Lessons Learned from a Year-Long Injury Battle
At the beginning of 2023, I was a month out from my first marathon in 3 years and first postpartum marathon…. and I started having knee pain. I did a 21 mile long run and could barely walk without pain the next day. With no traumatic event, I assumed it was runner’s knee.
2021 Goals: Cautiously Optimistic
I always get excited to set a few goals for a new year. Less resolution like and more about what I hope to accomplish with a seemingly clean slate. But that’s not how this works and 2020 really confirmed that. I woke up this morning in a brand new year, but nothing has changed since yesterday. We are most definitely still living in a pandemic. So, I’m entering the new year as I’m sure many are - cautiously optimistic about what it can bring that 2020 took from all of us: hugs, human connection, races, and health.
