My rest day today. It was still snowing a bit when I woke up but the roads are just wet, so at least I didn't have a cruddy drive into work. I have a hair appointment (cut & color) after work so I'm looking forward to that - a little pampering at the end of a long 12 day stretch.

Sherry just reading about your schedule makes me exhausted. I'm impressed you're able to fit in working out so often! Shows you have true dedication to your health & fitness.

Donna you're putting in a lot of miles each week! I was just asking Jason last night about my running schedule because now that I'm officially on the training schedule for my half marathon he has me building what feels very aggressively. I've been doing 2 & 3 mile runs during the week all winter during my maintenance phase, and continued those runs even when my Saturday runs got longer (because I was doing them on the treadmill and I don't want to run more than that on the treadmill). Now he's bumping up my Monday, Wednesday & Saturday distances and it just feels like a lot all at once. I ran 14.5 miles last week and he had me doing 18 this week. My biggest week ever, just before my surgery, was 15 miles, so we're totally violating the 10% rule. He let me drop yesterday's run down to 2 miles instead of 3.5 (also since I had to do it on the treadmill because it was snowing) so that will bring me to 16.5 which is exactly 10% from last week. Next week he has me doing 20, so we might have to negotiate again. LOL. On his original schedule my Monday run went from 2 miles last week, to 3.5 miles with hill repeats (6 x 30 seconds) this week, to 4 miles with hill repeats (6 x 45 seconds) next week. Wednesday went from 3 to 3.5 to 4, and Saturday went from 9 to 11 to 13. That's a lot of extra miles! Debating whether to apply today's threadstarter quote to this situation. :-)

Rest day again, feeling sick last few days.
