<p>Nice racing this weekend! Great work, folks!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD</strong>: Schedule? What's that? Okay, well, I haven't followed any specific training plan for a couple years. But I've gotten into a fairly regular routine: </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Monday</strong>: DW picks up DD from daycare, so I have time after work. I'll do either a long tempo run or a long hill run.</p>
<p><strong>Tuesday</strong>: I gotta pick up DD fairly early, so I have a limited amount of time. I do a short easy run.</p>
<p><strong>Wednesday</strong>: I pick up DD, but I can do so a little later. So I'll do either a tempo or hill run, whichever I didn't do on Monday.</p>
<p><strong>Thursday</strong>: Same as Tuesday. Some times I take the day off if I feel like I need it.</p>
<p><strong>Friday</strong>: Pretty much the same schedule as Wednesday. I have time for a decent run, but I never do too much, since the next day is the long run. <br><strong>Saturday</strong>: Long run in the morning</p>
<p><strong>Sunday</strong>: Either a day off or an easy run in the evening. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'll adjust the total volume of miles depending on how far out I am from a race. And certainly there can be oddball things that can alter this schedule. But for the most part, my life falls pretty well into this rut. And it works...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Soooo.... yesterday I did a short run, and tonight I'll do a long tempo run. <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p>Morning Gang -</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD: </strong> I have a paper copy of my schedule, printed with the whole 12 (or however many) weeks. I like seeing the whole thing blank at the beginning of a training cycle, then I cross them off as I do each workout and its full of x's by the end. I keep track of the specifics after I do the workout on runningahead.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got pilates done this morning and will get 6 - 8 miles in this afternoon in sun and 65! Woot!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They released the name and time of the guy who died after the MN marathon Saturday. He got 3:14:39, which was a BQ for his age (35). I looked him up on athlinks and his previous marathons were 3:38, 3:49 and 3:41. So it appears he was going for a BQ (at least just by looking at his time). He apparently collapsed right after crossing the finish line. So tragic! :-(</p>

<p>Morning, folks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The ankle is feeling tons better this morning. Still not good enough to run on, but maybe by Wednesday it will be ready to try on the treadmill. I have a small 10k event to participate in on Sat - and it's small enough that in the past 3 years, I've placed in my AG division. (2nd, 3rd and 3rd, I think.) I'll be bummed if I can't run by Saturday to try for the 4th year in a row!</p>
<p><br>
Bi/Tri/thigh/ab/core/butt work is on tap for this evening.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QoD;</strong> I have a set schedule, differing only in the number of miles run, depending on if I'm on a training schedule or not.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>M: Bi/Tri/thigh/ab/core/butt work</p>
<p>Tu: Run</p>
<p>Wed: Bi/Tri/thigh/ab/core/butt work AND a run If I'm doing speedwork at all, this is where it usually gets worked in. </p>
<p>Th: Run</p>
<p>Fri: Bi/Tri/thigh/ab/core/butt work</p>
<p>Sat: Run</p>
<p>Sun: LR. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sometimes M's Bi/Tri/thigh/ab/core/butt work gets added after Sun's LR, just so I can get an entire day off. Other times I swap the LR day, but find routines to be comforting to me, so I pretty much stick to the above, unless something funky comes into play. </p>

This is so sad. He's from here. I just saw him when I was volunteering at the Spring Classic. It makes no sense, he was such a fit guy. I just can't believe it. And he has three little kids. It is so so tragic.

<p>Bike/run/walk workout for me this morning. Little miss evil in the morning and pedometer day at dd's school tomorrow afternoon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Schedule. J and I agree on a basic training plan from the web, then make an elaborate spreadsheet that combines it with training, spin, etc. Then we adapt to life and schedule definite times for a few days to a week at a time. We get most of it done, although it's rarely exactly the way we planned. I'm still working on the summer plan. I need to decide if I'm rolling right into another half plan for the Indianapolis Women's Half on Sept 3, or if I will take a few weeks off and look for a later race. Next cycle will be based on the FIRST plan, I think.</p>

<p>T - track</p>
<p>W - Double with minimum of 12 miles for the day - General aerobic pace</p>
<p>Th - recovery - 4 miles or so</p>
<p>F - recovery - 3 miles or so</p>
<p>Saturday - some kind of longer w/o. Tempo or hills. 7-12 miles</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Trying to add in some recovery biking on the trainer and some other cross training.</p>

<p><strong>QOD:</strong> I use Hal Higdon's training plans and I plot them out on my Google Calendar, which is synced to my iPhone so an alert pops up every day telling me what I'm supposed to run. I don't have a set schedule for cross training - yoga, pilates, strength training - I just do it when I can. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I had my first Pilates Reformer class on Saturday. I'm starting to appreciate Pilates more and more, at least what it does for me. The matwork I'm still not as crazy about, but I do like the reformer stuff. And I'll keep doing the matwork too, just for the results. I'm just way more aware of my back and core these days. </p>

<p>good morning!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>i am sore from yesterday's race effort and loving it - woot! we did some serious walking yesterday and today for some active recovery action - still not sure if i will run today or not. we shall see.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>qod: as maria and mindi will tell you, lloyd sends very detailed schedules that i LOVE having to look at in front of me. i used to plan my life around that schedule - lol. these days, AK dictates what i run but she is now able to sit in the jogger for about 100 mins. i try to get in a longer run once a week and also one quality workout with at either interval or tempo pace but haven't been so lucky with that - it would really require that i do it on the DM b/c my other option is to do it with a jogging stroller! since i haven't been able to do as much quality work (i can recall ONE session up to date - snort!), i just try to finish my long runs fast as a substitute for quality work. heh.</p>

<p>Morning all! Have some much needed yoga on tap for tonight. Left piriformis is barking pretty loudly, both in Sat's race and yesterday, which means it's been much too long since I've been in the studio. I simply MUST get better at keeping up with yoga and rolling out the legs, etc. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Missy</strong> - the best sore there is! How did the knee feel during the race? BTW, just registered for the Fairfield HM! </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD</strong> - As Missy mentioned, Lloyd and I share a detailed Excel s/s in Google that lays out both short and long term goals, my training plan and workouts/paces. It gets filled in more and more as a particular goal race comes closer but overall I know what I'll be doing months out and can plan accordingly. I log all my workouts in Runningahead after wards. BTW, looks like Facebook changed something late last week, maybe on Thursday, and the feed from Runningahead is one of it's victims.</p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great runs this weekend! Missy, congrats on your half, nice to see you getting back into it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did the 5k lobster run with the girls in the Chariot yesterday. Finished 2nd in my age group with a 27:22. Just goes to show you how small the field was. : ) It was a neat run, though, and the kids enjoyed it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On saturday I ran the 10k route for our upcoming Fiddlers run. I wanted to make sure it wasn't too short or too long. It's all good. We'll have over 200 runners for that one, I'm sure. I also wanted to get a good feel for where I'll put the water stops on course.</p>

<p>unplanned slow morning for me - the coffee was too tasty, the chair too comfy, etc, etc - but what the hell? The temp was 37F this morning. It's May 16! I'll switch some things around and get my scheduled miles in this evening.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD</strong>: plan my own stuff using Daniels Running Formula and put it on a giant laminated monthly calendar that's displayed prominently in the upstairs hallway. Will try to get a pic later.</p>

I was wondering about that. It seemed as though my last couple runs that I logged into RunningAhead never made it to FB. I'm glad I'm not the only one...<br>

<p>Wow, nobody has posted in 6 hours??</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well, I had a nice tempo run. I tried to make each mile faster than the previous one. My splits: 9:02, 8:42, 8:19, 7:40, 7:31, 7:26. I originally wanted to do a 7th mile, but I didn't think I could be faster than 7:26. So I said the hell with it, did a half mile cooldown, and settled for 6.5 miles at an avg 8:13 pace...</p>

<p>Ha.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD: </strong> As Marier and Missy suggested, I am used to an excel spreadsheet. And that is how I have rolled since I started training for a marathon in 2007. I used to do it like <strong>Cindi</strong> - where I'd print it out and highlight, etc. But now I track it daily on the computer. Heh. But I am in full slacker mode. No schedule = less than 10 miles in the last 2 weeks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mud run was awesome. And I am still pumped I nailed those monkey bars. Oooh weeee are my arms/chest sore though today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know I posted these pics on Facebook already, but I have to post again for you peeps. Observations: Pic 1: wish I looked like half the runner DS#1 does. Look at that stride! And he SCHOOLED his dad!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pic 2: Speaking of dad, Heh, DH frickin' rocks. </p>

<p>Pic 3: Yeah, and so does DS #2. Can't believe that little dude ran 4.6 miles and 16 obstacles with hardly a pause!!! He just turned 8 in March.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Brag: DS#1 won his age group (12 and under). He did this stopping to wait for us multiple times. DS#2 was #4. Rock on little RILers!!</p>

<p>Oooh - and our practice 5K is tomorrow for GOTR! Woot! I am a little freaked out because I am SO busy at work. But literally it is one of my favorite days of the year. And my boys are pumped too. Although James was supah upset tonight b/c boys on his soccer team were teasing him for running with GOTR. I told him they suck, it's not nice and he should do what he wants. He wants to run with us. </p>

<p><strong>QOD: </strong> As Marier and Missy suggested, I am used to an excel spreadsheet. And that is how I have rolled since I started training for a marathon in 2007. I used to do it like <strong>Cindi</strong> - where I'd print it out and highlight, etc. But now I track it daily on the computer. Heh. But I am in full slacker mode. No schedule = less than 10 miles in the last 2 weeks.</p>

<p>Mud run was awesome. And I am still pumped I nailed those monkey bars. Oooh weeee are my arms/chest sore though today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know I posted these pics on Facebook already, but I have to post again for you peeps. Observations: Pic 1: wish I looked like half the runner DS#1 does. Look at that stride! And he SCHOOLED his dad!</p>
