there was a ton of cortical thickening and some edema indicative of a stress injury that's been trying to heal over and over but hasn't gotten the proper recovery time. So, 4 weeks off of running and she said Flying Pig is probably too early to train back to a full marathon. However, no scary surgery requiring putting a metal rod in my leg! Yes, I guess if the MRI showed a fracture, this was a possibility that she didn't want to scare me with initially. So, I consider it fantastic news that she thinks 4 weeks off running is all I need (contingent on my pain/progress). In the meantime, I'll have a few sessions of physical therapy and a gait analysis and I can do some low resistance biking in addition to swimming and walking.8

@Stoshew71 -Great run. 8X hill repeats nestled in a 10 miler....you are a beast!
Looking forward to my evening run. First time in a good while that temps will be above freezing with no rain. And I might even get out with a little bit of daylight left for the start of it. Happy for the small things!1
