Whining: to snivel or complain in a peevish, self-pitying way
So I have this wicked awesome schedule that has me xc ski camping, running 2 haf marys then Boston all during the final weeks of the OS...
Camping was great and had good weather and conditions but I missed 3 day of training before going cause I have trouble deciding what to bring and how to pack. Then the trip is 5 day - all aerobic but not in a way that gets me to Boston. When I get back I need 3 days to recover. In the end I hadn't run in 12 days and it was 14 day before I got on my bike. WAAAAA!
My first run is a long one - 18 miles. HR way too high from the beginning and pace was slow. Suffering started at mile 13. 2 days later I can hardly walk - felt like I did after my first marathon. WAAAAAAA!
I realize most of the soreness is from downhills - too much treadmill running got me soft.
In my defense, I did manage to run 6.5 doing hill repeats Tuesday and then a 10 mile tempo run Wednesday. But Thursday I tried to bike but it just sucked - I couldnt even get to 90% let alone do an interval..... all I could manage was 55 minutes at 80%.... more WAAAAA!
OK, I'm done for now.....Next?

Hey Steve-
I love whining. It definitely serves a purpose. This is a perfect thread and could actually work as comic relief
. I hope you feel better now. All of your issues are so legit and would make me whine too!!
