Just a little update :)

November 22, 2019 By Lindy 3 Comments

This year, I made the painful decision to not run both the Broad Street Run or the Philadelphia Half Marathon. I was really bummed about not running Broad Street, as it is my favorite race of all-time. I would have run it (if you know me, you’d know that I am stubborn as hell) but chose not to, per the advice from my running coach.

I remained constant with my rehab and training up until June, when my Hailey almost died (you can read some of these shenanigans on my Instagram). Shifted my focus on mental health, because after 16 weeks of veterinarian visits, including two stays in the ICU, I lost my shit.

Main focus was cycling on my Peloton and daily yoga classes. Since I put hundreds of miles on my bike, I thought I would be in great shape to run the Philly Half; I was sooooo wrong! I ran 3 miles this week and felt amazing, but that feeling dissipated quickly. The next morning, I woke up feeling like I got hit by a 2×4! When the pain remained 3 days later, I knew it was time to toss in the towel.

So I won’t be running anything anytime soon. I recently got my Schwinn cycling certification, so my goal at the moment is to heal my body so that I can teach indoor cycling and get back into running consistently. I have a 5K in January, but nothing scheduled until May, as I deferred BSR this year.

Seems I’ve neglected this place lately, but when you haven’t been running, you run out of things to talk about.

Anyway, how’s your year going? Any races coming up?

    Hi, Lindy!! So sorry to read that you are not running for awhile! I’m sure when you get back, you will be stronger than ever!!
    I do have races coming up! The Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day in Cleveland, Ohio, then Disney Princess Weekend in February! Along with Cleveland Rite Aid and Cleveland Rock Hall Half Marathons!
    I also signed up for 4 classes a month with Orange Theory! Sounds like you have been struggling, and I hope things improve for you soon. At least you’re still moving!! Stay Strong!! Your Running Pen Pal. Kathy Aguier

      Hey, I’m so glad to hear you’re doing good and you’re running all these fun races 🙂

      Orange Theory sounds tough. I don’t have one near me or I would try it.

        Hi Lindy!! Yes, Orange Theory was tough! I took my first class last night, and I crushed my time, on the treadmill, 2.2 miles in 30 minutes, which, for me, is super fast! The second half was the rowing machine/weights, which was SUPER tough, weights, push up, and mini cartwheels over the box, having to modify! but I made it!
        I hope you do get one close by, because, knowing you, you would LOVE it! Hope your running is going strong!!! Your Running Pen Pal, Kathy Aguier
