This is an open thread for those who are training for a race of any shape or kind. Post your training regime for this week and come back to report on your progress. Got a question on training, walking, running, biking, swimming or anything to do with race preparation? Post it here - someone will know the answer!

So sorry to have flaked out nearly two weeks in a row. It's been kind of grizzly the past 10 days or so between deadlines, illness, "female timing" and all the rest. Thanks to Hillary for giving me a gentle reminder on Elisa's music thread, and my sincerest apologies!
