3:25, 3:15, sub 3:00 marathon? The sky's the limit! I want to see how fast I can get! :) 

Personal:

I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races.

AM: 1.5 h speed bike. 30 min wu, then 7x3 mins at 80-93% max hr, with 3 min recoveries, 15 min cd. This felt good...like 800m repeats good. :)

My 0.5 mile walk to work today with no boot felt like any old normal day!! First longer walk that felt like that since April!! :) T-10 days until first run!! 

PM: 82 mins waterjogging. 20 min wu, 2x[10x1:30 min hard w 30 sec recovery] 2 min easy between sets, then 20 min cd. It's so awesome to build from 2 sets of 5 repeats to 2 sets of 10 repeats. I've come a long way! The pool felt so refreshing this evening, and then my legs were so fatigued once I got out of the pool. I think everyone should try this because that sensation is amazing!

Your attitude truly inspires me on a daily basis. Thank you for being you.

Getting close! If you are interested the Pfitzinger stress fracture comeback schedule worked well for me. I followed it the first month than kinda jumped back into training.

Thanks, ladies!! Your encouragement helps me maintain a positive outlook. :)

April, I found the Pfitzinger schedule. Thanks a lot!! It helps to know it worked well for you. Did you try any anti-gravity treadmill running? I've been cleared to add that next week but don't know how to add that and add the Pfitzinger regular running?
