Swam 900 m, and then changed and ran 1.25 miles outside. 18F and a bit of snow on the ground! The running streak continues!

Dale, what is the significance of 117 miles?

Marathon peak month?

since I've been doing triathlon over the last 3 years, my running volume has dwindled...my peak month since I stopped 'running' has been 116 miles in a month and I want to beat it selfish, but I need help for motivation

Sounds like a good goal!  I'll be following along, but I won't be running 117 miles....that would be too big of a jump for me, but I hope to be there soon.  I'm sitting at right about 20 miles/week.

I think it's time for some new shoes....one of my pairs needs to be retired.  Will be going to the LRS this weekend to see what I can find.  Looking for something with a little more cushion, but nothing crazy (i.e. no Hokas -- tried them and didn't care for them).

And is it time for a new 2 week weakness?

I think this two week is nutrition. Swimming and running are going pretty well, so I'd better eat better to support them!

Laying off cookies and extra chips/unhealthy snacks. Eat better, smarter.

Nancy, I'm impressed with your consistency and the fact that you can go from a swim workout to running outside in a VT winter. That requires some HTFU for sure.  Nice!

Thats a brave goal for a fortnight that includes Christmas Day! Good on you.

Mine for the next 2 weeks is to stick to my training plan, which means training 6 days a week.

Got a run in today! Didn't actually have to dadge any snowplows but I was very careful. We got about 6 inches of snow, the roads were slippery.


Here is the pic of the road I was running:

I had a great race!!!! The course was SO tough. About 2-3 minutes off PR type of course. It was very, very competitive so I feel pretty good about being something like the 200th fastest club xc unner in the nation ill certainly give more details later as I am terribly hungover. Got some fun shenanigans to share. We may or may not have stolen a brew cycle (look it up) and ridden it through the awards banquet...

That's my teammate/friend Joe in the orange on the left who eventually went on to win the whole thing! Also, this photo is VERY telling of the course. I'll be 20-25 people DNFed in each individual race due to the conditions.

Noticed who some of your teammates were. Mike Sayenko was actually on a team as part of another site I was on before. Incredible speed. Wasn't able to follow as much as he had some really persistent injuries during that time. Just would not go away. Mostly ended up riding a bunch in the hopes of maintaining some fitness. Was able to pull things together for that 2:14 in the Chicago marathon, which I actually got to see with a few of the fast guys running there. Has he been able to run more consistently again?

It went well.  I ran a 1:32 like I did in september, but I'll take it considering the cold I had recently.  I held with the "runner" triathletes for the first 10k and attacked some just to keep it interesting.  I'm a lot closer to them now than I have been.  Next season should be interesting.

oh wow, yeah, small world! He just ran a 1:03 HM on 6 weeks training. But considers himself semi retired but I don't know the details. I just happened to hear him say that on the bus.

Jan. 11.  Got two more long runs before taper, 2:50 (about 21 miles) and 3:00 (about 23).

It sounds like you have a very common condition that many runners and triathletes experience called patello-femoral pain syndrome. We have seen that runners with core weakness experience this.

Work your weakness. In the sport of triathlon, most coaches agree that you should spend the most time working on your weakest of the three sports. For many of you this will be swimming!
