Running Form Fitness

Great run this morning. 8 easy miles with my sister, followed by 4 tempo miles on rolling hills and a cool-down mile.

Tempo splits: 6:30, 6:40, 6:42, 6:30.

Humbling and amazing all at once.

After yesterday’s hike, my tendon is definitely letting me know this was a little too much. The balancing act between pushing forward and being smart about recovery is not my favorite game. It’s hard feeling limited by something that seems small but can have a big impact. I just want to run how I want to run… but that’s not always how it works.

So I’m trying to focus on what I can do instead of what I can’t. Just doing my best to get to the Berlin marathon in a place where I can run without damaging my tendon further.

Still enjoyed every mile, especially the hard ones. Those miles have a way of teaching gratitude, patience, and perspective.

These summer runs are giving me life ☀️🏃‍♂️

This week I’ve caught myself comparing where I am now to where I was a year ago. What used to be my everyday run is now my long run. There was a time when running 20 miles at a sub-7:00 pace felt normal.
But after some reflection this morning, all I felt was gratitude.

Of course I miss that level of fitness, and I still hope to get back there someday. But right now, I’m learning to find peace in what I can do instead of focusing on what I used to do. Running may never look exactly the way it once did, and that’s okay. I’ll keep showing up and doing the most I can with the body I’ve been given.

I’m also incredibly grateful for runs with my sister, Cher ❤️ Anyone who knows me knows that running is my happy place, and getting to share those miles with people I love makes it even better.

Happy Friday! What are your weekend plans? We’ve got another lacrosse tournament on deck! 🥍

This morning was pure summer running perfection. ☀️🏃‍♀️

I had the best run with my sister, and between the cool temps, beautiful scenery, and good company, it was one of those runs that fills your cup.

I finished with 2 fast miles, 6:14 and 6:16, and honestly, they felt so good. After dealing with this injury, those miles gave me a little hope that maybe I can run fast again someday.

This injury has been incredibly frustrating. It’s still sore, but it’s noticeably better than it was last week, and I’m hoping that’s a sign things are finally moving in the right direction.

For now, I’m celebrating the small wins, soaking up these summer miles, and staying grateful for every step.

How are the temperatures where you are? Are you loving summer running, or counting down the days until fall?

Happy Global Running Day! 🏃‍♀️✨
