Post em!

Easy run, between 4 and 7 miles depending on how I feel.

I got my results back today. Everything is normal, although my Iron levels are a bit low, but red blood cell production is normal so it's nothing to worry about unless I start bleeding profusely. The doctor suggested that I probably had Seasonal Affective Disorder (winter depression). So in other words the doctor's orders are to spend more time outside in the daylight. Therefore, I'm going to try running at about noon each day for the next little while and see if that helps.

My teacher has SAD. I guess its "popular" in areas where its constantly overcast and glooomy. At least they didn't give you a lightbox to sit in front of..

Another snow day.
=/

I dont know what to dooooo.

Well, the Dr. did suggest if we had the spare money or if it was covered by insurance to get one, but I don't think it is, and plus, sunlight is free

Can't you go running in the snow?

no...I cant get downtown or even up our driveway..my parents almost crashed our car (suv,biggest thing we have) down our minnie cliff next to our driveway. I just spent 30min helping digging it out. It was literally like 5inches from doom. haha its suuper icy.
Long story short: no.

Sorry for the long response =/

Long responses are cool. But that sucks big time.

My 5.75 miles were great, nice to be back out running

^^ Glad to hear your running again! I did 4 miles moderate/hard. Second kinda hard day in a row...I don't think it was that good of an idea. I'm done with school though! YAY! No more math! My next semester I have such easy classes! Lol, getting ready to go watch a wrestling match a school...should be fun.

2nd rest day in a row. Came down with a severe cold so my mom isn't letting me run today.

3.5ish miles
hips hurt
neuromuscular massage therapy
soaking in a bath of magnesium sulfate?? hmm

core .....thats all

Do you put any elevation on your treadmill? And I can't imagine running the miliage you do on a treadmill!

5 miles easy
i think i need to get a pair of warmer gloves...

slipper slush and snow. ickky

3 miles then my team did a secret santa
-I got sushi, gatorade, and milkyway

i did four 400s... and then i all the sudden completely died. i don't know why, i was feeling really good and relaxed the first two... and then the next two were a lot slower... and then i almost passed out. weird. although maybe it's good i didn't do all eight; my private coach (who knows A LOT more than my school coach) says that work out is bull.

Were you saying that a 8X400 workout is bull? Because I have one of the most experienced Coaches in my state, who is the brother of RI marathon legend Bobby Doyle (training schedule is based off Bobby's workouts), and who has coached quite a few of the best runners to ever run in the state, who uses workouts like 8X400 and 12X400, so personally, I wouldn't say anything bad about that type of workout

It depends on the pace and the recovery time. 8x400 @ mile race pace with short recoveries is not a good workout. 8x400 @ 5k race pace with 1:1 recoveries is a good workout. You can't just generalize.

40 Minute run with abs every 5 minutes.
Then Band Concert.

just like wondering...how do you know which is bad and which is good? like how come doing it at mile race pace isn't good?
