I took the early spinning class, then did 45 more minutes on the stationary cycle for a total of 90 min. cardio. It actually was a great workout and I feel about as good as if I'd done for a run.<br><br>
For the first time since I injured it, I only "noticed" my foot when doing the standing moves in spinning -- it wasn't painful. I hope this indicates some progress!

SGH - I hope that things are getting better with your foot. You haven't let this sidetrack you from maintaining fitness, and I think that is great! You'll be back to running in no time, I have no doubt.<br><br>
Today is a rest day for me. I'll go to yoga class this evening.<br><br>
10 mile race in the morning. The morning low will be 18* - boo <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"> I guess I better dig out the winter tights.

 

[merigayle]

sgh- it should resolve fast since it is acute and you treated it head on.<br><br>
i did a 3 mile "boca raton" power walk on the TM this morning. Feeling good and itching to run on Sunday.

merigayle - Here is he being a hypocrite - "Make sure you give your body plenty of time to heal and take it real slow" So easy to say - So hard to do. At least take it easy for awhile.<br><br>
15.5 miles on TM today - Nice work out - 11 at the slow end of easy - 4.5 at the fast end of easy to almost current marathon pace with this big horse finishing hard to the barn. After reading a little about Ryan Hall's training - I think I will try a few more multi-pace runs.<br><br>
Although it was a good workout - I think It did not tear me down much and I should have a good long run tomorrow.<br><br>
Good running to all-

Flounder- i have a coach and i follow all her training plans to a T. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> Even though i think she is borderline insane sometimes.

 

[altoids]

Was that the race "boca raton" or the post-race "boca raton"? <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

 

[merigayle]

More like loop 5 boca raton as opposed to loop 8 boca raton slog

I don't know how you real runners put in those incredible miles!<br>
You guys rock. I'm always so impressed to read your daily running/fitness posts.<br><br><br>
I, OTOH, just did 6.4 of the slowest, ploddingest, flattest [bike trail], windiest, poopiest miles.<br><br><i>yes, I ran outdoors in the daylight</i><br><br>
big mistake<br><br>
rhetorical question:<br>
Why do I torture myself with these types of runs....WHY?<br>
I can't answer it.<br>
I just keep on keeping on. <img alt="icon_brilsmurf.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_brilsmurf.gif">

2 miles. Not good.

 

[JackDuggan]

10 miles, 9:15 pace<br><br>
tired, gloomy kinda of a day

 

[Flounder]

Grizzly - Steady - Steady - Keep a positive outlook - I am praying for you -<br><br>
merigayle - Good for you - I am uncoachable -<br><br>
I am and like to be unpredictable with my workouts. LAT could mean anything from 20 minutes at T-Pace to 5-1mile to 5mile-4mile-3-mile-2mile-1mile @ T latter depending how I feel when I get up or which way the wind is blowing or I may do that workout tomorrow or skip it all together this week. I tried to follow Jack Daniels plan where all i had to do is get his Q1 and Q2 workout each week and do a certain number of miles - It almost broke me.<br><br>
4.5 recovery miles at lunch on TM<br><br>
Good running to all -

Nothing today as much as I was hoping for it. I was back to work, but with so much sleep I got the past few days, I couldn't get to sleep till midnight. I wasn't going to the gym with only 4 hours of sleep under my belt.

Ugh. Not a good night for me. Not sure what caused it, but my lower back started hurting during the 3rd hill repeat, and it just got worse and worse as the run went on.<br><br>
Every strike of the right shoe made my back hurt.<br><br>
Winter just will not give up. Cold with NW winds and snow flurries while I was out there.<br><b>Run Segments<br>
