Why I’m not running the Indy Half Marathon tomorrow…
After months of consistent training — through wedding season, book edits, business launches, and patient care marathons — a random tendon pain cropped up two weeks ago.
It was frustrating, as usual.
It slowed me down on my final long run.
It broke my confidence and stole a bit of joy.
But I caught myself before the spiral.
I chose not to let it steal the bigger picture. ✨
I chose to stop.
To not push through.
To rest — just three days.
I chose the quicker healing path.
The harder one for us crazy runners. 😅
Because when I say I help runners run pain-free,
it’s not just something I say.
It’s something I live.
I gave my body the attention it needed — and it got better, faster.
I came to Indy not knowing if I’d race the half or switch to the 5K.
And I chose the 5K. 🙌
So now I’m racing excited tomorrow —
with less risk of reinjury,
more trust in my intuition,
and so much heart. ❤️🔥
I’m aiming to see 18: in my finish time tomorrow — for the first time since 2019!
Right now, I’m meant to run with flow, power, form, and fun.
That’s what elite means to me these days.
✨ Trust the intelligence of your body.
Don’t override it.
Don’t push through pain.
Get in the flow — and let your body give you exactly what you need. 🪽
Good luck to everyone running this weekend! 💓
