Weekly Roundup 4.17-4.23

 
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.   

Monday Morning No Shows
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!

·      Georgie and I met my parents at Somerset Creamery for my first waffle cone of the year!

  5. Our premium athletic sweatshirt will keep you warm and comfortable while performing at your best. This sweatshirt is designed for those who are always on the move. The fabric used is of high quality and thus offers warmth and comfort while being breathable as well. The moisture-wicking technology draws sweat off your skin to keep you dry and concentrating on your workouts, training sessions, or simply wearing it for a stroll.

    The sweatshirt flaunts a classic yet chic look. The loose fit makes it the perfect top to layer over your workout gear or to wear it by itself. Soft fleece is lined inside the sweatshirt for added comfort, durability, and long-term wear. The rib cuffs and hem allow flex but do hold their position correctly, while the extra stitching in key areas adds to its durability.

    Venture outdoor while in this athletic sweatshirt for a run, gym session, or simply lounging on your off days; after all, this is where fashion meets versatility. The contrasting fleece interior makes this the perfect throw-on-and-go piece to tie your look together with joggers, leggings, or denim-chic. If you’re in or out of the gym, this sweatshirt is the ultimate comfort and performance solution.
