Good Morning Christa

I had a question for you. So how many days/week do you run? I've been trying to slowly boost my weekly mileage from to 30 miles. I run 4 days/week and x-train 2 days/week. I tell you it's tough getting 30 miles in on 4 days/week. It will get easier as my LR goes up in distance, but I was just wondering how many days/week you run.

So do you have any marathon plans for this year yet? I know you're not doing Grandfather's Mountain or Disney. Will you be running a marathon this year?

Have a great day, hope DD is feeling better.

Tuesday (7/10)
OK I am posting my WO even though I thought about not posting it b/c it was so BAAAAAD!
1st mistake was going out at 1300! It was so hot outside that my shoes were sticking to the pavement...
2nd mistake was WO in my HILLY neighborhood!
3rd, NO SHADE!
so I rethought my goals...so I would not die!

Here it is (don't laugh):
Run: 1.1 miles in 9:27
BIke: 2.595 miles in 11:31
Run: 1.1 miles in 10:42
Bike: 2.762 miles in 14.34

I did not push at all but quit b/c I started getting a headache. I just reread my RW from Aug 2006. It talked about overheating so I am a little paranoid right now.

Totals for the day so far is:
2.2 miles running
5.347 miles biking
WAS IT EVEN WORTH IT?

OK! I just ave up my running and biking miles to date...from the time I started this journal in Feburary.

I am a little surprised at the results.

Biking: 468.1 Miles
Running: 426.2 miles

I thought I ran more than I biked, but I really have been adding on the biking mileage the past few months.

These totals do not include WDW 07 or my 15 mile Shirt run. I did those b/4 starting the journal.

Ran 4 Thursday

Biked Friday...got a flat at mile 5 and had to walk back a few miles until DH picked me up. Could not find the place where it was going flat so took it into the shop...it was right at the valve. They changed the tubing for me.

Ran today....
5.5 at a 10 MPM with friends
9.8 at an 8:30 by myself.

May venture out to ride again tomorrow but we will see. Sundays are very tiring for me.

Sunday -
Biked 18 today from my MILs house to mine.

 

[gatorphipps]

Took a 2 mile walk with 9, 7, and 2 JRTs! To say the least, it was CRAZY! But fun.
May run when DH gets home!

DH has started running again. Very excited about this. He did 2 miles this morning with 1 of the JRTs. The other one will not run. He is older and lazy.

Did run yesterday (Mon) after dinner. It was really neat...I could see the rain coming as I topped one of the hills in my neighborhood....then I got to run in the rain.
4.2 miles...not sure of the time b/c I did not take my watch.

Did a show this morning and have rehearsal tonight. Not sure if I will get anything in today. Not that the show was not xtraining enough.

 

[gatorphipps]

Ran 10 today (Wednesday) in 1.27...8.45 MPM!
It was HOT and I ran out of water with 1.6 miles to go! but I made it.

Hi Christa- just wanted to see how you're doing out there. We haven't heard from you in a while. I got in 29.22 miles last week. I was happy with that. I'm getting close to my 30 mile/week goal. Hope all is well with your very busy life.

Havent posted in a while, but still training!
Ran 4.8 miles monday
biked almost 11 today.

May run again tonight while DD9 is at Soccer practice. Everyone there already thinks I am nuts b/c I show up after a run or ride and stink as bad as the kids practicing.

After a 60 mile ride Saturday, (at soccer practice) someone asked me if my CO2 cartrage (sp?) was an inhailer (SP? again). I tried to explain, but when I was talking about tubes and tire levers...they just tuned out.
