I wouldn’t run anymore. You won’t lose anything in terms of being ready for the marathon and if anything you’ll end up with super fresh days. RICE should help clear it up so that you can get to the start line with no pain.

Too much sista!!!!! Cut that way down in the next two weeks!!!! Like weekly total in half next week, and to 35 or so including the marathon on race week. Only my opinion here…

JUST found your blog and I will be keeping up with it now!!!! Love your picture across the top!!!! XOXO

Comment on The Muddy Sneaker 20k Trail Race by Ana-Maria

Welcome back!
Trail races such as the one you ran, with crazy elevations, are notorious for frustrating me – how can I run so slow (10-13min/miles), when on the road 8-8:30 is comfortable? I’ve learned not to focus on my pace at all, even leave my Garmin at home, and just focus on having fun and enjoying the race. Sounds like that’s what you did, too! Congrats! Ana-Maria

I think everyone has a personal definition of what “in shape” means. For some it is being a certain weight, for others it’s a single sport or multiple sports. I think for me being in shape means feeling energetic and happy – when I do to much, I get exhausted.

I, too, have started swimming recently and I, too, dreaded it at the begining. However, I have grown to like it. It is meditative and it clears the mind. While I solve problems when I run, I only focus on breathing and counting the laps when I swim. The combo it’s been good for body and soul.
So keep up with the swimming. You’ll come to enjoy it:) Ana-Maria
