2018 it’s been interesting. There’s been high highs and crushing lows. But 1700km has allowed for a lot of self reflection, discovery and growth. Here’s to 2019, hopefully with many more miles and memories, and a few more highs and less lows. Too much to aim for a hospital free year?
@improvingovertime tagged me for a selfie! Yesterday was my first proper run in 10 days! I’m taking some much needed down time and trying to recharge the battery’s before my next training cycle
@weirdturned-pro@redheadfl@natemed18 you’re up for a SDS
12km of trail for us this morning. This week has been my highest mileage week in awhile with 52km. It’s been tough, but it’s been good and I’m pleasantly tired and achy this evening.
A mixture of rough track, single trail with some technical tracks and longer, easier stretches. This run is up there with one of my favourite routes.
So one genius slept through her alarms this morning and missed her run and was like a bear with a headache for the morning because of it.
I managed to salvage it this afternoon by tagging on to a friends 10km so got some bonus miles! For once I left the phone behind, enjoyed the conversation and learned that yes I do need a headtorch for late afternoon runs (spot the morning runner!).
Just a short run (plus walking the fog earlier) to make sure I got the minimum number of calories burned today.. I mostly had a lazy day, but I’m not losing my fitness challenge.. 10:40 pace!! That makes me happy. #running #runnersofinstagram #brooksrunning #mothersday #fitmom #backontrack #motherrunner

What a difference 8 weeks of dedication can make?!
This past weekend I celebrated some major fitness wins:
90 min run + walk.
2025 yd lap swim (80 laps).
High output in a 30 min spin class.
My longest distances and highest outputs in over a year happened in the span of 8 short weeks
I started out by doing just 20 mins of each activity but everyday I would wake up eager to get better and here we are today
I’ve also lost more than 16lbs in the process
Now that I’ve got my endurance up, I’m starting to eye a couple of late Summer/ Early Fall races. It’ll involve me doing some open water swims, group rides and runs.
It’s time to train baby! ♀️ ♀️
Today’s workout: 35 min trail run
5 mins core work
10 mins mobility
//
Who’s training for races? What events are on your calendar? I’m looking at a couple Sprint Tri’s in NY.

Breaking news!
I’m not running a marathon this year. I’m not running a half marathon either. Hell I’m not even running a 10k.
I have zero desire to run long distances right now and I’m perfectly okay with that.
//
Before the pandemic hit, I was training for my first half marathon race after having my 2nd child. As much as I tried not to put pressure on myself, I still felt it.
Then I had a knee pain that required physical therapy and I thought “Oh shit.”
Then I kept getting sick thanks to having a little one in preschool bring home all the germs and I thought “Double Oh Shit!”
Then the pandemic hit and I cancelled my race(before they eventually cancelled) and felt relief. Like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.
I decided to take several weeks off and did spinning instead.
When I returned to running, it was in memory of Ahmaud Arbery. A 2.23 mile run that felt way harder than it should’ve. I was slow and felt so out of shape but I missed being outdoors so I decided to try again and again and again. Initially I was paying attention to all the numbers; pace, time, distance and would complain about my run. Then one day I stopped paying attention to the numbers and committed to just showing up for as long as my body felt good and then I would stop. Whether that was at mile 1 mile or mile 3. I would stop and walk home. I did this for a few weeks and something clicked. My mind and body felt better and I started to run stronger.
Instead of coming back from a run feeling defeated, I would come home with a big ole smile on my face and dance around for my cool down.
My runs right now are short and easy but super enjoyable which is exactly what I need them to be. 3-4x a week and having fun
Has your running or training changed during the pandemic?
