5 Training Tips For Running Moms

It’s the last Friday of the month, which means it’s time for Runfessions with Marcia’s Healthy Slice!

Let’s get started:

I runfess that I am so freaking excited about the Publix Savannah Women’s Half Marathon’s Particpant Gift.

Every year, in lieu of a race shirt, the Publix Savannah Women’s Half offers a participant gift. I generally rarely wear race shirts (they are either for errands/cleaning, or I make them into a souvenir blanket), so I love getting something different. This year, the gift is a New Balance backpack! I love it and I can’t wait to be seen parading it through the streets of Savannah in a few weeks. Want one of your own? Register here with code PUGS18 and save 15% on the half or 5k!

I runfess that I need to be better about balance.

With my crazy schedule and 4:30AM wake-up times, I runfess that I have hermited a bit. I haven’t wanted to go out or do anything that would require being vertical past 9:00. I need to make the effort to compromise more as there are so many fun events going on and I don’t want to miss out on time with friends and family. It was hard getting up for an 8 miler this morning after a hockey game that didn’t get us home til almost midnight, but it was worth it.

I runfess that I am still not doing great with my water intake.

I can’t help it. NUUN makes it so much better, but I am not great about regularly drinking. In fairness, it’s not just water. I neglect a lot of liquids. I need to increase my efforts.

I runfess that I am pretty proud of my training calendar.

It’s been a LONG time since I’ve been so consistent in my workouts, and I love filling in the days on Strava. I wish that I was better about sticking with some of the challenges I want to start (hello, burpee challenge), but it is what it is.

I runfess that this year has been a little challenging.

I’m a fairly positive person. I like to focus on the positive – I personally feel that a brighter outlook helps me deal with everything better. Sometimes, though, it’s just hard to hold it together for everyone. That being said, I am very grateful for the village we have around us and for my little tribe. Support is everything and we have more of that than ever.

 

Last, but not least, congratulations to Stacie S, the winner of the Publix gift card! Thanks to everyone for entering!

What do you have to runfess?

How has your year been so far?

    That backpack is awesome!
    I have no idea how you do 4:30 am on the regular. I wouldn’t be alive after 9 pm either. Certainly the short days aid in the hermitting. At least for me. Hope things lighten up for you soon!
    I have to runfess that I’m still not back on the running wagon. I need a kick in the pants! (And maybe some running buddies.)

      It is really quite fabulous. The course is awesome, the bling fantastic and I love that it’s a whole destination/weekend event. The expo is lovely, the race and after party is wonderful and on Sunday morning, they hold an outdoor yoga class in one of the squares. It’s nice that they keep the fun going all weekend, instead of just for the duration of the race.

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

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!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
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?!
