First off, congrats to Stephanie Rothstein Bruce for finishing second at the California International Marathon today! Also - to Tina Muir for finishing fifth overall and earning a personal record. How amazing are these women? I thought it was amazing enough to get up early and rearrange my schedule (not my normal weekend policy) to follow them on athlete tracking. I am so glad I did. Also - congrats to Eric Fernandez on his debut in the marathon. I am in awe and yet inspired by each of you. Some day - I hope to become a marathoner, but for now I will stick with a return to regular running.
Monday - rest - horrid migraine
Tuesday - 3 miles (confirmed evening running is not for me!)
Wednesday - rest
Thursday - workout day (3.66 miles total)
Friday - rest
Saturday - 5.4 miles
The goal was to hit 14 miles, but it was a nasty migraine the prohibited running much the previous week. I was ever so glad it broke and now to prevent it from ever happening again is my goal.
During my run yesterday, I realized how thankful I am to be healthy and to be able to keep things in perspective. Thanksgiving drove that point home and a migraine turns me into a nasty person. I would rather that nasty person never return, but I am content (for now) to have plugged through it.
This week I get to run 6 miles!! I am excited - so excited - that I have a coach, who is willing to work with me and even might switch to morning workouts. I can do PiYo, Pilates, and Yoga in the evenings, but I am just a disaster with running.
Thanksgiving gave me some ideas, which I will share once they are formalized. For now, I am investigating the important pieces and rejoicing about being healthy.
Happy Sunday, all!
