Tiny Thunder Running

So incredibly sorry for missing last week!! I took a week of rest and I guess the week got away from me- I really hate when that happens. I am back with some inspiration and hope that each of you find one little bit of inspiration out of this post. via via via via via via Enjoy the rest of the week!! Who is running long- training or race? What about other fitness competitions/events?

With a 7 year old. Yes. You read that correctly. And let me give you the back story. Back when my family was all together at Christmas, we found out that The Color Run was coming to Hershey, PA (25 minutes from us- YAY!!). I had previously mentioned this to my nephew so we discussed whether he was still interested- he was! I told him I would pay for his entry as part of his birthday gift since the race was about a week and a half after he turned 7. So much excitement. Fast forward a few weeks- I find out that another race that I really enjoyed and my nephew liked the sound of, Manheim Rock N Glow, was going to be that same day but in the evening. I told my nephew the news thinking he would be bummed that we couldn’t do both… nope!! What does he say? “So that means we could do one in the morning and one at night?” I laughed but told him if he really wanted to, we would. I even made him a nifty countdown calendar so he wouldn't have to keep asking and coul...

I apologize for the lack of posts lately.. you know this little thing called life? Yea, sometimes it takes precedence, but I am back (at least for now!). Without further a due, I present some inspiration! via via via via via Don't quit, keep going, and give it all you've got. I need these reminders like crazy as I move forward with my training and pushing myself to get back to where I was pre-stress fracture. Don't worry, we've got this!!! What is the most difficult part of sticking with your training or eating plan??

Some weeks it truly amazes me how QUICKLY the days seem to drag yet fly all at the same time. If you have been trapped inside due to rain (like me!!)  you might be fighting the feeling to skip workouts. Have no fear.. your inspiration is here. No matter what you have to do- fit it in. Find a group class, something on youtube, whatever works for you!! via via via via via via Hope that these words and pictures hit you in the right spot to push yourself to the next level... whatever that might mean to you and your journey. 

Still hanging in there,  guys.  I have been to the doctor's twice now and the grand final word was this: I did in fact have a pretty bad stress fracture (which I believe given the pain I was in post race). Because I am so badass (read: stubborn) I dealt through the pain and took 2 months to go to the doc.  Oops. By the time I went,  the fracture was almost healed but because I was still doing occasional running,  I kept undoing the healing process too. Any way, I was ordered to 4 more weeks of low impact activity (aka no running) and a follow up on valentines day. Hoping I feel the love and am cleared to run.  It has been tough but my hubs also had surgery last Thursday so sadly I have had so little energy to even think about it. The huge bummer about this is I was working on the dailyburn #db15 challenges and really enjoying it.  Hoping to do something on daily burn in a little though.  I need to sweet it out like nobody's business.  I pl...
