This post is going to be my weekly tracker, so I'll be updating it through the week. I don't really expect anyone else to comment - this is an easy location for me.

I got on the scale last week and I was +15 lbs from where I was a year ago. Next weigh in is tonorrow. Although the +15 lb has been steady since before Thanksgiving, it means I didn't gain any weight over the holidays. So being up is not good, but not being even higher due to the holidays is good. I'm not celebrating OR beating myself up, just using it as a tool for tracking.

Half marathon in February.

Sunday: Run 3.5 miles, Eliptical 2.5 miles, total 800+ calories (calf pain)
Monday: Run 7.5 miles for 1000 calories, plus some walking (calf pain at start and next day)
Tuesday: 2.5 mile run, 30 min stairs (650 calories). Intense calf pain.
Wednesday (plan): stairs/non-running cardio (intense calf pain)
Thursday - 3 miles at lunch
Friday (plan): intervals
Saturday (plan): Long run - target 8 miles
Sunday (plan): 3-4 miles + elliptical

Do you have a good plan for getting faster?

that's what the interval training is intended to do; you train your body to understand how it feels to go faster.

1 mile at my 5k pace
walk 5-10 min
1 mile at my 5k pace...etc.
