Short-Term Running Goals: PR 1/2 marathon AGAIN
Long-Term Running Goals: Break 2:46 in Boston! Personal:
I used to run for BYU, but only after trying out three times and finally walking on, so I was never a star. However, it was wonderful to run with great people and under Coach Shane. When you run with fast people, you can't help to improve! I graduated BYU in 1998, and didn't run a race until 2002, after having my second child. My hiatus and other crazy life commitments have made my competitive running suffer, but the last couple of years I have tried to get back into it the best I can. I have been married since 1996, to Paul Lowry, who is a runner himself. I have three boys (my three rascals), ages 12, 10, and 8. After a great 2008 season, I was injured and eventually diagnosed and cross-diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, a type of arthritis disease, which precludes running for all but the most stubborn. So I am on medications, trying to stay healthy, and seeing my PT often. And running! Now beating the streets in Hong Kong. |

| 1 hour on elliptical, then did 40 minutes on an adjustable motion machine, can be more like an elliptical or a stairmaster, it is much more bouncy than the other elliptical, but I think it will work well on my next day's hard workout (and it did work well). PM: core workout |

| Sorry! Will need to update the last week. Still not running- going to doc in a couple of minutes for review of MRI. AM: 31 min warm up on elliptical (actually an adjustable motion machine- precor, orange edges), then 16 min/ 12 min/ 8 min/ 4 min fartlek ladder with 2 min slow in between. Warm up is 12-13 calories per minute, fast bits tried to keep above 17 cal/sec, started at level 15 then moved to level 16 in the first rep, then level 16 for second, level 17 for third, level 18 for fourth. Felt good! Wistfully looking at treadmill next to me occasionally. Will never call it a dreadmill again. (who am I kidding, of course I will!). |

40 min elliptical, then stretched, then 30 min on the TM, started really slow and never got fast (7.3). Right leg felt weird but no pain. A bit of tightness on the top ham attachment. But no pain! So tomorrow schedule is 20-24 400m at 82, 200m recovery, so I will do 90 sec on/ 90 sec off in the pool.
My tentative plan is to run 40 min really easy on the TM Thursday night, cross train Friday, and then run 20k Saturday, this is all assuming no pain. Then do next week's workouts on the road (Tuesday fartlek) and on the track (Thursday 1,000m but not very fast, HM-M pace), then do a 32k easy run next Saturday, then do the Standard Chartered Marathon 8 days later (hard workout pace, not racing). I hope this all works out. The real goal is PR in Boston April 15th, but I need to get back on track. Does this sound like a good plan for this week and in general?

PT appt in the AM. 12:30-2:30, did a pool run. I was going to do 90 sec on/ 90 sec off (to mimic a 20-24 400m workout) but I was concerned about all the start and stop and the 90 seconds would have to be pretty fast so the transition would be more intense. So I thought I would play it safer and do a 10 x 4 min on/ 2 min off, this cuts down the transitions and they also aren't as jolting. I treated each 4 min block as if they were the last 10k in the Standard Chartered marathon. This actually makes a lot of sense because pool running with longer segments (longer than a minute or two) is alot like trying to keep strong at the end of a marathon. It is hard to stay focused, you have to keep up effort though measurement makes less sense. It was actually fun visualizing the marathon and I hope hope hope I get to do it. PM: core workout 8pm: 40 min jog on treadmill. Kept pace at 7.3. It felt slow but I told myself that my goal was to get through the 40 minutes, it was a recovery run. I felt a bit more tightening and fatigue on the problem leg than Wednesday, but still not like the pain before, I would put it at a level 1 for pain/discomfort.

| AM: Stretching/rolling session, then PT appt (e-stim, magnetic therapy, ultrasound). PM: 20k on the treadmill. Ran .75, then stopped and stretched, then ran the rest. I ran 7.5 pace until half way then gradually increased to 8.0. No pain! The right side feels different, but the closest way to describe it is just like there is a piece of tape on the back of my leg. Lower pain/soreness than Thursday :D !!!! Core workout, stretching/rolling |
