Summer schedule

So I finally committed to a few races this spring/summer. AND IM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THEM. ok. So far the plan is as follows:

Portland 10 miler- April 22nd

Maine Coast half marathon- May 12th

Mad Marathon- July 8th

I have one more half and one more marathon I would like to register for in August and September but the funds currently will not allow this to happen. But in due time my friends.... In due time.

Keeping the 6am 2017 tradition going... get up and run early during a cold snap!! 😳❄️ but #ifnothingchangesnothingchanges This semester requires more hours in the day. #runningkeepsmegrounded #onefootinfrontoftheother #thedreamisfreethehustleissoldseparately

So I took a month off from running after the marathon. I didn’t really mean to. There were a series of events that led me to being stagnant for a month. I am just getting back into a routine and after my third run this week I am FINALLY feeling like my cardio is less mad at me. My legs still feel strong but I was definitely sucking wind the first two runs. It is unreal how quickly the awareness of my body and what I need to do to feel good while training has slipped away during this stressful time in my life. Once again, I feel as though getting back into running has turned that around for me.

My plan is to run the Midwinter Classic in Cape Elizabeth (10 miler). Then continue to train for the Maine Coast Marathon & Half Marathon Challenge 39.3 miles. 

First things first, I need to pick a training plan. 

I can’t control all that life throws my way, but I can control what I do with it. 

Time to get running
