I am starting this now in case I don't have time in the morning tomorrow!
It is Thanksgiving week! I am definitely going to get some work in this week. I wish I could do the turkey trot on Thursday but with the lack of running I am not ready for a race.
Tell us about your runs/races this week!

I wish I had more of a plan for this week, working overnights Wednesday and Thursday so it is hard to get runs in between. Tomorrow I am planning on a 19-20 mile run though, should be fun (and wet!)0

A light next few days because my half marathon with flvsusandy is THURSDAY!!! I am super excited (and the nerves haven't set in yet, lol)
Hope everyone has a great thanksgiving week!0 -
So thrown off by this week's schedule. Not a fan of middle of the week Holidays, haha. I am doing my 2nd 10K on Thanksgiving morning. I really need to bike this week too before it gets really cold here next week, but Wednesday I can't workout due to working then traveling to family. Grrrr. I did a 6.5 mile run this morning and miscalculated the difficulty by FAR. I mapped an out and back route knowing there were 2 HUGE hills on the route, but forgot about having to come back over them on the way back! I now know what longer distance runners mean by their butts and legs locking up...that's the first time it's happened to me. Any tips for when your muscles lock up during the run?0

Good luck! I'll be cheering for you guys!0 -
Today: cross training! I did strength training: chest, shoulders, legs and abs. I also did the arc trainer for 30 minutes.
I am done.... tomorrow is my rest day! thank goodness!0 -
Rest day today, but what is everyone else up to today?0
-
Definitely a rest day, if not because my body needs it, then because the pile of homework I have does.0

I am going to run 4.5 miles today and I'm running without my running partner tomorrow (my husband), he has to work :sad: . so don't know how far tomorrow, I'm probably going to run 6 miles. No time to run on Thanksgiving, family coming over at 7am for breakfast.0

Woot! Good luck! Have fun!!
I'll be doing a measly 5 k on thursday, but I'll be running it with a friend so it should be fun!0 -
Thanks everyone! Pray I'm able to sleep tomorrow night!
bprague- initially I was just going to run a 10K on Thanksgiving, but then Sandy and I got this crazy notion late August that we could do a half marathon instead... so here we are! All the training is done, and I know we are ready!
Have fun at your 5K!0 -
It's been a tough week for me. I injured/pulled/stressed something in my hip/glute/hamstring last Thursday - I rested 100% Friday, major stretching only on Saturday, ran only 8 miles Sunday. Monday I did strength training and Tai Chi , and today I did stretching again. I'm feeling poorly with a very sore throat and may try to run on the treadmill to see if that helps me feel any better. My "goal" is to run 15 miles Thursday AM since I only got in 8 on Sunday.0

Well now, I am very happy to report an 18K run for me on Monday!! This is long for me, so I was quite happy. I've been doing some longish runs lately, 14K, 16K....and happily made it to 18 on Monday. I went slow, it was cold and windy for the first 7K, then I turned and did the rest with a wonderful push.
Yesterday, went to Halifax christmas shopping, so exercise yesterday.
Today, 10K on the TM. It is stormy, sleet snow and slush!0 -

Oh my a half-marathon, good luck!! I'm sure you will do great! When is it, tomorrow? Or Sunday?0 -

How exciting!! Good luck!!0 -
I had my best 6 mile run this am, my pace was 9.23, a PR for me! I have ran a 9.01 pace before but for a 5k, not 6 miles. It was wonderful, I couldn't have asked for better weather, 60 degrees, sunny and no wind. :happy:0

Nice job! I love it when the pieces all fall into place and you get a really sweet run.0 -
