Swim-Mom: Aw shucks, my training program isn't anything special. (It mayb e weird, b/c I don't know anyone who's tried it....) On the contrary, I think we all do multiple training programs. We add strength training days to our WOs, or follow running with XT. We're all multi-tasking running machines!
Yay for you for doing the whole 5K--it sounds like your speed has kicked up a little? I'm sorry to hear about your neck problems, and I've never been one to like the MRI. I don't hate it, but who really grooves on visiting the doctor when they could be out...running? (Who just said that?
) Anyway, I hope there's good news after your appointment, and that you feel better, because I wouldn't want you to miss out on wearing all those cute little bras.
Erika: A HUGE WOO HOO FOR YOU! Tenure--that's incredibly good news. And what a weight off your shoulders. Geez, I'll even bet you would have been able to run an HOUR after hearing that news.
And your LR sound just intense enough for you at this point. Am I reading your post correctly that you're running 5x a week, mixing in distance & speed work? Already? Wow, you are determined. DH does some similar speed work & it's some of his best, if most daunting, runs. Good for you!
Kim: I hope you're doing well.
Fitswimmer, Blizzard/Carol, Raenstoirm, Seattle Girl, Casey, Buzz, and anyone else I may have missed: I hope your C25K journey is moving along smoothly, that you are feeling healthy & strong, and that are happy!
As for me: I needed to flip my Wednesday/Thursday schedule around this week (and will need to switch Friday/Saturday next week, meh. So much for consistency). So I did my run today--it wasn't as magical as Monday's, but was still fairly strong. And then I went out & got fitted for my new pair of shoes. I got to practice my runway model walk, complete with my jeans rolled up, and run on a TM cleverly positioned by the storefront window. My salesperson also gave me some tips for changing my form, things that I've been working on with Chi Running, and so it was nice to get the validation of my self-assessment.
My new shoes feel heavenly & I can't wait to take them out for a spin. I'll do some light walking with them tomorrow & then run & RW 6 miles Saturday. If you've never been fitted for shoes by a running specialist, I highly recommend you do so. They'll examine your feet, your walk, your running style & help you choose shoes you need.
Happy Easter and/or Spring, everyone!
