I have a new running schedule that makes Friday a full on rest day and Saturday a cross training day.\u00a0 I am going crazy.\u00a0 I had today off and it looked so beautiful outside, but it’s a no run day so I refused to put my running shoes on, even though I really wanted to.<\/p>\n

I think this means I have a problem.<\/p>\n

I spent about two hours yesterday putting together a tentative running schedule to get me through the winter and spring racing season.\u00a0 Yes, I said winter and spring.\u00a0 I know it’s only July 3.\u00a0 I told you.\u00a0 I have a problem.\u00a0 Of course, I also have a big race in March that I’m really excited about.\u00a0 I have this tendency to run races, then take a whole month off – so I’m hoping that creating a detailed schedule will mean that I will stick to it and not be screwed and end up with an over-use injury.\u00a0 Again.<\/p>\n

So I’m ramping up slowly.\u00a0 I’m probably putting in a 6 miler this weekend, and I would like to make my base Sunday run at least 6 miles, hopefully a bit more.\u00a0 It doesn’t seem like much to runners, but it seems like a lot to me!\u00a0 I’ve got a good 5 mile loop that I love, so I need to figure out a good way to extend that.<\/p>\n

I’m exciting, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
