Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

Today I went to the gym and did 4.5 miles on the elliptical for 50 mins and rolled out my muscles. Feeling on the upswing. Legs are less sore this time than they were for the Hobble Half. Excited to do another race in the near future. This week will be easy cross training, and then I'll start incorporating some easy miles next week for a reverse taper. Should be fun!

3 mile hilly walk today. Off set that by eating a loaf of pumpkin bread when I got home. It looks like my appetite is back.  Legs are 95% back. Can't wait to start running again!

I went to the gym early this morning for some cross training. The treadmill was staring me down, but I didn't give in. Instead I did 2 miles on the elliptical with 5x1 minute pickups. After that I did 1 mile on the row machine (10 mins) and core exercises. Rolled out my muscles, iced and used the tens unit on sore spots. I wonder if everyone always has an achy area after a marathon?

This morning I took the kids on a hike by the temple with little buddy on my back. Hiked about 2 miles total but took forever. Easy run of 5-6 planned for Monday and throughout the week. I think I'll start some pickups the week after that then back to tempos and intervals. This cross training is soooo boring.
