water rafting trip an old favorite of mine with petru his first camping trips visits to my mil s house on the beach lots of barbecues a fun girls trip and a birthday celebration in paris in early fall just me and chris and mom for a few days i am still reading blogs mostly on my phone on the way to and from work i know what you are all up to those who posts i often wonder about this fastie and what she is up to and am so excited for all the races you have planned ______________ i don t recommend a running streak i would not keep one up if i were training since my runs are easy and very easy these days i can get away with the streak posted by ana maria runtrilive at 4 30 pm 11 comments thursday april 11 2013 recovering assessing and a 5k tt anyone who reads this blog should know that any time i don t post for a while i am either injured knock on wood not the case this time or conflicted about running after the winter season that was not due to 2 races that were cancelled i knew i had to rest a bit i had a few niggles that needed to go away i also had a mind that did not want to try anymore i took about 2 weeks off of training i ran almost daily but as long as i wanted with no structure and no watch i let go i thought things over i listened to podcasts i listened to my thoughts i thought about choices priorities goals desires you know the big things here is the scoop this will never be one of those open book blogs i censor myself here for various reasons most important being that i want to create happy memories i believe that we create our own memories in many different ways how we think what we do and also what we choose to write about this may not be for everyone but it is for me i want to look back at this public journal years from now and remember the good runs the races the beautiful runs i want to put a positive spin on everything in my life and i want to train my mind to remember the positives lately i have been doing some happy running last week i did a 5k tt in 20 09 it was very controlled not all out with a very slow first mile bc i had not done any 5k specific training in many many months then i went to the track twice today i ran another 5k tt on the track in 18 28 59 5 56 pace it was hard i vomited at the end not as much as i did on monday during the 3x1mile 5 45 i was happy i wanted to break 19 in the 5k for so long although this is not an official time and the track is much faster than the road today i did not care today i felt strong and many hours later my legs feel strong and happy niggle free the rest of me is exhausted as i usually am at the end of a full day more happy will follow tomorrow my good friend one of the special ones who gets me is coming to boston for a few days then saturday another friend quite an opposite to myself in some sense but one very very close to my heart is coming over again it s been too long since i ve seen them both and i can t wait then monday i get to watch the boston marathon i am happy i am not running it this year i am nervous for a couple of truly inspirational runner that are close to my heart and can t wait to see them run strong on monday here is to my favorite boston marathon 2013 runners katie tia amanda robin kristina and everyone else i might have forgotten the chorus is for you posted by ana maria runtrilive at 5 10 pm 9 comments saturday march 9 2013 the process at the beginning of this training cycle some 18 20 weeks ago i made a pact with myself that i will work hard not to get attached to a race outcome i wanted to make sure i enjoyed the process i kept my priorities in check and i did not make sacrifices for my training e g i stayed up late with friends friday nights i did not skip on life events due to my running schedule etc this is a different strategy than i have employed in the past it was nothing to brisk but rather a process of growth for me from my early years of racing 2009 2011 when at times i was fused with training this training cycle has gone amazingly well for me i have seen myself get faster than i have ever been although not attached to training i have worked harder than ever before my body has been able to handle more quality than ever before i did not get injured i made the correct call on 3 niggles knee pain ball of foot pain and back pain and ran through them and watched them disappear i have also learned valuable lessons about my body and have put a lot of thought into where i want my running to go it has become clear to me that although my musculoskeletal system can handle a ton of work my hormonal and nervous systems get tired after about 18 weeks this is something new for me which i first noticed last year in the past i was able to run hard year round though the hard at that time is the moderate to easy now so where am i now my second half marathon this winter got cancelled when i first heard the news i felt disappointment but it was pretty easy to move on and honestly felt relief that i could immediately go run hard taper is difficult for me my body likes homeostasis and when i decrease miles by 50 on the last week of taper things become challenging the run yesterday was a bliss even though it was on the tm yesterday i watched on fb people posting negative comments about the race cancellation and the rd and i smiled i got that i was there in the past and it felt good not to be to be able to move on and enjoy my day to be able to sit with the uncertainty of whether the race will get rescheduled and when whether i have already peaked and might not be able to have the race that i could have had whether i would have to sit through another dreaded taper again i look at my 7 year old who is now figuring out emotions he is learning about disappointment on the small scale he is completely attached to outcomes he often tells me that this is not fair i help him through hold him and when he is out of his stress response i whisper in his ear sweety life is not fair things don t always happen for a reason and then i take him on an imaginary waterslide and watch his little face turn into a smile so there it goes an training cycle with little to show for objectively for now but a full load of experiences and growth i ll take it and now i go run posted by ana maria runtrilive at 5 48 am 14 comments thursday february 28 2013 tapering again after the r ace that did not happen i pushed again for a few days trying to make up for the fitness boost that i was planning to get from my first half marathon on saturday i ran fresh pond again after 4 hard miles and experienced the benefits of having faster women around to push me on monday i i ran a great 5x2k 10k pace on tuesday i ran my fastest progression of this training cycle and today i ran my last quality workout 2x15 min 10k pace my legs are tired for sure not sore just tired and tight i like this feeling as it gives me some tangible proof of hard work there is a sense of relief that comes from knowing that i don t have any real hard workouts left i have been dreading some of my hard runs lately i can say this now because they are all done and in the bank this is always a sign for me that i have gotten close to my limit it is a nice feeling to have because i can tell myself that i worked as hard as i could and the voice inside my head that says things like you could have done that split a little faster etc is getting silenced i spent some time comparing my training this year with my training for my last hm in march 2011 i am much faster i have done more miles more quality i can t even compare really how much stronger i am on paper at this point sure in 2011 i was into triathlons so i used to bike a lot of hours a week and swim a few times as well in addition to running but if we think of specific running fitness i am a much better runner now i don t know what this all means honestly i don t know what my hm pace is i will figure that one out as i run i have a bit of a range in my head but the race conditions course it has changed since 2011 and there are about 6 hills with 3 of them in miles 9 10 and 11 and the state of my legs will be the deciding factors regardless of what happens i have thoroughly enjoyed the journey of the last 16 weeks i am excited to switch things up after this race rest a bit go back to the gym for some strength training and some spinning enjoy some spring and summer trail running and then see if my mind is still set on running the baystate marathon in the fall things are changing for sure but the feeling of accomplishment and pure joy i get at the end of a hard run is a constant that i know i will always cherish it good luck to all the runners racing this weekend i am so excited thinking about all the great races ahead and will be stalking you on saturday and sunday posted by ana maria runtrilive at 9 56 am 17 comments thursday february 21 2013 catching up the past couple of weeks have been awesome training wise i ran 65 and 60 miles suffered through some treadmill induced soreness and had a major fall in the middle of a tempo run on a turn on an icy spot which led immediately to a bloody knee and more recently to some back pain grr and maybe not even related speaking of pain my r foot has also been giving me a bit of grief lately luckily the pain is on the bottom of the foot and caused by some kind of ligament inflammation not the bone phew at this point the back is more of an issue although truth be told i will not take a break for these little niggles i also have a little race on sunday except that the race might not happen currently the race is planned to go on however we are watching the weather carefully and we estimate that it is a 10 chance the race will be held and a 90 likelyhood it will be cancelled we will post the final decision as early as possible our goal is to post the decision by mid day friday but reserve the right to hold off until sunday 5am in case the weather forecast changes very low probability of that ha i ve tapered this week and ran only 30 miles thus far mostly easy the snow is supposed to hit on saturday afternoon so i should be able to have a fresh pond race on saturday morning in 2 weeks i am scheduled to run another hm so all is well really and truth be told i needed a bit of a break i scheduled a massage tomorrow in hope of getting some relief for the back but i know that back pain is something that kinda takes its time i ve been here before in other news vacation week is almost over for my son and my husband lots of adventures for them and a bit of jealousy on my part ha chris and i got to enjoy a nice dinner out and some blue grass music last night i may or may not have had my phone confiscated while i was checking emails under the table during sets chris s drumming band is playing a real gig on march 1st and am so excited to go hear him play so proud of him for picking up drumming a year ago sticking to it and having a ton of fun in the process plus as much as i love him i also love a thursday night all alone in the house as much as i love racing i think i am ready for another high particularly as i approach 40 and my body is starting to screech we shall see what will come to me trail running seems very very attractive raina if only you lived closer posted by ana maria runtrilive at 5 54 pm 14 comments monday february 11 2013 sore back from shoveling sore legs from tm running and making things work out i woke up this morning and everything hurt back arms neck shoulders quads hamstrings calves what what s going on most of you probably know that we ve got hit with a blizzard this past weekend i am one of the weird people who loves blizzards i love watching people s reactions the lines in the grocery stores hm do you really need all that meat and icecream if you are concerned about losing power how about some canned goods the snow the enthusiasm expressed by kids and i confess the anxiety about the car that my hubby experiences when the weather gets bad mean i know on saturday i had 14 miles planned the gym was closed at 11 am a snowplow finally made it up a hill and onto my street i was antsy i was cranky petru was busy making tunnels in the snow with his friends i shoveled for about 1 hour and made a path to the street then chris sent me out for a run i reluctantly left thinking i might walk run for 30 min or so i ended up running 10 miles maybe 7 40 pace in the middle of the perfectly plowed main road driving was banned on saturday the wind was evil 30mph with 50mph gusts so 5 miles felt like running uphill but the next 5 miles were effortless i am estimating the pace here because i did not wear a watch i felt much happier when i was done and managed a bit of backyard sledding too on sunday the driving ban was lifted and i knew there would be no way i could run on the narrow roads plus i wanted to do a bit of quality running so i went to the gym i decided to do 3x5k by hr since i know tms are different from the road i ran the intervals 6 46 6 40 and 6 35 but ended up with one hand on the rail most of the time for balance i know that is bad but it was really the only way for me because otherwise i would oscillate from touching the front of the tm band to almost being spilled out of the tm my hr was around my planned hm hr so i am fine with the run then more sledding in the afternoon back to this morning sore sore sore i can t bend down that s the pain from shoveling my quads in particular are super sore oh and i had to run another session on the tm today i had 5x2k 10k pace as part of a 10 mile run i decided on the pace based on hr and pushed the last 2 a bit to for some reason the 2ks 6 22 to 6 10 pace for the last one seemed easier to me that then 5k intervals even though the pace was faster hmmm now i can barely walk ha this brings me to my conclusion that tm running is different than road running dahhh i mean last monday i ran 5x1k 5 35 5 50 on the road and did not even feel the run the next day i ran a nice progression immediately the next day and i was fine i read that the tm overworks the quads and does not engage the hamstrings but my quads and my hamstrings are now sore still i have to say that i agree now that running intervals on the tm is easier mentally and i might incorporate it in the future i am not worried of course i will be fine and perhaps this new training stimulus will help the bike path is now plowed and i am hoping that the rain that we are getting now is not going to make it more appropriate for skating than for running i have my last important run on thursday morning and would really like to be able to do it outside will see posted by ana maria runtrilive at 9 16 am 12 comments older posts home subscribe to posts
