When Nothing Goes Right, Go Left

You know that feeling when nothing seems to be going right? That seems to be me and running lately. Click post for more about my workouts last week and where I stand with blisters and injuries.

I saw this quote on Pinterest this week and it kind of stuck with me. "When Nothing Goes Right, Go Left". You know that feeling when nothing seems to go right? Yea, that seems to be me and running lately. If it's not one thing it's something else. Let's back up to where I left off with the blister last week.  Blister Update I didn't run or work out at all last weekend for fear or making the blister worse. By ... Read the Post...

Runfessions of Running Mistakes and Negative Feelings

I always feel better after writing these posts! Runfessions of Running Mistakes and Negative Feelings 1. Blister Confessions After thinking this through a bit I need to confess that I was pretty stupid about the blister I got last week. I ... Read the Post...

Month in Review: June 2017

easton run

How is June coming to an end already? I just looked back on my review of May and realized I never set any new goals after feeling like it was time to move on from my spring ones. That's ok though. I still feel like I had enough to focus on this month. I did write about what I'm doing to put myself back together. This includes strength training, Rolfing, trying orthotics, working on mobility, and searching for the right ... Read the Post...

The Weekly Wrap: It’s Always Something

This would have been a great week for running if it weren't for a nasty blister I got after one of my really humid runs. Lately it feels like if its not one thing, its something else keeping me from running!

This week started out well but ended not so great. If you follow me on Instagram you may have already read about my blister saga. I'll explain more as I go through the week, but it's always something, right? Oh, and I also broke the bracket of my Garmin which holds the band in place. I am sending it in for repairs because it's still under warranty and there is a tiny crack on the screen that would be nice to have fixed. ... Read the Post...

Spent almost every step of this 21 mile run questi Spent almost every step of this 21 mile run questioning my life choices. Like waking up at 3am to run 12 miles on the treadmill and 9 outside. This was a crazy week with a kid that wasn’t sleeping great and fighting a cold and super busy days at work. My legs were just tired the whole time today. It was really hard to run outside after so many treadmill miles and my pace was much slower than inside.

I reminded myself that this is peak week. It’s supposed to feel hard. If it was easy everyone would do it. I ran 53 miles this week and am not injured. The weather is perfect. I’ve gotten in every planned run of this training cycle so far.  I get to do this. 

And I managed to finish strong with my last 3 miles the fastest of the (outside) run. I owe that to a solid fueling plan and taking all my gels even when I really didn’t want to.

3 weeks to go until race day!

Yesterday’s long run was followed immediately by Yesterday’s long run was followed immediately by back to back kid activities, so there was no time to post about it. (I ate breakfast in the car and lunch at soccer practice- it was that kind of a day.) I was kind of nervous going in to this run, especially now that I’m getting down to last few key long runs. I had 16 miles with 4 x 2 miles on the plan, which sounded manageable but also challenging. The weather was perfect and I hit all my paces. At the end I got a little confused- thinking I was at 15 miles but I was actually at 14 🙃 Got home and realized I chafed really bad. Another long run down, and another week closer to race day.

Do you ever psych yourself out before long runs?

1 month to go! Who else is just trying to survive 1 month to go! Who else is just trying to survive the peak weeks of marathon training? #running #marathontraining
You don’t know the life of a runnergirl, babe. J You don’t know the life of a runnergirl, babe. Just living that 3:30am alarm clock life and chugging gels like it’s my job. #longrun #marathontraining #lifeofashowgirl
