Training Tuesday: It’s that time of year
Happy Tuesday! Second week in a row where I’m back to the blog. I love this space to be creative and share my training. Last weeks training went well, but it’s that time of year where I’m mainly stuck indoors! It was cold last week and I was solo parenting (had some help from my mom for a few days and Alex’s parents stopped by for another), but majority of my workouts happened on the treadmill and that’s OK! I can’t believe that it’s already the last week of January and my first race of the year is in just a few weeks! I’m doing a half marathon the beginning of March.
Overall I’m feeling good. My foot started to hurt me last week after I wore an old pair of trail shoes to run in the snow, so I’m trying to give it extra rest and stretch more at the end of the day. I’ve also oddly become an early afternoon runner this winter (mainly because I don’t love running outside in the dark and it’s cold in the mornings). I’m starting to get my new shoe rotation for the next year (I normally rotate between several shoes over the course of a year). I can’t say I’ve ever ‘loved’ a pair of running shoes until now- I picked the New Balance fresh foam 1080s up at our local running store (Stateline Sports in White River for anyone local) and the latest version is incredible. They are similar in cushion to my Hoka Clifton’s, but honestly- they feel so much better.
