Time flies! We’re halfway through our 40-day journey to our better selves!
We have 2 new challengers on board!
Welcome Erin and Melissa!
I am on SPRING BREAK in Florida so I’ve been a slacker in getting around to see how everyone’s doing. I do know that many of you have been:
Knocking it out of the park on corework
Rocking some great races
Toning up and dropping weight
Logging some serious training mileage
Personally I think I’m guilty of rowing this boat to success a little too hard. I pushed hard out of the injury gate in a dire attempt to get back on track and was rewarded with yet another of the kids’ sludges du jour almost immediately after recovering from the first one.
Sore throat aside, I’ve succeeded in getting a 20- and a 21-miler on the books and my speedwork is coming around. After spending 4 weeks in the pool rehabbing my achilles it’s amazing how much physical impact running has on my body that I’d never realized. I am happy to say that recovery from this last 21 miler was very quick. I am slow but I am encouraged by my progress.
Congrats on the long runs, keep up the good work!
Great job getting back on track!!
awesome job bouncing back. you are such a trooper! enjoy the rest of your spring break 🙂
Hi Marcia,
Good job on getting those longer runs in:) I hope you are having a great time in Florida on spring break!!
Glad you are coming back quickly! I'm sure that makes you feel relieved.
Enjoy Florida!
Do you (or any of your followers) know how to get the stink out of technical fabrics if you have a washing machine that requires you to use a high efficiency detergent?
Help!
I am stinky!
Way to go on the long runs. Enjoy Florida!!
I'm busy keeping my miles up while trying to get a little faster.
Nice job getting those long runs into your schedule, hope your throat is better.
I'm working on planks this week. ugh. I hate them.
It seems everyone is on Spring Break. I'm jealous. Hope you have a great time in FLA!
Well, I got the call that my dress came in today. Thank goodness the reason I missed the call was because I was on the treadmill and that I don't have to try it on for another month and a half. It's coming along…I'm really just trying to focus.
Enjoy Florida!
Glad you are feeling encouraged!
enjoy your vacation!!
Great job keeping up with the miles!! 🙂
Don't we all push too hard at times?! I think runners are particularly guilty of that. It's the nature of the beast. But it's kind of fun to find out exactly how far we can push ourselves until we break.
Hope you're having a great time in Florida!
Wow..enjoy your time in Florida! My corework, unfortunately, has not been consistent since I increased my mileage, but that is okay. I will keep working on it!
It can be so hard to stop yourself from doing something that you truly enjoy. Pool time is great for getting things back into place. Enjoy Florida.
Last summer I got in an 18 miler in the Florida heat on vacation. Great job keeping up while on break. Those runs make the difference and give you that hard edge on race day.
Enjoy your vacation, how fun!
Aloha!;-) just wanted to say hi and have fun in Florida!! Our vaca here in Hawaii has simply been the best;-)
Great long runs! Enjoy Florida, I'm mega jealous over here 🙂 Tell us about your trip when you get the chance I'd love to hear about it!
Excellent news on the recovery. On the flip side, sadly I have been remiss on the challenge. I should be banned altogether for my poor showing.
Enjoy your vacation! Sorry to hear about getting the crud again. I'm hoping it is finally over in our house!
Great work on your long runs. Keep it up!
I am very glad to see your doing well. I wish you the best in your training and all. Looks as if you are having a great time though. As far as physical impact, as my base building continues I can feel some difference but not much, just goes away in a few hours after. is this normal? Take care.
You are doing GREAT! Way to bounce back strong, but I hope you can keep the sickness at bay.
Doing well here… I feel fantastic. Pounds are coming off (slowly) and miles are getting FASTER!
Halfway there and still not another trail 50k! Ugh. Life gets in the way but I am still keeping my training up and looking for one close enough to fit in the opportunity window! 20 days to make it happen!
