    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.

    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 busy :)

    @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.

    01 - 5.21 miles
    02 - 5.60
    07 - 5.56
    08 - 5.60
    10 - 10.71
    11 - 11.21
    12 - 11.19

    Total: 55.08 / 75

    @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?

    @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?

    yeah, haha, I've had that toenail for months.

    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 WELCOME :)

    @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!
