Hi Girls,
Diane, I didn't do so well with the candy yesterday...and some of it wasn't easter stuff! LOL
I am hoping I made up for it b/c I just did a 8 mile run on a empty belly and I am not starving! But I am going to do GS legs before I stop for the day, if I don't do it now...I never will.

Yesterday was 7.5 miles, and I was wiped the rest of the day. Felt like I couldn't recover. Legs were shaky and everything. Pretty weird. I think today I'm going to keep it light, maybe three miles on the treadmill and some yoga. I didn't get my AM cardio in today because I overslept.
For those of you who are having Easter candy guilt, isn't that stuff calorie free as long as you eat it on Easter? ;-)

I won't run today. I did 60 minutes on the elliptical this a.m. and I am off to do Muscle Max. 19 Days to Marathon day!!!
I am so happy to hear that Easter candy is calorie free as long as you eat it on Easter! Whew...what a HUGE relief!!!

Good morning,
I had a pretty bad longish run on Saturday. I had intended to do 10 but made it only to about seven, with periods of walking interspersed in the run. I couldn't get my breathing to regulate and felt like I was really huffing and wheezing... not fun! So I'd run a few minutes and walk a few minutes, and finally went home. Then I had a migraine the rest of the day. Ugh.
On a brighter note, I had a pretty nice run on the treadmill this morning. I did about four and a half miles without any major breathing problems. I think I must have just had a bad day on Saturday, and now things are looking up. I now have just one more long training run this weekend, an 8k on April 29, then the half-marathon! I'm getting kind of nervous!
Have a great day,
Ellen

Does the no calorie rule apply to cake and ice cream too?
Ellen, not every run is a winner (I’ve learned that!)….I’m glad today was better. Yeah, I hear ya….my marathon is 13 days away and I’m starting to get jittery. I have this “fear” of tapering, like I’m going to lose any endurance I’ve built up. Unreasonable I know, because last time I was fine on race day.
I woke up late this morning so I’m going to run on my treadmill this evening for 90 minutes using Cardio Coach Volumes 6 & 1. Do any of you have these and like them too?

Hello everyone! I hope that you all had a great Easter!
Yesterday I ran 11 miles with my mom who is just totally awesome and then played kickball with my family for over an hour. I slept SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good last night! Today I am going to do the step part of SJP and do some yoga since I feel so tight. I felt my hammies start to tighten up after about 8 miles and even though I stretched them out pretty good I still feel like I need something more intense.
Carole, I think it is so funny that you say "only four miles". Three months ago I would have though "ONLY FOUR???? IS SHE CRAZY?" but now that I have been training, four really does feel like nothing, doesn't it?
