Week 15 of 16
Taper continues and I am feeling
fabulous. Absolutely fabulous.
Honestly after the 2016 I had, training
for Miami couldn’t have gone any better.
First of all, I’M NOT INJURED! I
experienced a little lateral knee pain due to IT band tightness here and there
but nothing that a little foam rolling couldn’t fix. I worked hard when I had to work hard. I ran easy with G on days that I was supposed
to run easy. I recovered well and spent
a lot of time with the NormaTec at work.
I ran 18 miles on a freaking treadmill and a 20-miler in the snow. Bring it on Miami. I’m ready.
I have also been weather stalking
like CRAZY! This far out the forecast
changes every hour but I can’t stop checking it. It has become an obsession. Praying the weather gods send us 50 degrees,
low humidity and a light breeze.
Anyways, Tuesday and Wednesday I
ran 3 and 4 miles on the treadmill.
I had a great spin class Thursday night then it was back to the
treadmill Friday morning for my last long run.
Last week I was so excited that my long run was “only” 14 miles. This week I was fully enjoying taper and was so unmotivated to run 10 miles. My
run itself went well—I was distracted by NFL Playoff talk on ESPN and
coverage of the Inauguration but I wore my CoachUp sweatshirt and that sweatshirt made
the run miserable. By the end I could
wring it out. I was so hot.
I got out Saturday morning with
the pup because Saturday afternoon was FitPlan 2017 at work when all the
trainers get together for a few hours of inservice presentations and
discussions. I didn’t think Georgie
would make it all 3 miles with me but she did.
We took our time. Stopped a few
times. She pooped twice. It was great.
Up next… RACE WEEK!!!
Other highlights:
·
BibRave recently partnered with a company that
makes products for running with your dog and I couldn’t be happier for the
opportunity to test out the Stunt Puppy Stunt Runner with Georgie. I actually discovered the brand when I initially
began running with Georgie and they make great, reliable leashes, collars and
harnesses. Full review coming soon…

I’ve been wanting to blog about tips for running
with your dog for a while now and the arrival of our new hands-free leash
inspired me to get it done. In case you
