{If you’re new to SIDI here’s some info: At the beginning of each week on FCITC “Say it, Do it” is a chance for us to commit to our workouts for the week by saying them out loud here and keeping each other accountable.}
I just read this in Runner’s World about the Eugene Marathon:
“… in 2012 20 percent of the field {at Eugene} qualified for Boston.”
I’m going to be one of the 20%. (period)
Workout highlights from the week:
My love for the foam roller grows deeper with each passing day.
When I was younger, I like every other young person on planet earth, thought I was invincible. My feelings of invincibility deminished completely when I went through that looong series of injuries. I’m hoping that with the prioritizing foam rolling and strength work the same way I do my long runs, I’ll be able to make it through this training cycle feeling strong. I have a residual ache from Richmond creeping around, but I’m hoping it disappears asap!
This past week, I got in all my workouts but once again didn’t complete them exactly in the order as planned. I’m starting back real speed work this week and can’t wait. I’ve been feeling quite sluggish despite ignoring any and all numbers related to pace that pop up on my Garmin.
Workouts for the Week:
- Monday: REST!!
- Tuesday: 3×1600/Strength
- Wednesday: Spin
- Thursday: Tempo (7 miles total), might have to move to Friday
- Friday: Strength
- Saturday: 14 miles
- Sunday: 3 mile recovery run
What was your workout highlight from the week?
What workouts are you committed to this week? Let me know in the comment section or if you’re doing your own SIDI it post this week leave me the link so I can check it out!
I have been posting my workouts at the end of each week, but I should probably work on planning more specifically. The recap still makes me feel accountable though, so I think it’s working for me. As of right now my plan for the week is run, yoga, rest…
And good luck with your BQ! SO EXCITING!
I am SO glad you do this. Because it’s helped me so much. you’re awesome. Here’s to week 3!

Thanks for the foam roller recommendation on Twitter! I bought one last year–now I just need to use it regularly. 😉
You will be the 20%! Whoop!
I’m glad you listened to your body, but still got in your workouts.
I’ve been interval training on the bike and it’s such a good sweat.
Have a great week
I LOVE your belief in yourself!! Yes, you will be in that 20%. I only wish Eugene were closer so I could cheer!
My goals include not letting any excuses get in the way of my training this week (thankfully, back in NYC I don’t have family to make me feel guilty if I don’t spend time with them!). http://www.jensbestlife.com/2013/01/weekly-goals-and-workout-recap-indian.html
IF I start back with short runs this week, my SIDI is to continue with the strength training.
The Kidless Kronicles
My goal for this week is to do 3 of the crossfit endurance strength and strength/conditioning workouts. I did 2 last week and I’m building up to being able to do all of them. I’ll also fit in running (3 times a week) and yoga (2-3 times).
Oh yes, you will be in that 20%! One of those spots is for you…now to chase it relentlessly! xx
You will do great! 20% is a huge number, and I know you will be right up there! Thanks for the SIDI (last week was kinda crap) but I HAVE stuck with my workout so far this week and writing it down has deff helped!!

Looks like a solid line up for work outs!! Highlights for me this week… soccer tonight, a tempo Thursday, and another 11 miler on Sunday. It is supposed to be incredibly cold Sunday unfortunately.. .praying that it warms up, I CAN NOT do 11 miles on a treadmill, I’d go bananas.
I was excited to see the orange roller – I got one of those for Christmas! I haven’t quite figured out when to use it yet (post run? all the time?). I have an issue with my glutes (piriformis) and I’m hoping the roller will help fix it. Do you have suggestions on when to use it?
Ok, sorry I posted that wrong. Wanted to also let Megan know that I had to run a 20 miler on my treadmill since I didn’t want to run in the rain. With a good movie or two it really isn’t that bad!
