Today was more ice skating than anything else 😱🙄

I’m playing around with the Galloway method (run/walk/run), mostly because I can tell that I’m not totally in a place to up the mileage without injury, and I know that it’s a great injury prevention method. And it didn’t mess with my pace that much, which was surprising to me.

Running in a winter wonderland snowstorm today and loving the peaceful sunset over the mountains. Now time to relax by the fire☺️

Sometimes on Wednesdays it’s rainy and cold and gross so we do a couple of miles of treadmill speed work and then walk home in running pants and hiking boots.

Physically this run felt really good. It was only a couple miles, but there was sprinting involved and I definitely still had gas in the tank at the end. Mentally, though, I just can’t anymore with the treadmill. I’m really gonna need Mother Nature to get on board with my training plan, and I guess in the meantime I’m gonna have to suck it up and run in the rain, ‘cause I just can’t keep staring at that same spot on the gym wall.

Me and Meri chillin’ like villains after my run!

3 miles in 29:25

I ran right at dusk, using up the last few ounces of sunlight. The air was cold, but being the human oven that I am, I needed to unzip my fleece after only a few minutes. I felt pretty sluggish and heavy on this run, but I coached myself through it.

My husband and I are serving in separate branches of the military in separate locations. We’re currently closer than ever before (~3.5 hours), so he’s able to spend most weekends with me at our apartment. To combat the inevitable pangs of sadness I feel every Sunday evening when he leaves, I like to immediately lace up my shoes and go for a run. Even if it’s a semi-shitty run like this one, it helps me channel my sadness into something physical, something therapeutic. And that is invaluable to me now.

W3D2 - solid 45min run, planks, core and some foam rolling. I had NO motivation to go outside since it's 1C, rainy and dark outside. But I managed to do my run anyway and it felt a lot better than I expected it to feel. Ended my workout with the longest minute of the day (aka planks) and finally foam rolling and some other core exercises. Now I'm at home again and ready to enjoy a great dinner and an apple pie smoothie! Side note: I ran 300km this January. 300km. In January. Crazy.
