Ok I DID run last night. Headed out for a 3 miler w/ some short, increased pace intervals. I underestimated how cool it was. I was cold the whole first mile for "warm up" so I ran a bit toooo fast, was still cold and got a side stitched. So a walked a bit and turned about and ran slowly (w/ side stitch) home. I did feel better by mile 2 and probably just took that long to warm up and get into the groove. But I did nto push it and called it a night. 2 miles is better than nothing.
Skipping out of work at noon today to hit the gym and TM and get my 3 miler in. I know once I do it...I'll feel better.

Yep, I need to get back to cycling...This month my schedule is just really wacky. As we fly out tomorrow for Vegas and the Great Santa Run. Yes, I will be running a 5k in a Santa Suit!

Kacie,
Having a coach and training plan has been great for me. I, too, will be transition from a 1/2 martahon training, to biking (multiple 2 day charity rides w/hills) and hopefully my FIRST tri by the end of summer. I could never figure it out without a coach. Some folks can...not me. Plus keeps me honest. I did drop 10 minutes off my last 1/2 PR to a my most recent 1/2 marathon.

Of course my coach said this was a "rest month" and that if I didn't feel like doing the run or whatever it was ok to rest and skip it. Once I get that permission it is like a free for all! But Jan will be here soon enough and I'll be focus and really back on my TP.

Happy running to all!
K
