It felt Amazing over the long weekend to have the time to sit down on my deck underneath an umbrella, overlooking the garden whilst reading literature for pleasure. Balancing school, work, life and running has left little time for reading lately. These are the books that I have read and re-read the last several days. I highly reccomend them all, especially Coach Wooden’s book!
Run and Read Happy! 😍
I’m going to take dance lessons for the first time since college! Swapping sneakers for Capezio ballroom dance shoes. This will be fun exercise, whilst waiting for a non-virtual marathon season! In October, I will hit the track to do my virtual run for a time, but dancing will be so much fun. 😸 Plus, more interviews to come this month!!😻
I have been very busy with school and work, but in the comimg weeks I am hoping to have more up on the run blog with some interviews & workouts. Here are splits from my slow long run this weekend!
In case anyone ever wonders what it is that I do, other than run around all day, my portfolio website is up and running.
I have decided to do a Virtual Marathon this October on a track, and have my dad film me running. 🍷 I am very excited, as we have always made a joke about him running in front of me holding a camera the entire 26.2 miles, for every race all of these years, and now it’s basically happening. 😉 I will actually be training for this marathon, to run well, which is a positive goal to have prepping for my spring season. Then, we will worry about running Boston or LA. 😻Next fall, I do not know how much time my PhD program and working will give me to run, so hopefully races are back this spring and I run fast enough to be happy...🙈Nevertheless, I am looking forward to these upcoming months of running with a specific goal. 😁
I absolutely loved catching up with my friend, who is a well seasoned marathon runner and AMAZING nurse! Here is a link to Mardi's interviews and secrets to being successful in running, fitness, and career! https://www.thatprettyrunner.com/new-blog/2020/7/15/allaboutmarti
