Well it's blowing and raining and just plain ugly out, so I knew that I was doomed to the dreadmill.... uggg! I was going to keep it light today maybe not 2 miles light, but I always go EXTRA light when I'm running on the treadmill. After the torture of that I did some leg work with some squats, lunges and a some abs. to make up for the wimpy run. Legs feel pretty good today after the long run yesterday, they were pretty tired last night, more so than usual. I think that is because of the new shoes just not as supportive as my others, but overall no complaints. Great sleep last night couldn't have hurt either!!! Happy weekend!

For my own info. to plan Next week I'm planning on doing a few 6 and then my regular 5's with a long run on Friday or Sat. the week of Painters probably 6,5,4,3,2 and then the half on Sat. unless anyone has any other suggestions that would be more beneficial for me I'll try to stick to something close to that!

Michelle, good plan for the taper. I would suggest a few striders on a couple of those days. Good luck at the race, you wil do great, be brave, be strong, you are trained and ready.

Nice mileage this week- even with your busy life (holidays, daughter moving out- etc) You are STRONG! Good job on the toning too. So you got new shoes? What kind? I plan on getting some soon, still deciding which ones... (oh yeah, and sorry- no great tapering/training advice here, I'll leave that to the pros!)

Tom helped me decide how to taper for Painter's. Here is what I have planned. Mon. 5, Tues. 5, Wed. 2-3, Thur. 4, Fri. 0, Sat. Race day. I'm not sure if that is what everyone would do, but if it works for Tom it works for me. I still don't know what is going on with my friend. Hopefully I will know this week and I will let you know. I would like to run with you and Lybi, but not quite sure I could keep up with you. I'm looking forward to meeting you in person!

After Tom read my comment he said I could probably do a bit less than four on Thurs.

From Brent on Mon, Jan 07, 2008 at 15:17:02

Michelle, any chance of taking the shoes back if you don't really like them? Some stores will take them back for exchange. I like you taper plan, I did not see ice cream as part of the plan? You can ice injuries from the inside out!
