Training this week:
This will be a step-back week in mileage.
I've had 3 weeks at 40 miles (39, 40, 40), and the half marathon, so it's a good time for a bit of a break in mileage. No long run this wk.
Started the week out running easy - recovery days after the half on Sat.
Monday - 7 miles easy, weights, core work, burpees, squats, and lunges
Tues. - 3 miles easy with 6 X 10 second "pick ups"
Wed. - 5 miles -
1 mile w/u
3 X 400 with 1 min recovery, @ 1:44 avg. pace (goal was 1:45)
2 X 800 with 2 min recovery, @ 3:38 avg. (goal was 3:40)
3 X 400 with 1 min recovery, @ 1:44 avg. pace (goal was 1:45)
1 mile c/d.
Thurs. - 7 miles on the bike.
missed my 2nd weight workout this wk, but hubby and I trimmed the tree limbs and weeds along the wood line of our property, so "trust me" when I say, I definitely had a workout.
Looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend.
Enjoy It!

Love your ABC's! Great training week especially post half. I swear I felt pretty dead still even on Wednesday.
Love your ABC's! I know your yard, so yes, when you say you got a workout I believe it!
i don't know if this is too nosy... but when you say 'by plan' do you mean yours/hubs personal plan, or "God's plan"? i am just wondering... currently i am (still) in the "i don't want to have kids" mode. i have already been told that people will start to think something is "wrong" with me soon. (what the heck? why do people care so much?) i also feel like when you say you don't want to have kids people look at you like you said something wrong. ANYWAY. no matter your answer i was just curious and you don't have to answer if you don't want i promise :)
at least your clothes make it out of the dryer?
Thanks for sharing about yourself. I'm intrigued by upside down biscuits. I don't think I've ever heard of such things. I also have to have my coffee and breakfast!
Lindsay - my plan! My hubby knew about it while we were dating, but now many years later, I think he thought I would change my mind. NOPE! I think he's ok with it, but he would like to have kids on a small, noncommittal level. (like Mom can take care of them while I go and do what I want) NOPE! I never wanted children, even in high school. Yes, it is strange to people, but I'm ok with that. MANY people who have children should NOT have them. So I would never let anyone influence my decision and choice.
Always, ask anything. It's all good!
Raquelita - are you sure you want to know. They are BAD!
Is being the youngest of 4 part of your reason for not wanting kids? :) Just curious if this had anything to do with it. I'm way more stressed with 3 and way more short tempered with my third than I was with my first. I often wonder if he will be growing up thinking "Gosh, if this is what having kids is all about, I don't want them!" :)
I love your ABC's - I had no idea you were 5'10"! I wish I was a little taller :) And, I'd LOVE the upside down biscuit - sounds delicious.
Great job at your 1/2 marathon - you ran a great race! I'll have to visit my mom and MS when there is a local 5/10k so we can all run together!
Great to know more about you! I just wrote about the childless thing today. I'd love to hear what y'all think.

I didn't know that you were 5'10" Man, I am barely taller than you. Now I wonder how tall Jen is. I think she's shorter than you.
Shouldn't your husband be mowing the lawn.
Amanda - in our family the oldest swears the younger of us "got away with murder" while he, the oldest, was held to military standards. So, I'm thinking that is not the reasoning behind the no children thing in my case.
Mel - I'm looking forward to that visit and run if you are prepared to run with US, because we certainly can't keep up with you. Ha!
Chris - we are living in 2011, come on, seriously. Equal rights - yes, my hubby washes dishes. Seriously, he always mows the lawn when he is in, but he is out often, but he does help with the cleaning, etc. I have a great hubby.
That's a great week's workouts there - like how you've got your speedwork down pat there! And re your ABC's- now that I know those biscuits are BAD I really want the recipe..
LOVED the ABC's and your confidence and security with your choices. It's interesting that you just KNEW from high school that you didn't want to have kids. I TOTALLY respect that!
Sounds like your training is going well, enjoy!!
