Those of you who are training and racing - let's hear your reports.
Those of you who are just aimlessly running (like me) - let's hear your most memorable runs of the week.
I'm re-learning that with spring flowers come . . . gnats. Seems as though every run this week, I've come home with dead gnats splatted over my face and neck. Quite lovely!
My most emorable run of the week: sprinting through the airport in skirt and sandals trying to make my gate:)!!
Still taking it easy after Boston....the sprint through the airport was the fastest thing I've done in two weeks!!!
Hope everyone is doing some great training!!
Hi Humbled, when I used to live in Tennessee that would happen all the time -- just don't open your mouth at the wrong time!
Hope you are feeling ok ...
I had a tough week, running wise. I have a race (half-marathon) in two weeks, up to now I have been feeling great - mileage in the mid to high 50's for 8 weeks (I am 45 and been running for 4 years, this is my highest mileage I have done - with higher intensity runs for 2 to 3 days/week). All of a sudden my legs are dead, I drag myself through runs and am feeling really worn out. I had a 3-5 mile tempo run on Wednesday that I only drug myself through 4 miles of - and felt horrible. Still managed to eek out 52 miles, but not feeling very encouraged right now.
Good news was I did do a hilly 14 mile run today on the grass, felt better at the beginning than I have all week. Pretty bummed though, I am thinking of bagging the race (I would have to travel to it). Trying keep focused on recovery and and eating well. I have a VO2 max workout this week, and depending on how that goes I will decide ...
Hope to hear some more encouraging training/racing weeks from some of you other ladies!!
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
