    I love Pinterest again lately! So great when I want to find recipes, especially different ones for Passover. Here’s my link – http://www.pinterest.com/cookiechrunicle…I‘ll be cooking/baking a bit today for Passover but nothing crazy, I am honestly not in the mood to work too hard in the kitchen!

      Pinterest is the best search engine for recipes, I think. I love being able to see the pictures and a description before clicking the link!

    So much good stuff here! I need to start being consistent with pinterest, I’ll pin a bunch of things one day and then not look at it for months, but it’s such a great tool I need to really use it.

      I do the same thing too, but I do try to remember to pin posts as I am reading them. That’s my favorite way to save recipes now! I should probably have a board just for your recipes:)

    I like your from recovery to training post! I don’t remember seeing that one before, but I think I’m going to need it soon. It already feels like forever since I’ve been seriously training for anything, especially with all these extra rest days for the hip.

      I know what you mean, and its tricky especially when coming back from an injury. Glad you were able to find something you like!

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?
