Weekly Goals and Injury Update

Here we are going on week 3 of injury and no running and it isn’t looking like an end is in sight. I am being smart and not trying to push too fast to get back. Some days are better but other days aren’t great. Despite this the past week went pretty well…

Fitness Accomplishments
  • Morning workouts Monday through Saturday
  • P90X3 x 6 days
  • 3 days on bike, 2 days elliptical, 1 rower workout
  • 3 pull ups in a row!
  • Read more about Maffetone Training, Yep, found more info and think this is my plan



Non Fitness Accomplishments
  • Stick with meal plan this week We did great!
  • Blog 4 days Only got in 3 days
  • Finished Christmas shopping!
  • Research low carb, high fat, high protein diet for vegans. Taking a little time to look at every aspect of my life to see how it might improve my running. Still researching


This week will be similar with a focus on heathy eating, which will be tougher since I have plans for meals out 2-3 times. Stick with early morning workouts and get in a couple days of doubles.

Fitness Goals
  • Morning workouts daily
  • P90X3 x 7 days, I’m on Week 9!
  • Swim

    Wow- you got in a lot of activity without running, I'm impressed!! Hang in there- take your time and let it fully recover so you don't have to deal with this again for a long, long time! :)

    Making a list of your goals is indeed a wise decision. It will help you to be more accurate with your priorities and keep track of the goals you've accomplished on time, for the betterment of your athletic goals, as well as for the improvement of your injury. I hope a lot of bloggers who will get to read this will do the same. Thank you for sharing! Feel better soon!

A few Races...

Stillwater half was my final pre-marathon race. The weather was a mess, hot humid and gross! I ran with the 1:40 pacer to keep a nice pace and actually held myself back the first haf but yikes then we turned to the road and no shade and it all faded! I struggled to keep the "easy" pace as did everyone around me. I was happy to finish just 45 secs behind the pacer 1:40:45 and not too far off my goal of 1:38. That heat was brutal... Photo credit Stillwater Gazette Grandmas Marathon  For those who don't follow me on IG  @marathonmom28  here is the short version... I started great, on pace to PR then I became hypothermic (yes in June) and once the rain started it was painful (thank you Raynaud's). I finally walked off the course between mile 19-20 where Matt met me with dry clothes and a warm car. Grandmas this is strike 3, I think I am done!  I spent the car ride home thinking of next races and wondering if I could jump back in, (dumb I know). As we drove...

GoMacro Thrive Review and Giveaway!

Needing gluten free makes finding healthy foods quick even tougher. I have my go to foods but love finding new options with such variety. I think my only complaint is the carb to protein ratio which for each bar is 3 or 4:1. I prefer a snack more along the 2:1 carb to protein ratio. To help this I add a few extra nuts to the bars when I have them for a snack, problem solved! Like all GoMacro products, Thrive are USDA-Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, Gluten-Free certified, 100% Vegan, and soy-free.
