  1. FIT
    great Home Weights 00:30

    Quick "lifting heavy things" sesh this morning (3x everything) while watching the news...
    12 renegade rows each side 10 lbs
    12 crunch w/weight 10 lbs
    20 donkey kicks
    15 press up, chest cu... read more

  2. RUN
    great Neighborhood Loop 4 mi 00:43 10:45 pace

    Ran the first 5k slow and EZ with Joel and then ran the last .9 between 8:45-9:30 min/miles. Nice morning for a run!

  3. VELO
    great L7,8,9,10 with sprint at the end 9.05 mi 00:30 18.1mph pace

    Hills 7-10 (of ascending difficulty) and then a all out high cadence low resistance sprint at the end. I'm much better at hills...

  4. FIT
    great Pilates class 00:50

    Woo hoo morning "pain lattes", as Joel has nicknamed it for me.

  5. RUN
    great 5 Miles EZ 5.4 mi 00:55 10:11 pace

    It was one of those great runs where I didn't want to stop, I could have run 5 more. Overcast, perfect temp of ~60, humid... loved it. Apparently what I was doing was working, or at least that's ... read more

  6. FIT
    great Recovery Workout 1.75 mi 00:25 14:17 pace

    The bad part about Sunday races is I'm not ready for Monday sprints. Mellow elliptical + crunchtime core workout.

  7. RUN
    great 3M Half with Joel! 13.25 mi 02:27 11:05 pace

    It was a great morning for a run with my Joel! :) I'm super happy to have run his first half with him, and we have another in 3 weeks!

  8. swim
    great Half IM Swim 2000 yd 00:43 37:50 pace

    Excited to get a longer swim in. This is about 100 yd less than the swim section of the half ironman (if I would have calculated properly, I would have done 5 more laps...). Breaststroke warmup, ... read more

  9. RUN
    good Progressive 5k 3.1 mi 00:30 09:35 pace

    First 2 miles I went comfortable, 1.1 I tried to haul arse a little more. New kicks make me feel (sorta) speedy though I don't think they're ready for primetime yet. This was also a test of my ge... read more

  10. FIT
    great Pilates Class 00:50

    This was a pretty fantastic way to wake up today. Definitely feel a little sore!

  11. #dailymission What's the best prize you ever won at a race (earned or by chance)? I won my age group at a 5k, and got a bottle of wine. Haven't drank it yet... maybe with the next time I podium? :)

  12. VELO
    great Hills L7,8,9,10 12.4 mi 00:40 18.6mph pace

    10 mins each level (hills 7, 8, 9, 10). Working on getting my speed back. 19 mph, I'm coming for you...

  13. RUN
    good Breaking In The New Kicks 3.6 mi 00:37 10:16 pace

    Ran slow on brand new shoes, didn't want to hurt my feet, but threw in some speedy 0.1 mile strides in there.

  14. RUN
    good 1 mi 00:14:00 14:00 pace

    8 Miles on plan today but Joel's ankle started to hurt so we called it and walked home. Nothing you can do a week out from a race pushing through pain but injure yourself so it's the right call IMO.

  15. RUN
    good Gorilla run 3 mi 00:31 10:20 pace

    Ran with Joel, his best 5k pace ever... even more amazing because it was in a full Gorilla suit! Fun race!

  16. #dailymission What was your favorite race of 2011? I did a lot of them, but I'd have to say the Kerrville Sprint Tri in October. I actually trained really hard for 3 months and didn't race to foc... read more

  17. RUN
    good Mill Miles 5 mi 00:50 10:00 pace

    Wanted to get up in the morning and do this outside but my dream about it being my birthday and having a wedding themed karaoke party (?) and my warm bed won. Fairly uneventful. Need to work more... read more

  18. VELO
    great Hills 7, 8, 9, 10 13.85 mi 00:45 18.5mph pace

    Next week, the goal is at least 14 miles in 45. Go go power quads!

  19. RUN
    good Sprints 3 mi 00:30 10:00 pace

    My program said 10x400, Joel's said 4x800. I decided 400s sounded better and just did as many as I had time for before crunchtime class.

  20. RUN
    great Magic 8 Ball Run 12.1 mi 02:22 11:44 pace

    Magic 8 ball says: 13.1. When it comes down to it, I may or may not be physically ready to run a marathon, but I *know* I am not mentally ready. I made peace with it around mile 8. While I'm a l... read more

      I think you have made a good decision, but remember...you can always do a spring or fall marathon if training goes well. Plenty of time for marathons.

      Yeah, the more I think about it, the better I feel. I don't just want to limp across the finish line, I really want to rock it. I'm not there yet. I will be there eventually though. When's your half? Looks like you've been really rocking your training...

      Smart decision, I agree with you making a decision that you feel comfortable with. Like Staci said, there is plenty of time for a marathon. Nice long run today!

      My half is on the 29th...I feel ready, but since it is my 1st...I am nervous. We'll see how it goes, but yeah...I've been running well for a few months. Feeling excited!
