Moving with Purpose

Moving with Purpose This is MY journey. My goal is to help and inspire others who struggle with themselves and with staying consistent. 2021 Update:

Runner since May 2012. Lets Go!

Here I will document my journey of weight loss, weight maintenance and training for my second half marathon after two hip repair surgeries (the second having been done on June 19, 2020).

I was supposed to run a 10k this morning in the southern tier but Noahs basketball team made it to the championship game which is today so we could not go, however, i still earned my swag because I still ran it…. Definitely tougher inside. I wanted to quit at mile 3 and then again mile 4. I kept having to stop bc i had gas bubbles in my chest. God those are annoying. But 6.1 is done. Now to go watch my son and his team fight for the final win. Noahs never made it to the championship game in all the years hes been playing (3rd grade). He deserves a win today.

Beautiful afternoon sun. I set out to do more than 3 miles today because Im lacking in miles this week, but my body had other plans. I could not get that tightness/pressure out of my chest. I was struggling to take deep breaths. My HR showed i was in the red for over half the run. Whats been my easy pace was difficult today. The stress of the last 10 days is showing. Gram is supposed to come home today. She still has healing to do but hopefully it will be easier to do that at home. Tomorrow is a new day. Tomorrow I will get up and run again.

This is what happens when the last 7 days have been just an emotional roller coaster with today being the icing on the cake. I ran and pushed so my head and heart would not explode on me. I took it out in the pavement then cried in the car. I know everything is in Gods hand and I am leaning into him like never before. Everything will work out according to his plan. It has to. I know a lot of you dont believe, but no matter what happens I do and always will because he has made ways in my life that I thought were impossible.

Ended February with 52 miles. The head wind was atrocious. I wanted to beat January but this week had other plans for me. But today I ran with my thoughts on as she finishes her first week long round of treatment. I hope everyone gets out in the sun today. .and.macros

That speedwork was atrocious. I’m doing it home the next two weeks to take noah to basketball. It was 1200s. First i messed up my app and forgot to hit repeat after 1200/200. So i stopped to redo it again after i did one. I finished the second 1200 and almost slipped and fell a few times bc its snowing ans the ground is covered in snow and rain. I felt my stride becoming uneven and pulling in the front of my left hip so i only did two and just added extra cooldown to get to 4 miles. Oh well im still proud of those 1200s bc it was outside pace. I also hit over 100 miles already for the year. I’m so over the snow. ❄️ .and.macros

Aside from stopping to fuel half way thru, this is the longest run Ive kept this pace for. Mile 2-3 were hills. My legs felt pretty strong and was suprised to see my pace pick up after getting thru hills. Next week I will remember to fuel before beforehand. I definitely felt a difference after I stopped to eat something. Happy Saturday 🥰

I did not want to do it today, but i did anyways. .and.macros

More trail miles. Today was hard compared to yesterday. The rain is changing the compaction of the snow, which made me slow down so I didn’t kill myself.
