More Scheming and Planning

I didn’t run this morning, as I was a bit stiff and sore from too little hydration the day before. I’ll try to sneak in the miles either at lunch and then at dinner, or just in the evening. Or maybe I’ll just do 10 tomorrow instead of this morning. This is the heavy mileage week. It doubles as the week to see if I feel up to bumping my running up to ultra distances in 2005 (even theoretically).

After the marathon, I’ll stop training for running until spring. I’ll still get in runs, but not with a specific plan. In fact, I’ll turn over my planning to burning fat and toning up even more. I’ll work on kicking 30 plus pounds off my frame over the winter. While everyone else is allowing on that magical 10 pounds, I’m going to try and carve up the bird a little more. We’ll see. I’m definitely a guy who loves to eat, and even when I eat good for me foods, I still love eating plenty of them. I’m hoping to use muscle mass and calorie burning to offset my appetites.

So, that’s the plan as far as I can tell. Train through the marathon, and then switch over to body work. Yop. A resounding YOP.

    I’d like to “carve up the bird” a little my self. I’d be happy with 10 more pounds. I had the joy of looking at labor beach videos last night and I still have a lot more jiggle than I should be having.

    Hey, Chris! Lots of great posts lately. I especially liked the one about self esteem. I couldn’t agree more.

    Regarding ultras, don’t use one week to judge yourself. It’s taken me a long time to feel comfortable even approaching an ultra, and even during my ultra training I had some bad weeks, low mileage weeks. You are tenacious and train well, so if you want to ultras there is nothing that should prevent you from training for that goal. There are some great training plans and sources of advice, especially http://www.ultrunr.com. This site was invaluable to me.

    Good luck!

    Sounds like a good plan. I think I need to do something similar because I tend to put on a lot of weight over the holidays. Unfortuantely, I find it really hard to stick to my guns when the people around me are stuffing their faces like nobody’s business.
