I am a Runner
After so many years of not consistently running; moving in with my now husband, getting engaged, getting married, enjoying being married then kids. I find myself having to remind myself that I AM A RUNNER.
Even if I run slow, even if I have runs where I walk more than I run, even if I have bad training months, whether I finish first or last in a race (I have finished last lol) whether I run a marathon in 3 hours or 7 hours….I ran it…..I am a Runner.
For some reason now, I don’t know if it’s tackling the marathon or maybe having had kids, but I seem to be much harder on myself than I was 5 years ago when I was running. If I have a bad run or a run where I’m really tired or even a bad month of runs suddenly I think I’m not a good enough runner. I don’t remember ever feeling like that when I was training for half marathons before kids.
I think it might be because this has been such a bad month with my kids sleep and my stomach issues that I feel like I’ve backslid in my training a little. But I don’t ever want to be a perfectionist. So I have to continually remind myself that there will be seasons in life where it just doesn’t go the way I want it to.
But I am STILL a runner!!!!!
Weekly Workouts
My kids sleep has been HORRIBLE the past 2 weeks and it is catching up with me. Almost every night I have been up between 2-4 hours with one or both my kids. We have had teething and sleep regressions and who knows what. And for half that time my husband was out of town. I stayed with my in-laws then my mom came to town to help but in the middle of the night it was all me. I am so tired and so frustrated. One day we will get back to normal…….I hope…….please.

Weekly Workouts
Sunday – OFF
Monday – 1 mile……I have been having some stomach issues the last 4 days so even this was a slog.
Tuesday – 2 miles. Ran this after I put the baby to bed. It was actually pretty nice outside but I ate way too much dinner so I was really bloated and uncomfortable on this one.
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday – OFF still having stomach issues and feeling a bit run down from it.
Saturday – 12 miles!!!! Got it done! I slept in the tiniest bit so it got a bit hot. I stopped halfway and the farmers market and refilled my water bottle with strawberry lemonade hahahaha and ate extra energy gels to combat the sweat loss and a system that was probably already a little out of wack from all the stomach stuff. It is VERY slowly improving.
Total miles -15
Weekly Workouts
NOTHING!!!!!
Ok not nothing, I did a 1.5-2 mile walk with the kids in the stroller pretty much every day but I was feeling really tired and a smidge burned out after almost 3 months of building back up after pregnancy and then starting marathon training so I took a week off and enjoyed my sleep in day on Saturday. I slept for 12 hours! I needed it. Now it’s time to get back to it.

The longer my mileage gets the less I want to press play on any kind of strength training. I need to start finding shorter strength workouts as my mileage increases. I can go back to 30 minutes strength workouts after the marathon.
