OK, I'm a little late on this, but way to go!!! Good luck with your training - and I know that your dad's memory will push you through this onefitoverforty wrote:Just printed out 12 week 1/2 marathon training schedule! The race is in the first part of April. I don't feel comfortable trying to train for a full 26.2 marathon with only 12 weeks to prepare - that's not enough time. If weekly mileage was up in the 25 to 30 range, then I could do it, but it is not even close to that right now. I've been focusing on the shorter 5K's, but now it is time to switch gears and start getting some serious mileage in.
Back in September i posted this:
"the other day when I was visiting Dad, the doctor came in and was talking to us...looked at me and said "are you the runner"? I said "yes, that I have father's strong legs, and just decided to put them to good use! lol". Then dad told the doctor something I never knew...he has always wanted to run with me! I told him to hold onto to that..and Lord willing, we will make it happen. I told him it would be an honor to run, or even walk with him."
This race, in heart, will be dedicated to Dad. Even tho' we never got to run together, just knowing that he was proud of me, and had told his doctor about me, and especially the fact that he wanted to run with me has been a tremendous inspiration for me and a source of strength in these last few weeks. On race day, he WILL be with me, with his picture pinned to shirt, every step will be done together.
I know he will be with you during that race and that will be a great motivation for you! I am so glad you are doing well and have started running again 
It was warm, but the wind added a bite to the air - I needed jacket. 
treadmill here i come...yes, I am a wuss. 
If your going to use alcohol with that it will be an early night with that game.amatlack wrote:I'm going to play a drinking game: one shot every time someone says "the unknowns
) were really incorporating alot of bodyweight strength training and as you say functional fitness with ropes, bags, boxing, etc. - I really like that stuff, and it shows that you can work hard outside of the gym too and still lose weight. 
was doing some bw exercises and got into a pull up challenge with son. I began the pullup - or is it a chin up (palms facing in) anyway about midway up I felt newly healed elbow muscle area pull - a sharp pain in the muscle or tendon - I immediately dropped and tried to convince myself that I didn't hurt anything, but alas....I have re-injured it. I am so upset right now. I was really doing well with the pushups, rows - I completely forgot about elbow area problem. I thought it was healed, I've been carrying in groceries, lifting small boxes, doing things almost back to normal with no pain.
No money this week for a doctor visit, so I guess I will just take ibuprofen, and try not to use it too much, no lifting or pulling motions. 2 steps forward, 10 steps back. 
Take care of it!
