I'm training indoors till it warms up! The place we are at, till the house is rebuilt, has a gym with a lot of equipment. I am running on the treadmills morning (3 miles)and night (1 mile) in a nice warm environment with...um well...*whisper* Cable TV, a whirlpool, and sauna Surprised

No sign of last years groin pull, and I am good about stretching first. The only rough thing is that I developed that cold weather running cough, and just can't shake it. Going thu the house with that nasty burnt smell has made it worse. Been thru 3 RX regimins, and I still have it. Probably will be able to do better when I shake this thing. I guess Dan should form the "Rundown Runners" forum for all the sick and rehab people on here Confused

We could cry on each others shoulders Smile

I'm trying to get back where I was before winter hit, and of course the fire Sad

I'll tell ya that running is making me feel soooo much better about life Very Happy

I'm almost ready to tangle with Maximus Pontificus Razz

Hammer, that is quite a school schedule, on top of your regular coaching duties. And your training sounds like its really moving along. Do you have a pretty good track where you do your intervals? 85 laps in the gym, that must have been tedious!! Do you change direction at all??

Paul- Our track is horrible. A lot of the areas are worn away and there are some ruts devoloping on the home stretch. Our sprinters can only work on one of the straitaways.

Any plans to have it resurfaced soon?? BTW what is the cost to resurface a track??
Did an easy 30 min recovery run last night, then tackled some hills at Tryon. West Horse loop, Dan. I was a quivering bag of lactate. I have hit 25 miles so far this week. Should be my first official 30 miler. I am thinking of taking tomorrow off. Have put in 5 straight, and I'm feeling it. The weather has been astounding and there doesn't seem to be any letup through Mon or Tues.

Paul- No plans for a new track. Besides in my little town distance (or mid-distance) is king and the $$$$ usually follows results. So basketball, and XC usually get the $$$$. The price our administrators have been talking about (to renevate our track) is $400,000. The track sits in a bowl next to a ditch and there are major drainage issues. We would have to pass a bond to get it fixed. But like I said earlier it's not high on the school's priority.

I ran 6 miles yesterday in 41.35 bringing my weekly total (5 days) to 36 miles. It was cold (32 degrees) and windy. We finally got some snow. Smile

Hitting the weights this afternoon with light weight and lots of reps. Trying to cancel out Mrs Ward's french toast from this morning.

This week the ratio goes to 1 minute walk and 9 minutes run for 30 minutes. I'm just about back. Smile

That's getting to be a pretty good ratio. Is the foot pain-free?

The foot is pain free but I am taking no chances on coming back too fast. Actually the doc doesn't want me running more than 30 minutes 3 times a week until April. So I will stick with that.

I ran 57 miles last week, finishing up with a 15 miler in 1:53. I took Sunday off. I'm figuring a day off every 10days will work for me right now. I'm shooting for 50 miles on the short (6day) week. But today 2/10 is the 1st offficial day of track practice in NM so my schedule will get a little full.

Micah Ward · Posted: Sat Feb 15, 2003 7:12 pm Post subject:

Today was the last of the walk/run combinations. Monday will be a 25 minute run and Wednesday a 28 minute run. Then I will "taper" Thursday and Friday and do the fatman shuffle Saturday at a local 5K.

And don't worry, those of you familiar with my injury history. There will be no attempt at speed and nothing more than slow 30 minute jogs 3 times a week until the end of March.

I'm almost a runner again. Very Happy
