Martha's So-Called Life

some updates

A few quick updates....

• Here's my weekly link roundup from my other blog. 
• The past few weeks have been jam packed with school (surprise) and work (even more surprise).  Last weekend I ended up forgetting about all the things that I was supposed to do and I went skiing. I needed a break. 
• This is what happens when you need a break...the dog gets in your face and tells you it's time to take a break:

• Look for a training update sometime this weekend.  I'm stilling running! 
• It's really cold out.  It went from 40+ degrees and sloppy, to below zero. Next week it's supposed to be back to 40+ degrees.  I've given up on winter (for the 200th time this year) and am anxiously awaiting spring. 
• If anyone has any connections with people who want to precept a nurse practitioner student (pediatrics and primary care) I need HELP! People are surprisingly unwilling to accept students these days. Don't they know I'm the key to their retirement?!?

weekly training recap (2/23 - 3/1)

Hi friends!  I'm still here (you can also find me over here).

School has taken over my life the last couple of week and I haven't been doing very much running.  I decided that I would get back on track and managed to get out the door for runs both days this weekend.  

Saturday: 3.5 miles

Sunday: 3.9 miles

Weekly total: 7.4 miles 

2015 total: 77 miles 

Next week is when the "meat" part of my training plan starts.  I feel like I have a pretty solid base built, although I could always use a few more slow miles under my belt.  Next week is a transition week meaning there are not any hard workouts and it will end with a long run (7 miles).  My plan is to take it slow and use this week for building a more solid base.

Happy running!
