[mrscoby78]

<p>1.  10k race 3/12 - run hard, don't give up when it hurts - I'd like to PR, but I don't know that I'm there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2.  10 mile race 3/26 - run under 1:25</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3.  Get that swim in once a week.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4.  Stay under 150# and start inching toward 145#</p>

 

[niemsco]

<p>1. I want to start running by the 3rd week in March</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2. Ride outsides on Saturday (20s and above)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3. Got to 3-4 team practices a week</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4. Get faster swimming and biking.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5. Hit 135-139 lbs.</p>

 

[Alaska Mike]

<p>March goals:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Final 7 weeks until Boston.  Focus on the run while still getting some decent bike work in, because IMLP isn't far behind.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've got a half-marathon tune-up race on March 27th and going sub 1:15 there would give me confidence that I can hit 2:35 at Boston.  That's going hurt a bit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Continue to get my weight down, hopefully below 150 so I'm only 10 lbs over my racing weight.  Lots of core and upper body work this month, I've been neglecting it this off-season.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>1.  Keep the focus on running while paying close attention to the little aches and being smart & conservative about injury risks.</p>
<p>     -  Half M on March 20:  Likely to race hard.  Based on the type of workouts I have been doing, I don't expect PR.  My focus has been 'how to narrow the gap b/w half vs. full M pace'.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2.  Go hard and not DQ (100IM) at the swim meet this Sunday.  I already have started seening solid improvements on the short effort (50~100m) thanks to the techniques taught by Sheila T a few weeks ago but can't sustain it for a longer swim.  Will see how 50,100, 200, and 400yd free go.  I will be happy to finish 100IM sub 2:00.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3.  Try to squeeze 20-30min. strength workout at least 2x/wk.  I believe these have made big differences to keep me injury-free for the last two years and I need them even more with higher mileage. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>4.  Continue to improve eating habits.  I really want to get down to <110. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not a fitness goal, but would love to take my new Stumpjumper to a trail!!!  She looks pretty lonely and sad staying upside down in the middle of Liv. room for almost 2 months now.    </p>

Man I already got 1-4 down, that's a record!  Just need to hit 5 now.  </p>
<p> </p>

 

[Swimmerbee]

<p>well the goal has been to adapt to a treatment that is impacting my whole body. I'm adapting, march brings an escalation to add pt.  Since the treatment is innovative research talking the PT into it may be the challenge.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>otherwise, get a bit more consistent with swim practice (more than a mile or two 2-4 days/week), let it go in favor of the treatment.  I'm also able to run again so continue to build that, its been pretty casual so far.  I plan to continue to be casual until I get my body used to itself. I'm not ready to try to hold myself to a schedule but it does make me feel a bit crazy.</p>

Yes, yes and yes.  Especially #4.</p>
