Weekly Roundup 7.17-7.23 & 7.24-7.30

 

So a lot has happened in the last two weeks since I last posted.  The biggest news from this week is that I hurt my foot and then I withdrew from Rock ‘n’ Roll Philadelphia.

Last week was pretty good.  In fact I was happy I got to run with the Cape Cod Rehab group AND made it to run club!  It was a rare Tuesday night that literally everyone on my run club friends’ group text was there.  Even the unicorns!

I even ran long on Saturday (10 miles) making it my first double digit run since my hip injury!

The next week I took Monday off and had a hard time getting out the door on Tuesday.  Wednesday my foot hurt and Thursday I struggled to make it a mile with Georgie.

It’s been no secret that I’ve struggled coming back from my hip injury.  Running felt like a chore.  My head wasn’t in it—and neither was my heart.  I thought Philly might be the motivation I needed but it ended up adding more stress.  Timing just isn’t right and this foot thing is a good reason to take a little break from running to recharge both physically and mentally.  I will run the Falmouth Road Race for fun with friends but after that I am going to take some time off from training plans and racing.

Other highlights:

·      I tried crabs!  Totally random and unrelated to running but definitely a highlight of the week worth mentioning.

Upcoming events:

·      3 weeks until the Falmouth Road Race!
