Hey, thanks boingo - I didn't expect it to take anywhere near this long. Hell, it might have been a blessing in disguise that you missed that last race as you're carrying an injury - if I'd missed my last race, it probably would've saved me two months in the damn gym!
Please think about continuing to post your training once you get back after your break - like the others I think you're just bursting with potential and I'm dying to see you develop.
As for me, I've still to do my first outdoor workout, but I'm still hopeful of getting a shot at that 15 - I'm in Europe so it shouldn't be a problem to find races right til the end of july. It'll take a month from whenever I get back doing proper workouts, but I don't think I'm in too bad shape after all this gym stuff.
Mon: 3.5mi elliptical, 8mi treadmill.
PM: 56mins outdoors.
Tue: 2.5elliptical, 10 treadmill (4.6 tempo 25:39).
PM: 44mins outdoors, weights.
Wed: off (sore heel, lots of work, day off is allowed!)
Thur: AM 3.5mi elliptical, 7mi treadmill
PM: 8mi elliptical 51:xxmins
Relieved to find mysterious heel thing isn't a big problem - I was afraid I'd come up with another injury - plantar problem or something - but maybe I just stepped on something going to the bathroom in the middle of the night or something!
