Looks like a killer workout. I'm curious if you take a break between the up and down or just use the down as a break? I know that I need to do some hill work in the near future and I've been told I need to work on my downhill running as well as my uphill running.

Good running! Are you planing any more races this year?

From Scott on Thu, Dec 04, 2008 at 15:53:13

Thanks Barry. My biggest issue lately is that I've been sick. I've had a bad cold and have really been weighing the pros/cons of running. I took yesterday off, and that didn't seem to make a difference one way or the other. My run today was pretty difficult, and I don't know if it was a good thing to do or not. I don't feel any worse, right now, for doing it. I have heard that exercise can stimulate your body to recover from illness quicker. All in moderation, I'm sure.

The only race I have on the calendar is a marathon next May. I live in Colorado and I think you're in a similar climate (Idaho?). For me, it's been tough to simply get motivated to run in this weather, let alone prep. for a race. I think after the first of the year, I'd like to line some pre-races up.

How about you?

From Barry on Thu, Dec 04, 2008 at 19:52:37

I have been sick lately also and let me tell you that is really sucks. Some thing that I use to help me stay motivated is I like the feeling of loosing weight and I try to keep a goal in front of me like races or even just a daily goal. When I think about the week ahead of me I get stressed out, but if I take it one day at a time I don't. And even the short time goal helps. For example I would like to run a 1:28 half marathon. So I did some research and found out what I needed to do to reach that goal and I am now doing it. Also, if you are unsure what kind of running schedule you want runners world has some really good workouts for runners. Here is the web site. http://www.runnersworld.com/cda/smartcoach/0,7148,s6-238-277-278-0-0-0-0,00.html?starf=&lrdy=0&slen=16&trainstart=ds1228781059410&startf=checkforward&hour=0&mins=0&secs=0&rlen=fivk&rdst=fivk&mpwe=11&diff=mod So the best thing to do is take it one day at a time and enjoy it, also running with music helps. I am not sure if you like treadmills or not, but what is what I run on in the winter.

I am also planning on running a half marathon in March. I hope this helps.
