well luckily I’ve dodged this sniffles/boogie bug my two dudes have but I’m talking about the RUNNING BUG! Just finished a 37.5 mile week. My HIGHEST mileage week since September 2013! Feeling pretty amazing! My hip was a rockstar all week but today (my rest day) was kinda pissed at me. I did my strength exercise like a good lil patient – I know I pushed too much. Too much too soon “TMTS”. I’m a repeat offender. but yesterday was supposed to be an easy 3 miles but I got to get out in the 45* weather (fluke for Boston weather in January!) and it just felt too good and too easy to stop! Need to practice PATIENCE and not run more than I should! Argh so tempting. Don’t we all feel like that?!
Today was my off day – I went to work and they didn’t need me so I had a few mins to myself – got to go to Marathon sports to grab some new kicks! My Brooks Ghosts ate still a good choice. I’m psyched cause I love them. So I snagged a fresh new pair of 7s in hot pink to start rotating in since my 6s have about 250 miles on them.
So so back to this bug – I registered for a Hyannis Half marathon on cape cod for February 22nd! Hoping that gives me a lil racing fix for a while. 😝 my sister is training for Boston, running for a charity and I am having serious runners envy. boston is my dream. Life goal : to BQ! (I saw this years BAA jacket and I’m having a hard time forgetting about it- I’ll just have to buy it for my sis 💙)
I’ve been looking into marathons in May possibly. Maybe Vermont City Marathon? Heard great things! We will see. This year I need to focus on strength 💪💪💪💪
