Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

It was another interesting week around here. I went into it with the best intentions, but it didn't all play out as planned. Still, it was better than last week! I just felt like we took two steps forward, one step back (a few times!) At least we're moving in the right direction!

How To Schedule Rest Days From Running

Rest days from running. We all know they are important (hopefully!) but some of us like them less than others. Personally, I look forward to rest days but I don't actually like how I feel on the days I don't run or work out. But I know that they help me to recover and run better on my hard days. One question runners often have is how to schedule rest days from running. How many rest days a week should a runner take? ... Read the Post...

Sometimes I Just Don’t Feel Like Running

Sometimes I just don't feel like running, especially when I'm sick. This week I wasn't feeling well and was stressed and emotionally drained, so I took most of the week off of running.

When I left off last week I was talking about how we were adjusting to our new routine, but that came to a halt this week when Grayson and I were both sick. It was a rough week with very few workouts. Sometimes I just don't feel like running, and this was one of those weeks. Over the past couple of years I've been much better about just resting when I don't feel well, and this week was no exception. Weekly Run Down: ... Read the Post...

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?

15 miles, over 1,100 feet of elevation gain, and 9 15 miles, over 1,100 feet of elevation gain, and 91% humidity 🫠 Pretty sure that was harder than my race last weekend, but got it done. Now off to my second workout of the day- taking the kids to an outdoor fun park. RIP to my legs. 
What are you up to this weekend?
