Those that know me, know I am an extreme planner. I thrive off of schedules and routines and deviations from them can sometimes send me in a frenzy. Maybe it's the capricorn in me.
One of my favorite things to plan out is my training and race calendar; currently I have my daily workouts and racing schedule set until October 2011. This might be taking things a little far but that's me.
In attempts to both post more and keep myself more accountable to my plan, I've decided to post my running schedule every week. I recognize there's probably only a handful of folks who follow my blog but feel free to make comments/suggestions on my plan. Don't suggest anything too drastic though; otherwise I'll freak out! I kid. The plan for next week is below. To see my progress, click on the link to my logarun training blog to the right.
Monday -- 01/10 -- Run Easy 20 minutes, Stretch
Tuesday -- 01/11 -- Strength Class 30 minutes
Wednesday -- 01/12 -- Run Easy 20 minutes, Elliptical 20 minutes, Stretch (This is weather pending. They're calling for snow on Wednesday but not saying how much just yet. If I can't get to the gym this day, I'll run Thursday before taking off and move the elliptical to Friday's workout. This may happen anyway if I'm extra sore/tired from the prior days.)
Thursday -- 01/13 -- OFF (Flying to Phoenix to visit my sister!)
Friday -- 01/14 -- Run, Easy 20 minutes, Strength (Core + free weights), Stretch
Saturday -- 01/15 -- OFF
Sunday -- 01/16 -- Run, Easy 4 miles, Stretch (I will be running the 1st 4 miles of the Phoenix Rock n' Roll 1/2 Marathon this day. I was supposed to do the full half but an early winter injury and illness required a lot of unplanned time off. I just hope I don't get excited and try to do more than 4!)

I follow your blog and I'm actually insanely curious to know about your training schedules... I'm also a big planner and though I trot along at a much slower pace, would love a sneak peek at how you do your thang :)
Sweet! Feel free to borrow my plans! Are you running any races in the near future? I'm actually going to come home for the Runnin' of the Green Island 4-miler in March (see my race calendar); you should run it too and then we can get a beer afterwards :).
