This means training plans and marathon plans are coming soon, I just need to put it all together. I started with the Advanced marathoning book last night and I can't put it down. Its packed full of great information.
On the workout front, haven't run much this past week. Still have the tailend of the cold I caught a few weeks back. But I am going to run today, and have a 30K planned for Sunday morning with Christy. Should be fun!
I haven't totalled my HBB challenge points, but I have a feeling its not great but this week will be better, I hope. Oh and have I mentioned I have bought 0 Christmas gifts? I am not worried though, I have a list and as long as I have a few hours sometime in the next week, it will all come together.
Good luck to Laura and D10 tomorrow!
Hope you all have a great weekend! Thanks for reading!
lol, i with you on the challenge and the xmas gifts. it won't take me too long either though, just a matter of getting out there. btw, thanks for encouragement and the kind words. Always appreciated :) Happy reading and enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are feeling better and tomorrow is still good! I'll call you later today to confirm details. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh you'll have to give us reviews on the books. They sound good! I've done all of my shopping online but I kind of miss going into the stores and feeling the holiday spirit!
ReplyDeleteNice. I'll have to check these out!
ReplyDeleteHI Marci
ReplyDeleteI have Advanced Marathoning and it is a pretty cool book with some great technical training advice. It is also a little too serious and some of the stuff made me laugh a little bit. One of their ideas is that you pretty much have to sacrifice everything if you are going to become a "competitive runner". It is still a great read and mine is dog eared and highlighted.
Best of luck with your running.
tell us how you like explosive running! sounds interesting. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I don't have to shop this year. Only had to buy for my nephews...I can't stand Christmas shopping! Oh, but I obviously don't mind shopping for myself...spent a ton at Loft the other day.
ReplyDeleteLooks like some good reading!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a good running book!
ReplyDeleteI struggle to put down any running book also.
ReplyDeleteBe sure to tell us what you think of the books.
ReplyDeleteLooks like some cool reading! Can't wait to hear about your plans!
ReplyDeletecan't wait to hear about the training plans and what you think of them, I really need some thoughts on a good one.
ReplyDeleteThe book, "Advanced Marathoning" is my running Bible and have used it extensively for my own marathon training! You'll find many coaches/teachers/runners will reference this book in their own training schedules as well.
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to check these books out. Let me know how you like them. I need to get going on the Christmas shopping. I only have 1 week!!!!
ReplyDeleteYAYYY for advanced marathoning :)

Hubby asked for that book for Christmas and I think my Mom got it for him - I can't wait to sneak a peak as well. :)
ReplyDeleteHope your 30K went well!
