Can’t help it. I’m depressed tonight. I tried to run/walk again tonight, and the hip really isn’t better. I know I go through these cycles “I think it’s better! No, not really. Maybe?! Etc.” — but this is getting old & I really feel that if I’ve made any progress, it’s been minimal.
Sigh. I really feel lost & sort of empty.
Training has gone a little better since my last post, so that’s great! I did just two workouts written from Chris this week. We’re specifically taking it easy as I’m not ready to jump into anything defined yet, either physically or mentally. The first workout was a 7.5 miler with a progression HR build. I’ve…
My achilles can handle the stress of running every other day. As I told Nate, “I can get somewhere on every other day”. (said with a huge grin on my face) (vs. my previous weeks where there where sporadic test runs of less than 8 miles) SO EXCITED to be healing! But, as Steve warns,…

There has been more up and down the last two weeks, but that might be expected when things are somewhat dependent on Greta enjoying the stroller…
This is what happens when your legs aren’t ready. Perhaps my worst race in more than 3 years. I have never hurt so early in a marathon; at 16 miles I went up a slight incline and realized that my legs were already feeling very shredded. Oh, no…. The last 6 or so miles were…
I’m exhausted! I have no reason to be — I’ve been sleeping decently (well, decent by my weekday standards, which probably aren’t that decent) and haven’t been running or skiing hard. My only guess is that I came back after the marathon too quickly. Last Thursday I noticed that I was a little dizzy after…
