    January total to date – 178.06

    Nominal Challenge Goal – 225 miles
    Real Goals: Train toward Boston, working 3 Freezeroo races plus Winter Warrior Half into the training plan. Avoid injury.

    Today's notes – Today the Winter Weather Advisory turned into nuisance snow all day long. Accumulation was minor, but it was always coming down. If the assignment had been easy, I would have run outside in the daylight and been fine. But the assignment was speed work on the indoor track. The college closed the good track to set up for a rah-rah announcement of their new president tomorrow morning. :( The weather motivated many students who might have run or walked outside into the upper track, which has only 3 lanes. Add the club, trying to do speed work on an inferior track with 3 lanes and quite a bit of traffic.

    All that, and I had a caffeine headache. Drank more coffee than I should have yesterday afternoon, and the withdrawal caught up to me today. Dumb, and I know better, and I know how to avoid this in the future; but now I have to live through a day or two of discomfort to get past it.

    I considered bagging the speed work entirely, but when other club members started running their workout, I had to try. Ran the 4 x 200 at R, with 200 recovery. Set out for the 3 x 600 at R, and found that at 400 I was done. Gave myself 400 recovery, then went into the second set of 4 x 200 at R. What I did came out okay, but it was lighter than the assignment and I was whipped at the end. Ran an extra mile and a half on the cool down to make up the miles for the training plan.

    Coach's comment: Don't get injured. I'll have to think about that. Perhaps I'll tone down Thursday's tempo intervals more than I had planned, and/or skip the race on Saturday. As much as I'd like to do well at Freezeroo #4, Bend is more important. I'll see how I'm feeling after an easy day tomorrow and a rest day on Friday.

    I took a week break due to travel and a minor pain in my right foot (from all the walking around in flat snow boots during the travels.) I'm going to push real hard to finish January strong.

    @dkabambe I jump between cardio equipment at the gym too, but that's because I get bored there very easily! And, can you defer the marathon entry until next year and do it then? I bet that's a beautiful destination race and it'd be a shame to waste the entry.

    @greenolivetree Seeing other runners out when you know you can't go always makes me jealous too! Glad you got back out there and had a nice run.

    @RespectTheKitty I took a similar medication for a while that had a sedative effect, and to get out there and do any exercise, coffee will be your new BFF!

    @Orphia- I almost had my leg amputated due to a glute/hamstring injury, but I decided to try and work it out on its own and I'm glad I did. Yes, it was a slow process, but after two long and grueling days, I was back out there ;) Hang in there...I hope your leg feels better soon!

    @lporter229

    :smiley::smiley::smiley:

    It was fine today, after having 3 days off running, and 2 days swimming instead. But the pwiggles made me immediately go into hyperdrive. Brain borkout! Scared to run again before Sunday.

    Forgot to post my monthly challenge goal. After failing to meet my goal 2 months in a row, I am staying with the 50 mile goal for this month and at least one in outside per week.

    1/1......rest day Happy New Year!
    1/2......6 miles...pace 12:30.
    1/3.....work
    1/4.....Jillian Michaels Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, Classical stretch
    1/5......3.72 miles on treadmill @ 12:14 pace, average heart rate at 88% max.
    1/9.....3.87 miles on treadmill at 11:45 pace, average max heart rate st 85%.
    1/20.....3 miles...pace 11:30, av max heart rate at 89%
    1/24....4.32 miles....pace 11:45 at max heart rate at 88%. Spinning class.


    Total...20.91
    Goal...50 miles

    I doubt that I will make goal this month either. When I get days off, it rains or just can't get motivated to get out there. Had scratchy throat all day, from sinuses draining.

    I attended Spinning class at my gym....boy do my legs feel weak.! It was a good workout. I usually have a nagging ache in my left ankle but after Spinning class, my legs feel great.

    @MNLittleFinn Have you tried Spinning class to help your leg soreness problems?

    @louubelle16 Good idea and definitely worth a try - I'll confirm my place, leave it a week or two then see if can defer.

    As for gym I do also get bored and jump machines. Yesterday was weird though in that I didn't intend to do cardio at all!

    @RespectTheKitty I hope the new medication helps with the depression and anxiety! That's the most important, and whatever combination of walks and runs you do in the end will be great, as long as you get to enjoy the fresh air and activity.

    @dkabambe That marathon looks really nice - if I thought there was a chance I'd be marathon-ready by then, I'd be seriously tempted. If you win another marathon entry on a beautiful island in May or early June, let me know ;)

    @bmelb1 Sounds like you had a great run! Some days running is just too much fun to stop after the planned distance.

    @OSUbuckeye906 Glad to hear your PT visit went so well! That training plan sounds really interesting - much better than just "don't run for 12 weeks at all". I've never done aqua jogging either, but I recently read an article about it and was surprised to learn that you do it in deep water without touching the group - I always assumed you were supposed to run in place in more shallow water.

    @Orphia Good to hear you didn't have to amputate the leg :p

    I was going to do my speed work session yesterday, but my left leg was still bugging me. It was sore after trails Sunday but the Monday run exacerbated it. So I took a rest day instead -- which was fine since by the time I got home from work it was basically dark and the rain was turning to tiny ice pellets. I ran slow and easy this morning with a group though and the leg feels fine, so I will get my speed session in tonight instead. Which means no weights today but instead on Friday. Gah! One of these weeks I'll get all the workouts in as planned! ;)

    @RespectTheKitty - hope meds works well! Good idea not to set a number and just go for as many days as you can get out there.

    @kristinegift - ice pellets!!! yikes!

    Today it felt much colder than the temperature said - almost went back home for gloves. Yeah, 47, wimpy Florida girl, I know. But I loved it!
    Tomorrow will take a cardio rest day because the new trainer is giving me my "functional workout" whatever that means. I did a ton of abs/biceps/triceps/lunges/squats for an hour yesterday. I'm loving that weird leg compression machine! I looked it up and it is over $2k! This gym specializes in triathletes doing ironmans so I guess that's why they have these:
    Here it is for anyone who is looking for birthday ideas for yourself.

    1/22- 3.14
    1/23- 5.06
    1/24- REST
    1/25- 7.15

    Total: 79.92

    Monthly goal: stay healthy and continue base building to start marathon training at the end of the month.
    Nominal mileage goal: 70 (revised down after injury).

    Today's notes: Progression run today. My leg felt fine running, so I did indeed pick up the pace for the last 2 miles, ran them both at 8:40 pace. Leg felt fine the whole run, and only started bothering me like a half an hour after I was done, so I'm thinking this may be as much a recovery issue as anything.

    Tomorrow is an optional XT day, so I may just do the IT Band Rehab routine that's assigned, and call it good. I figure that since it's an XT day, I'm not losing any miles, and extra rest while my leg heals is a better idea.

    back home, had a nice trip and managed to run a bit as well

    it's true, they run with a tracksuit! or alternative leggins AND shorts above it, that was quite unusual to see for me :)

    in the first 3 days I took advantage of the hotel gym, did elliptical - how hard is it!!! - and 5k around tokio, but that was very busy and the experience was not pleasant, even if I kept keeping a straight line on the footpath people just try to crash into you, especially for the bikes

    then went into the Japanese alps, and with more than 1 mt snow running was def not an option

    had a nice run around Hiroshima and Okayama, but the best was along the river in Kyoto, very very pleasant and quite

    finally, nice run in the street of Osaka, that was a non sense because the "city center" is so chaotic, went out during peak time, and found not many people around

    went out today for my usual 13.5km, nice day

    with horror I found out that my leg muscle is not right, even after a couple of days of rest, I feel cramps randomly and sometimes I cannot flex the leg. going to a physio in a couple of hours, hope to sort it out

    tomorrow bike if it is not frozen

    After several Emails back and forth to my PT, he wants me to keep icing my leg and start doing some calf raises in addition to the stretching. This got me to wondering, maybe, with him having me do the static stretching, I neglected the strength for that leg, and now I'm feeling the repercussions of that, with my new calf/shin pain.

    My Total/January: 79.5 miles
    Mike's Total: 66.5 miles

    Managed to get out the door earlier this morning which always makes for a more comfortable run for me. Even though we got an earlier start today, Mike had a job scheduled this morning so we only had time for 3.5 miles. It felt good though and right now I am thinking that if it is not too warm this evening then I might have a second run later instead of my usual evening walk.

    @OSUbuckeye906 Sounds like you found yourself a good PT. That is excellent news. I hope things continue to go well for you!

    @greenolivetree Good to hear things seem to be settling down a bit for you.

    @RespectTheKitty I hope your new med works out for you. It can be pretty frustrating trying to find the right prescription/dosage. Here's hoping that you get it dialed in relatively quickly.

    Have a fabulous rest of the day!
