First blog post of the new year!

Week 3 of Boston Marathon training is in the books 🦄
Had my first Yasso repeats this week and they went really well. I love doing these on the treadmill—I can lock in my pace and run by feel without constantly checking my watch.

Saturday’s 6 miles at pace felt strong, and Tuesday and Thursday included solid strength training sessions. I also made a point to stretch throughout the week—something I’m really trying to improve at… because Lord knows I need it.

My lower back was pretty tight after the longer runs this weekend, so I’ll continue staying consistent with chiropractor visits instead of waiting until things flare up. Listening to my body is part of the process.

Nutrition was also on point this week. I did really well with added sugars, didn’t crave them, and that feels like a big win.

Trusting the work, respecting recovery, and learning more about my body every single week. 💙💛
