November CRUSHERS (Page 36)

Good luck on the half marathon!!!!

I hope to be doing my first on March 6 as long as my feet start cooperating. Taking the new socks for a spin tomorrow.

12 miles in the books. Last long run before the race - took it easy and it felt easy - about 30 sec per mile slower than last week but I got it done. I told hubby there were no races today - it was all about getting to next week. Wha hhoo...

and an extra benefit - headache is FINALLY gone.

Afternoon Crushers!

Sorry Ive been absent for a few days, and neglecting my training also for once. It was my husbands 40th and we had an awesome weekend away with friends, food and the beach
Back to it this morning though.

Judi - hurray hurray hurray - great news to be running again!

Yanti - sorry you are feeling so terrible, get better soon!

Stacie - great running, I'm sure your half mary will go amazingly well!

Beach...aaahhhh, well that weather will be back here in about 7 months

16 mi run today but no workouts yesterday

struggling with consistency this month

That is great!

It was gorgeous. I guess the downside is that now I have to work all week when its still beautiful beach weather outside....

Think I will postpone the next run until Wednesday, a little tight tonight and I iced it to be safe.

Thanks I needed that. I altered the training plan I was using - it is Hal Higdon's and I was only to go 10 miles.  I altered it to go to 12 if I could handle it just so I knew I had run most of the distance before. For me in my head I can grunt it out for 1.1 more miles, not sure if I could convince myself to grunt out 3.1 more.  I haven't had any problems laying light during the week with a long run on the weekends so I don't think it will hurt me next weekend.  This week is 3 on tues and 3 on thurs depending on how it goes - they may be run/walks just to keep the legs moving.  Feeling better this afternoon - honestly I think it was the after affects of being on the boat yesterday - it was rocky so I didn't eat or drink much - to the effect of 1/2 a sandwich, 2 granola bars and 2 sodas between 5am and 4pm. I ate a normal dinner but I think the damage had been done by there. I get really bad headaches if I get dehydrated kind of a kick in the pants to say "hey lady - water would be nice"... Combined with getting up at 145am to drive to the lake and not getting in bed until after 10 the night before and last night.

So I drank up today - ate normal and pretty healthy and feel 100% better this evening. The nap this morning and the eating is what I think caused it. One of these days I will learn.

Thanks - I will have to cheer you on along the way.  The rep at the local shoe shop told me to get my shoes 1/2 size bigger for the longer runs to avoid blisters and losing my toe nails. So I did back in August and I have lost a second toenail with a 3rd threatening and still get blisters on the tops of my toes so I am not sure. I think my feet will enjoy not running much next week if at all.  Hope the shoes work - my blisters never pop - I seem to have a thing with getting the blisters under the edge of my toenails.

Congrats - I have one that I love in the cold here (that and I live with hills on both sides of me for miles). I have a goal of 4 uses after the 1/2 to get friendly with it again.

Thanks - for the old saying "from your mouth to god's ears" )

Sorry to hear that but hopefully being smart will keep it healthy... Fingers crossed for another good run on Wednesday.

Probably. I feel MUCH better today, so that's probably what it was. Still going to take it easy though.

Here's the spreadsheet again.

Awesome! I'm a third of the way through my goals, and it's only halfway through the month!

Morning Crushers, off to work I go, run and bike tonight for me

Hey hey!

Hey everyone! Another coke free day but thanks to the healing foot I am behind 2 runs. It's healed over enough now that I'm going to try out my new socks with a short run this morning.

I'm going to change my runs from 12 to 10 since missing the two was a healing issue.

Oooh! Glad your foot is better.

Monday.....ugh.....looking forward to the weekend already!!

Me too! I really missed my piglets this weekend!

Then again, I didn't have to work today.

You and me both!

I am SO with you on this, Judi!!
