Is there any #MotivationMonday
better than Marathon Monday?
I spent most of Monday in front of
the TV at work. My 10am Monday class
participants were all no shows, which allowed me to catch the start of the race
and I took an early lunch so I could be home to watch the elites finish.

So for some post-Boston thoughts… Edna is a beast. Desi is a fighter. Meb always inspires. I’m proud of Abdi for placing 6th
overall. I cried with Jordan during her
post-race interview. I felt nerves and
anxiety all morning as if I was running.
I also felt the heartbreak that so many faced with the high temperatures
and less than ideal conditions. Those
external factors that we cannot control are one of the reasons I hate running…
no really, I sometimes hate it. So many trained so hard for 4
or 5 months and were ready to run the race of their life until they got to the
start line and it was 81 degrees. Chasing
the perfect race and perfect conditions is what keeps a lot of us runners running. It’s out there. And I’m so proud of everyone that crossed
that start line and gave it everything.
As for me… I didn’t run all
week. I didn’t even take Georgie for a
walk. I tried spinning on Thursday and
aggravated my hip jumping on the pool deck during Power Water.
The good news of the week is that I
started physical therapy with Kathy first thing Friday morning! I am so thankful to work for such a great
company. Kathy is the co-owner of Cape Cod Rehab and she spent almost two hours with me evaluating and treating with
ultrasound, e-stim, massage, soft tissue mobilization and kinesiotaping.
Friday night I went back to work
to swim laps. Kathy told me to do light
water walking but I needed to get in some cardio. I stayed in for 100 laps of our 46 foot pool
then went back on Saturday afternoon for 30 minutes of deep water walk/running. I was proud of my two trips to the pool but
Kathy said I overdid it. Oops!
