Great tool, Rox
Interesting that they're keeping it to one high intensity day, one rest day, and one distance day - hopefully I have time to give that a go.

Can I be the first to say that every single one of Roxy's post is also inspiring me to workout??
Seriously, when i'm at work - feelin' tired, I read some new tidbit she posts, and i'm all pumped for my evening workout.

Question:
I've been getting pain in both knees. when I take NSAID's and pain meds, it doesn't bother me at all. Should I back off of the pain meds and make sure I'm not seriously injuring myself? Or is this normal and should I just get through this?

I remember lots of shin splints when I started running and some pain in one knee when I started increasing run mileage.
My personal take on it was that I was just out of shape and this was my body adjusting. Ice and a couple pills of Ibuprofen after a run helped me get through it.
But that said, if you feel that you need medication just to start or get through your workouts, it might be time to talk your doctor.

It's been a week, and I'm still limping pretty badly with a light ankle sprain. I don't expect to be running again for at least another week, and I'd like to spend a week or two on my roadbike before returning to running.
My chances of making Napa are looking more and more slim

Hey Rick,
When I was riding more often, I was doing it mostly in the East Bay hills. Grizzly / Skyline / Wildcat Canyon / Bear Creek and the like.
Once I completed my first triathlon, I wiped the dust off the mountain bike and spent most of my time on trails again. I'm not sure about the best roadbike routes up in Sacramento, but I do know where some excellent singletrack and downhill is for trailbikes!
If you're ever up for a ride in the East Bay, lemme know

Map your route and then select 'elevation'.
It then displays the individual elevation points and a cool elevation map.
Save the map via the permalink button and it generates a unique URL you can send your friends.

Nice one Joel!
34 days to go!
I ran 16miles Saturday morning. It took me 4-5 miles to warm up. Miles 6-14 flew by, especially with the 'High' kickin' in at mile 7 til 14....then my body went into cruise control the last few miles and then I was done....
I jumped in the ocean for about 20 minutes after my run to soak my legs in the cold water---which felt sooooo nice!
Today my legs/feet feel great. I can run, but I'm supposed to take 2 days off after my long runs.
I'm back to my maintenance run tomorrow evening.
This Saturday will be 18 miles......

Now, I'm shooting for the SF Marathon on July 29th..
Looks like Bap will be my training partner
You can lead

Glad to hear you're recovering.
My last long run was 10 miles, but that was over a week ago.
I haven't been running much since then since I'm fighting off a cold.
Hmm....July 29, huh?
Aw that sucks Joel. I hope you feel better soon.
Training for a marathon is no joke.....You break down your body to a point where your immune system is weakenened.
I'm hoping I'll be healthy enough to do the SF race, which is a little over 21 weeks away.
I think I want to be able to at least run 18-20 miles before I sign up for the race. I hated having to cancel my spot.

What's your tri schedule like for this year?
My first tri will be the SJ International in June.
This looks like a fun marathon

BTW...
Nike has opened registration for the Nike Women's Marathon which takes place this year on Sunday 21st October in San Francisco. Last year it sold out pretty quickly, so it is worth registering soon. *the half-marathon has already sold out*
Although this is officially a women's marathon, men can enter too.
The cost is $75 for the half marathon and $95 for the full marathon.

Not only is this a great late season marathon in San Francisco, Nike also puts on a great program of paced and supported runs on Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings in the 16 weeks prior to the race.
