  • ‘CHOOSE STRETCHING OVER STRESSING.’ —Unknown⠀ .⠀ Before my injury, I never (ever) stretched, and these days it feels like stretching is the ONLY thing I do, lol. ⠀ .⠀ I’ve become one of those weird foam-rolling runners who spends 15+ minutes doing glute bridges, hip abductions, and eccentric calf raises pre-run, and I’ve started to love my @hyperice #hypervolt more than life itself.⠀ .⠀ I don’t even know who I am these days… 😩
  • ⠀ .⠀ ‘THERE IS A CALMNESS TO A LIFE LIVED IN GRATITUDE, A QUIET JOY.’ —Ralph Blum⠀ .⠀ 5 things I’m grateful for today:⠀ .⠀ ✔️Coffee.⠀ .⠀ ✔️Morning snuggles with my 2 favorite humans.⠀ .⠀ ✔️I’ve run 5K without stopping 3x this week!⠀ .⠀ ✔️It’s a DATE NIGHT!⠀ .⠀ ✔️Wine. Obviously. .⠀ 👇What are YOU grateful for this Friday?

  • ‘YOU CAN’T LITTER NEGATIVITY EVERYWHERE AND THEN WONDER WHY YOU’VE GOT A TRASHY LIFE.’ —Unknown⠀ .⠀ 👆Can I get an amen?!⠀ .⠀ Here’s to counting our blessings, looking for silver linings, surrounding ourselves with people who love and support us, and noticing all of the tiny miracles that happen to us each day. 🥰
  • .⠀ ‘RUNNING IS NOTHING MORE THAN A SERIES OF ARGUMENTS BETWEEN THE PART OF YOUR BRAIN THAT WANTS TO STOP AND THE PART THAT WANTS TO KEEP GOING.’ —Unknown⠀ .⠀ Running used to be a magical, amazing thing for me. It was something I did with such ease, and it helped clear my head, relieve stress and tension, and keep my anxiety under control. It helped me cope with the loss of my dad, and continues to help me keep my head above water when I feel overwhelmed. ⠀ .⠀ But for the last year, running has not been easy for me. While my mind has been begging me to run at high speeds, my body has needed me to slow down and allow myself to heal. It’s been so freaking frustrating - not to mention painful - and I’ve worked hard on correcting my gait, stretching my achilles to relieve pain and tension, and I’ve done HOURS of strength exercises to build all of the other muscles in my legs to help take the strain off my achilles. ⠀ .⠀ It hasn’t been fun, but last week I set a goal with my physiotherapist that I would run 5K without stopping before our next appointment in 2 weeks time. After months of only being able to run half a mile without having to take a break to stretch my achilles, my mind is having a tough time accepting the fact that my body no longer needs me to do this, and after my physiotherapist dangled the idea that we can discuss sprints at our next appointment if I’m feeling up to it, I finally felt my motivation come back!⠀ .⠀ I reached my goal within 3 days, proving to myself that it’s all mental at this point. I no longer have any excuses and it’s time to get out of my own way! My next big goal is to complete one of my favorite @siss_fit tread workouts before 2019 is over, and my DREAM is to be able to run outside in the spring. ⠀ .⠀ 👇Do you have any fitness goals you want to crush before 2019 ends?!
