Focus On The Things You Can Control

When life gets frustrating, it get be helpful to focus on what you can control. By doing things to help us reach our goals, it can help to avoid feelings of helplessness. Click post for more about focusing on what you can control.

After last weekend I had a bit of a shift in my mindset about my foot injury. I started to think about the things I can control to help it to heal as quickly as possible. Not only that, but I am also trying to get back to some habits that will help my overall health- the ones that I actually do better with when I am following a training plan. I needed this reminder: Focus on the things you can control. Focus on the ... Read the Post...

5 Reasons Foot Injuries are the Worst

foot injuries are the worst

I know I am a little biased because I am currently dealing with a foot issue, but I have found that this type of injury is particularly challenging to manage. I know there are many worse things that foot injuries, but please allow my frustrated injured self to be dramatic for a moment.  I'll explain why I feel this way in a minute, but first I wanted to back up a bit and talk about what we think is going on with my ...

A Look Back at July 2016

july

Now that we are a few days into August, it's time for me to reflect on how I did with my goals during the month of July. Due to this foot injury, I really didn't work towards most of my goals. I still think it's worth looking back on the month anyway. I feel like this whole spring and summer I have just been "waiting" for things....like for the weather to warm up (which eventually it did), for my foot to heal (which is ... Read the Post...

Summer Vacation Week 2016

vacation dinner

Well just like that, my vacation week is over and so is July. My workouts definitely took a backseat last week, so I'll recap the week in general rather than just focusing on my workouts. It was one of those weeks where you don't even really know what day it is, so we'll see how well I even remember what happened! In case you missed it, last week while I was away Sam wrote a guest post about running shoe myths and Suzy ... Read the Post...

15 mile long run workout this morning! Honestly, e 15 mile long run workout this morning! Honestly, every step of this felt challenging, so I’m pretty happy that I still hit my paces. I’m going to blame it on the humidity. WHY is it still so warm and humid when it’s almost October 😩🥵 I made the mistake of leaving my hair in a ponytail so of course it was a tangled mess by the time I was done. When will I learn? Just glad I got this done to wrap up week 9 of @richmondmarathon training! Is it still humid where you are? #run #marathontraining #richmondmarathon #longrun
Yesterday’s’ long run was 16 miles with 6 x 1 Yesterday’s’ long run was 16 miles with 6 x 1 mile MP/1 mile easy. I took a few hours of PTO in the morning to do this on the trail because I knew wouldn’t be able to do it this weekend. This was my first time on the trail since my marathon last November. It was nice to be back there and the perfect place to do this kind of long run. It was the kind of run where you start thinking “ok cool I just did a tough MP workout” but then you remember you actually need to run 26 miles in a row at that pace. Luckily there’s still 9 more weeks of training…although that doesn’t really sound like that much!
41 miles for the week and got in 2 strength sessions. Taking it easy this weekend other than chasing the kids around for all their activities! #run #marathontraining #longrun
It’s kind of freeing to not care about pace. It It’s kind of freeing to not care about pace. It is a little frustrating to have to plan more time for an easy run. But it’s definitely worth it to recover quicker and feel better on workout days! #run #marathongtraining #easyrun
You know marathon training is starting to get real You know marathon training is starting to get real when you start losing track of what training week it is. I had to check my calendar but this was week 6, so 10 weeks to go! 

I ran the Charles Street 12 last weekend so this week was all about easy miles and recovering from the race. That went well until I went and ran all the hills yesterday followed by walking around a maze and fun park for 5 hours. I got in some strength and mobility this morning and now I’m back to focusing on recovery!

If you’re training for a race how many weeks do you have left?
