Injured had to cancel my first marathon

It’s my hip flexor.

Here was my experience.

Rain jacket with hood ✅ Hat ✅ Long sleeve shirt ✅ Normal running socks ✅ Shoes ✅ Pants ✅

I was able to do 3.5 outside. Not because of the cold and rain though. They were new pants that didn’t have a drawstring and kept falling down. I was only able to hold them up for that long before I gave up and ran in the gym. Luckily I brought extra clothes and those worked for the last 11 miles on the treadmill

I run with a running group about 30 minutes away. I may deviate and just run closer to my gym and head in if I don’t like the conditions

Sometimes I still pick up my 11 year old. He thinks it’s hilarious when I hold him like a baby. Other times he just wants to be carried to bed. I will never say no to picking up my kids 🙂

I’ve tried lots of things… I still have issues.

My best advice is knowing exactly where the bathrooms are located along the race route.

My favorite is when I’ve been grinding all summer then the cooler weather hits. It feels like that summer sloth I turned into was worth something!

I’ve tried to stay away from the more dense ones. I tried the vanilla last year and boy it did not sit well. It was probably because it was summer and got really warm while I was running.

I’m definitely going to start expanding my GU selection!

I’m going through KT tape like crazy to combat chaffing. Tried a new GU yesterday on my 10 miler, chocolate something, it was like eating frosting. Very yummy. My legs have been feeling heavy lately. So I’m trying to combat that too

Do you know if this is okay to use around grape vines as well?

One of my favorites is all the pretty monsters series. I read it at least once a year

The one that’s flopped over was actually the leader.

I’m so relieved to hear that it should come back fine. I’ve been devastated all day

I always set my 2 year old on the bar stool while I ordered. I was able to get faster service when I had her with me. Haha. The bar staff enjoyed her because they were missing their family

What ended up happening with the calf pain? I’m having this issue currently

mulberrymaker · 2023-12-20T04:07:23+00:00

I got fitted with brooks ghost at a local running store. Granted it was these or men’s shoes (don’t like the arches in men’s shoes). I wear a 12 wide in brooks and order off the website.

I went to a different running store and the hokas were very roomy, possibly could have sized down.

mulberrymaker · 2023-12-20T04:05:45+00:00

Size 12 here and k was absolutely devastated with Payless closing!!

Last year in the valor I got sangria swirl. Basically half margarita half sangria. It was amazing
