With only 3 weeks until the I’ve got a couple injuries I simply can’t ignore anymore. A strained Achilles tendon in my right foot, and Peroneal Tendonitis in my left calf/ankle, probably due to compensating for the Achilles on the right. Trying to do more than two miles just doesn’t work. UGH. 😣

So what now? Not doing the marathon isn’t an option. and the are counting on me, along with my fellow teammates.

If I learned anything in my fitness life these last 20+ years, and in particular from when I tore up my knee in 2016(first picture) it’s this;

MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AND DO WHAT YOU CAN.

So, that’s what I’m doing.

Shutting down running for at least the next two weeks and subbing in rowing on my and spinning on my Spin bike. AND doing multiple COLD PLUNGES in my tub.

My hope is to maintain “marathon shape” somewhat and then just GUT IT OUT on race day. No quit. ❤️‍🩹💪

Failure.

It’s not always a bad thing. In fact, sometimes it the whole point of the workout.

I decided I needed to add some strength training for my legs into my Chicago marathon Training this week. (Training Provided by !).

I knew it would probably make today’s assigned 800m interval pace pretty tough. Yep it did. I hung on for the first three, but died 3/4 up a hill on #4. I hate not hitting the goal pace, BUT it was expected.

Training for a marathon is a long game. Failure just means I’m pushing myself enough to get stronger.

Kristen Johnson got her phone out with about .3 miles left in my 53K(32.93 miles) Friday and asked me the question I always get asked, “WHY?!?”.

In my exhausted delirium, I tried my best to answer.

There will come a day I won’t be able to do this. But that day isn’t today.

Knees braces from , low impact, cushy shoes from and a little extra support from .
