March 31 - April 5

Monday: It was sunny outside.  I'd stayed off my leg both Saturday and Sunday.  I could still feel a little something, but it felt a bit better.
Tried to run... got half a mile and it cramped up and locked.  I ended up walking home, trying to run.  I know 'sore' muscles.  This isn't it.  It is pulled!
Frustrated because I didn't have enough time at that point to get to the gym, get a decent workout in, and be home for the kids.  Couldn't really jump around and lifting/xtraining just wasn't cutting it!  Sometimes I just need to move!!!  I'll stay off my leg as much as I can.  I'll bike, swim and row this week.
Not stressed about the half marathon... already ran that.  I am, however anxious about getting my miles up for the June marathon.  I'll stick with it... I just need my leg to recover!

Tuesday: 2400 meter swim (did 1400 around 30 minutes.  want to start timing myself)
bike - 12 miles @ 30 minutes.  did hill intervals.

Wednesday: yogalates class - first time trying this.  it didn't feel all that challenging, but my shoulders are sore this morning.  it was good to try something new.  i'd like to take a real yoga class.
cycled 20 minutes easy cardio, rowed 15 minutes.  felt tired...

Thursday: rest, sore and tired

Friday: swim 2300 meters, bike 30 min

Saturday:  I have been such a good girl.  I've stayed off my leg for the whole week!  I was really hoping to run 16 miles today.  That is where I want to be with my marathon training.  BUT, I didn't know if I could even go a mile, so I had no expectations...  I went on the treadmill, it was cold, windy, and raining...
As I ran, pain free I felt a little glimmer of hope, oh how I love to run.  I made it all of 1 mile before the pull was back.  It took my breath away for a minute, but I continued to run.  I felt EVERY. SINGLE. STEP.  And it hurt!  Buuuuut I still went 7 miles.  It was all I could do to finish that last .25.
I was going to head over to swim, to get more time up, but didn't.
And, for the rest of the day I had a hard time walking.  My leg reminded me it is not better!

March 10-15

Monday - 30 minutes aerobics and xtrain.  Was going to run just before dance, but the boys were playing in the basement.  I went this route instead.  Werked my legs!
Ballet

Tuesday - It was gorgeous today!  I wore shorts outside!  I went back and looked through my photos from last year.  I didn't get into shorts until the end of March.  Guess I can't complain.
Did 6 miles.  As I went out, had no plan... as I ran decided to push a couple of miles up.  Did that for 4 and 5.  6 was a cool down.
Felt SO good to be outside.  I was sore from the day before.  Sort of wished I felt good enough to run my 13 today.

Wednesday - crazy blizzard.  we all stayed home.  i ate way too much!

Thursday - 5 hill workout on tml all at 8 pace (7.5)
1 mile @ 2 incline, 800 @ 3, 800@ 4, 400 at 4-8, back to 4 incline for 1 mile, last mile @ 2.

Friday - Matt came home early so I got to go outside to run!  Yea!  It wasn't warm, but it was good to be out!

Saturday - nothing.  Was supposed to run 13, but I had a shoot to get ready for in the morning.  My plan was to run in the afternoon, but when I came home, was hungry, then have to wait for a little digestion... realized I had to plan my lesson, then date night... just got past me!  I'll amp up my miles next week.

Ran 4 tempo @ 2 incline
First mile 8 pace

Half mile 8 pace, finish 7.5... funny after running tempo I just want it to be over!  No need to slow it back down right?

February 24 - March 1

Monday: 6 miles outside (48:02).  windy and cold!  my slower miles were running into the wind.  it felt good to be outside though, and for a moment I could feel the sun on my face!
Ballet

Tuesday: 4 miles tempo - treadmill, squats, situps, then swim 650 meters (13 laps *50).
Ran 1 mile @ 8 min, then 2 @ 7:30, 800 @ 8, finished 800 @ 7:30 pace.
Maybe I should swim first on Tuesday's, the lanes were crazy.  But, I ended up talking to a nice old man.  When I got going again my feet started cramping, my arches have been cramping like crazy lately in dance!  I called it quits!  Good enough for today!

Wednesday: rest... I intended to run, but the day got away from me.  I wanted to swim only on my 'rest' day, but not this week.

Thursday: 3 easy treadmill @ 8/min.
Swim 1600 meters... that's a mile!  Swam next to a speed demon who wasn't even using his legs!  He did his whole workout with a foam thing between them and swam with his arms only!  Strong.

Friday: Nothing!  I really need to get my workout done early if I have other things during the day... it usually doesn't get done if I wait until later!

Saturday: 8 outside.  After our long stake rehearsal the sun had gone back behind the clouds, but it still felt great to get outside for a run.  Haven't gone 8 for a while.  Felt strong the first 4.  My posture was good, kept good pace, felt light.  Mile 4 always seems to be a hump for me.  Once I can get past it I'm ok, although my joints all felt tight the last few miles.  I did get a good stretch in.
