I need a PLAN!

Lisa, my always-supportive-gushing-bestest-cheerleader-ever suggested I get a schedule going for my training.  DOH!

Seriously though, I sat around all weekend (ok, I didn't really sit around I had to work and other things I had to do...but MENTALLY I sat around!) feeling sorry for myself and worrying about my feet when I could have been proactive and started making a plan.

By the way, my feet feel better.  I'm still really struggling with knowing what SORE feet feel like compared to Plantar Fasciitis-coming-back-feet.  I'm going to just have to take it slow and get over it.  I was thinking yesterday how amazing it will feel to conquer this hurdle I have in front of me.

So, I have decided that I possibly need more recovery time than the average person.   Hopefully this will change, but instead of inducing more injury, I have decided to go way slower than I would like by running twice a week instead of 3x.  I have tried running less mileage but 3x and that has not worked when I start to up the mileage, so this time I'm going to run less but more.  Got that?  ;)  Run twice a week, cross train 2 other days, and then still up my mileage on one of the runs.  Friday's run.

I made up a quick calendar for the rest of March and I have it hung up.  I will find a better calendar and decide if there should be any changes at the end of the month.  I don't want to be rigid if it's not going to work and I'm leaving my mileage for the long runs open for now because I'm unsure of how slow or fast I will be able to add miles at this point.  Slow and steady, right?  :)

Ok, so I published and went away for a bit before having a lightbulb moment.  Rey bought some equipment to cram put in our bedroom so when he wasn't at physical therapy/work conditioning (he has a couple herniated discs) he could workout at home.  I had looked at them and thought they might come in handy, but I am so focused on my running that I never really CONSIDERED them.  Well, looking at my handy-dandy cross training schedule this morning, I realized that I could do at least one of my workouts right here at home!  I have no idea what I was thinking, but I'm thinking now at least!  I rearranged them as best as I could so that they would be ready and beckoning me!  LOL.  Then I worked out!  I'll most likely not be able to type, put my clothing on, or lift my arms at all by tomorrow at this time...and I broke a sweat.  Imagine that!  ;)
