A few land workouts back, my stride is somewhere between newborn 🦒 & @kipchogeeliud. 😅 Nevertheless, so happy to be making progress and so into this crisp fall weather. 👙🧤

Happy Birthday, Mom!!! 🎂🥂🎉 The older I get, the more in awe of you I become. (4 babies in diapers! 4 teenagers! 4 college students! 4 needy adults! And as perfect of a mom at every stage as I can imagine.) Can’t wait for our next big hug & a belated birthday toast. Love you so much!💕

@leverrunning to the rescue (again!). I’ve been alternating Lever-assisted runs and land runs during this comeback, and the regular unloading is making for a much smoother transition to normal training. These guys are onto something, and I’m super grateful that they’re both local and supportive.
•
For those wondering, most treadmills are Lever compatible, but since ours has curved arms, Will built a wooden mount. It pays to marry an engineer!
•
Also, 👋 @deena8050 and @ryanhall3! Coach Vigil gave me those posters years ago, and they’re still great reminders of what’s possible and what I’m working towards.

Doubly exhausted today—from waiting on those results and then trying to keep up with all the jubilant reactions, tear-jerking speeches, and (most of all) the sidewalk dance parties. Brighter days are ahead. Very good work, y’all. 🇺🇸💃🏾💙

Will gets some credit (though never enough!) for pacing me through every workout and many races too. He’s so dependable and encouraging, and I treasure all the miles that we share. 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️But what people don’t get to see or celebrate is his full-time behind-the-scenes support—which in 2020 has been a TASK. His refusal to let my goals get lost in the shuffle may be his greatest gift of all. You’re the ultimate, @armadwillo!

Fixating on how much training you’ve missed at the start of a comeback is about as helpful as calculating how many miles you have left 5K into a marathon. Or using @des_linden’s #RunDestober as a yardstick. 😅

Would loooove to be in Poland racing the world over 13.1 miles tomorrow. No US team in the field this year, so I guess I need to get out there and make another one! 🇺🇸 Best wishes for a safe and swift World Half Champs @wagdynia2020 weekend! 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏿‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏼‍♂️🏃🏿‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

Did some road tripping this week—a little by foot 🏃🏻‍♀️, a lot more by car 🚗 (Boulder > Phoenix > Boulder). We’re finally making some progress with my foot, which appears to be more of a biomechanical issue (hips/glutes slacking on the job) than a straight-up Achilles one. My takeaways: Focus on the cause, not just the symptoms. And when in doubt, look up the chain.⛓

3 silver linings of this (hopefully not much longer) hiatus from running:
1) less laundry🩱
2) more DIY projects 🎨
3) max appreciation for a sport that doesn’t involve chlorine or handlebars 🏃🏻‍♀️(but crazy respect for all swimmers, cyclists, and triathletes!)
•
Unrelated: it’s definitely fall, y’all. 🍂🍃
