Happy Weekend! P left again for a TDY trip, his 3rd this month. The weather is cold and grey, the house is a mess and we have no food. Needless to say, I don't want to run. I am struggling to come up with a weekly training plan. My goal today is to sit down with the various fitness magazines I bought this month and decide on something.

I really enjoyed the spin class this past week. It was hard, but I was able to keep up and it challenges me in a different way. I think my goal mileage is 20-25 per week. The problem is figuring out how to do those miles. I like to run fast. Running is not so boring if I run fast. I also enjoy intervals, but these things wear down the body too much if you do it too often. The long run is important, but it is so boring for me. I would pay someone to run with me on long days, just so I could have someone to talk to. Training for the marathons almost killed me, not because the training was difficult, but because I spent too many hours alone running. A person could loose their mind with that much time to think.

Clearly, the winter blahs are here. That usually means that I should make running today a priority. I did manage to do some work on the blog. What other info do you guys want on here? I thought I would look for some articles on training, shoes, injuries, etc. Your thought? V
