I don't have any race plans, just some personal goals. The hardest thing is to run 30 mile weeks. I usually run 25-28 miles and it seems awfully hard to maintain 30 for some reason. I'm going to try to do 30 this week and will keep you posted to my progress.

I'll post mine in a bit. I downloaded a half-marathon training plan from Runner's World's website. Although I'm sure y'all's mileage will make me be embarrased to even post mine. LOL

I'm running a 5K Saturday. No real "training", just my daily evening jogs. I think I'll go short on Thursday and rest on Friday.

I was reading about that in the magazine. I'm actually thinking about running one this fall, this blog might just give me the motivation to do it.

Please don't ever feel embarrassed, ttrish...I find that running is such a personal thing, and simply because of the fact that you're running at all earns you my respect (that sounded cocky of me, didn't it? I hope you know what I mean!)

And good luck to you on Saturday, Steve!

Hey brij, Hopefully you WILL be motivated to run it, but I also find that signing up for an event well ahead of time "forces" me to be serious in my training. There's no better motivation than having already shelled out the money! haha.

preach that!

last week, i did 8 miles. this week, i'll log in 10.

i'm a bit unhappy with the RW training schedule because it only has me running 3 days a week. i'm fine with having a day off in between runs (well, not really, but i can cope with that), but the 2 day break kills me --- literally. it's hard to get back in the rhythm. so today, which was supposed to be a rest/xt day, i went ahead and did a mile, so that tomorrow i won't be so shocked.

part of the problem with the training guide, i think, is my own fault. i put in that i wanted to train "moderate." maybe i should have put hard as the choice. however, i go at a painfully slow pace, so that would have changed that to a faster pace, and it might have been too much. i already have some minor tears in my right knee, and my left knee is barely hanging in --- so i don't want to push it too hard --- so i'm going to increase mileage for now, and speed will come later.
