tuesdays on the run: three running wishes

February 21, 2017      5 Comments

I’ll be joining up with My No-Guilt Life, Marcia’s Healthy Slice and MCM Mama Runs for “Tuesdays on The Run”!

Tuesdays on the Run

This week?

Oh. Boy.

It’s fun to think of all the wishes a magical genie might be able to grant.

Genie, I wish for you to fix my throat so I can breathe properly.

What does my throat have to do with running, you ask? Well, when I had my tonsils removed several years ago, there were some serious structural changes that went down. It changed everything, and to this day, I have a hard time swallowing certain foods, and breathing, especially when it’s hot and humid. If there was a way for me to breathe normally and swallow my own spit without effort, the running game would be greatly changed for me.

Genie, I wish to run fast.

I’m not fast. You know that saying about being slower than a turtle running through peanut butter? That’s me. And it’s ok. It is. But it would be really cool to be able to run fast. Even if it’s just once. To be that sustained six-minute-mile blur of speed would be such an incredible feeling.

No matter how hard I train, I just don’t think I’ll see these kinds of paces on my own

Genie, I wish for a money tree just for race entries and travel.

I’m fairly certain we’ve all been here…

And so it would be incredibly sweet to have one of these to help defray the costs.

Shoes, socks, cute outfits, fuel, race registrations, and hotel and travel costs definitely add up. It’s totally worth it and I am good with running being my major entertainment. However, it would be nice not to worry about the prices of things.

What wishes would your running genie grant you?

    OMG, so weird that you mentioned the throats thing. I also had my tonsils removed a few years ago and lately I’ve been experiencing the same feelings I had before I had them removed. Sore throat, can barely talk, swallow, and difficult to breath. I was just thinking today how it was effecting my run. I think my symptoms might be allergy related this time of year, at least I hope. I hope you are able to find some relief for your uncomfortableness.

      Fortunately, sore throats are not something I am experiencing (at least not anymore). I’m very grateful – I haven’t been sick since I had them out, which is amazing. They were holding in so many germs and so much bacteria, and now I’m free of all that. But it’s just changed things and I don’t know that they’ll ever be the same.

      Allergies will absolutely create some problems. I hope you feel better soon.

    That throat issue must be so annoying! Do you always carry drinks with you, to keep things flowing?

    A money tree would be nice…

      No. I actually drink less because of the effort of swallowing sometimes. I’m self-conscious because I feel like I can be really noisy when I swallow (although I’m sure it’s mostly in my head) because I sometimes have to work really hard to get anything down. I try to be grateful because the procedure was so effective and cleared up a lot of my health issues, but the side effects are pretty aggravating. :/

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!

We are supposed to see temps in the 90s this weekend and I am 100% not about it!

I won’t be racing this weekend: instead I’ve got some work, some volunteering, and another event on Sunday. Looking forward to all of it!

Are you running long or racing this weekend? Tell me about it!

This Sunday, I hit up the #womenrunjacksonville ev This Sunday, I hit up the #womenrunjacksonville event at the @theglassfactory, presented by @yelpjacksonville and @market.and.mimosas!

Is it possible to be overwhelmed by so much amazing talent, creativity and awesome woman power? 

From the iconic “my phone eats first” tote to the gorgeous party wall lined with craft mimosas, to the silent disco headphones and all the vendors and food/drink samples! Swoon.

I shopped, ate, drank and chatted my way around the venue, and enjoyed every second of it. What a way to celebrate Women’s History Month, and all of the incredible female entrepreneurs, business owners and bosses in Jax and NE Florida!

Five stars. Would do again in a heartbeat!

35 minutes on the elliptical 👿 with a cool down 35 minutes on the elliptical 👿 with a cool down walk in the beautiful sunshine.

I am not a huge fan of gym equipment like the treadmill or the elliptical: I find it boring and often times awkward. That being said, I’m working through a training plan from @runsmartofficial and trusting the process.

Did you get your fitness inside or out today? How do you feel about the elliptical?

Knock knock! Rolling through another Wednesday of Knock knock!

Rolling through another Wednesday of miles! It was not a great run (i got something in my contact and had to go home to flush it out!) but the company stellar as usual (@montarriba) and future me will say thank you for sticking it out.

I’ve got a busy day with some writing, a few emails and a trip to @danielle904beauty so stay tuned for that glow up!

How is your Wednesday? How are you rolling?

Let’s talk about balance. Balance is an area wh Let’s talk about balance.

Balance is an area where I sometimes struggle, physically and emotionally. It can be a challenge to fit in all the things I want and all the things I need. I don’t always love doing the mundane or tedious tasks that ultimately lead to the foundations of the things I am more passionate about.

I am taking a little more time to build on the basics, and find my balance. It’s going to lead to a healthier and happier me.

How do you find your balance? Do you struggle with the basics?
