“ EBBS AND FLOWS”

I love the marathon build up, the taper weeks, marathon race day and the post marathon “RUN VACATION”

This is what keeps be fresh, generally injury free, excited and gives me longevity!

The last two weeks have been a vacation away from running…. I was still super active; walking 18 holes on a golf course 4-5x/week, biking and still doing my physio/maintenance work. And work 3x/week which is super active… especially as I age!!

Now on to the next marathon
I have designed an 8 week marathon plan for this. I will run 4x/week- 1 long run, 1 speed workout, 1 easy recovery run and maybe 1 pace run! This is a doable plan for me as I work and golf 4-5x/week! Summer is a great time to be active! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️💃🏿🌞
It will be a good build up to the fall marathon in October .marathon

I will post my marathon maintenance exercise plan in the next few weeks. I could not do this without a maintenance exercise plan!

Nothing Without Effort!

~CROSS TRAINING~

One week after Johnny Miles Marathon I decided I would dust off the old tri bike! Boy, am I glad I did! My legs and cardio were fine… but my lady parts might not agree! Jim and I had a great 40km ride this am. Windy but warm!

The heart doesn’t know if you are running or biking, it just knows it needs to pump the blood to the muscles!

CROSS TRAINING
- keeps the mind and body fresh
- maintains aerobic fitness
- works other muscle groups or works the same muscles in a different way!
- changes up the pounding from one sport to the next
- meet new sport mates and is social
- just plain fun and a great idea!

T’IS THE SEASON… try a whole bunch of different spots this summer season!

EVERY MARATHON IS DIFFERENT…..

I just had to post this pic because it captures just how I (We) felt minutes before the finish at The Johnny Miles Marathon on Sunday!
We felt so happy to finish another marathon feeling strong, to finish what we set out to do that morning, to finish together, to finish on the heels of multiple marathons this spring and to finish having caught up over a nice long Sunday morning run with a friend! And yes…getting a medal and another bib on my WALL is fun too!

Every marathon is different depending on your goal finish time, the weather, your training and whatever life throws at you on that day or in your training cycle, BUT every finish-line feels AMAZING! It is always a sense of accomplishment!

OUT WITH OLD….IN WITH THE NEW! 🏃🏻‍♀️
I guess I have a lot of work to do!

When you like a shoe and it is working for you, don’t change it!
I have been wearing these Nike Tempo Next % since 2022 when I ran my first CIM marathon. Love these

I can get a load of miles out of these shoes and they fit my orthotics!

I have a tough time finding a shoe that works for me and my orthotics. I have a left foot bunionette, old fractured 5th metatarsal, old left big toe fracture, old tib/fib fracture with tibial torsion and left SI joint hyper mobility and old left L5 lumbar disc affecting my glute!

So I don’t train with two different shoe types or rotate my shoes. That doesn’t work for me…. but a lot of people can and do successfully.

This shoe and a lot of physio exercises for my core, feet and glutes keep me on the road!

83 marathons done and more to come!

NOTHING WITHOUT EFFORT! 💪

~MARATHON EVE~
The 129th BOSTON MARATHON is April 21, 2025…MARATHON MONDAY! 🏃🏻‍♀️

It’s a big one tomorrow , my 25th Boston Marathon. Who would have guessed that fateful fall day in Chicago 1999 when I ran my first marathon that it would lead to my first Boston Marathon in 2000!
I was hooked, Boston you have my heart!
I am not done yet!

On the eve of any marathon, but this one in particular, the excitement, nerves and expectation are all kicked into high gear! There is no way around it!
I have my BQ for 2026 ….so no pressure right…. Wrong! I think you always put pressure on yourself no matter what! So give it your best with what you have that day!
NOTHING WITHOUT EFFORT!
