Half-Marathon Training // Week 9

July 26, 2015 by Hillary 3 Comments

Current work stress plus training finally caught up to me and I got sick this week. I haven’t been sick in a good while; I suppose it was a reminder to myself to chill out – to relax and recuperate. I took the first half of the week off: Monday was a Rest Day after Sunday’s 11-miler, and then my body crashed. I managed to do a few light workouts Friday through Sunday, but I only ran a total of 20 minutes this week. Enter freak out #1. The race is two weeks from today. Enter freak out #2.

A cold won’t stop me from going to the Saturday market!

      Thanks, Caroline. I feel like I have been training hard, but I don’t want all that to “go to waste” if I can’t train adequately the last 3 weeks =/ What is this summer cold thing? Ergh.

 Want to know one of my favorite things? Getting up early before everyone else in the house and having a couple quiet hours to myself to be peaceful and productive. — Today that looked like: pouring a big cup of collagen coffee, lighting a candle, rolling on my “focused energy” essential oils, and writing my weekly email newsletter before taking a pause to break-the-fast. — pictured: sourdough toast, sunflower seed butter, reduced sugar apricot preserves, hemp seeds + fresh organic blueberries // all from @traderjoes — How are you starting the week? #nutritionnuteats  Last night I did a thing... I enrolled in @camp.wellness: a 6-week online course (designed by the inspiring @thehealthymaven team) “helping women in wellness get aligned with their mission and pursue the life of their dreams.” ✨ Later this year, my blog (Nutrition Nut on the Run) turns TEN years old, but my commitment to health and wellbeing precedes the past decade — it’s what I am all about at my core, it’s intertwined in everything I am. It may have taken a cross-country move, ample time to think during my dangerous daily commutes, and hours spent in a cubicle to realize that life is too short to give your passions a mere 50%. If you can’t tell, I’m feeling fired up! 2019 is the year I say YES to cultivating a life deeply rooted in passion and aligned with who I am... everything else can go. #nutritionnutontherun #campwellnessbootcamp
 Monday mood: things are falling into place and it feels damn good! ✨ - Today’s salad bowl: romaine, leftover roasted sweet taters and feta from @eatfreshkitchen, their to-die-for “holy kale” dressing + an egg for good measure... just missing 🥑 - #nutritionnuteats #feelgoodfood  Yep, that salad is all for me. - romaine - quinoa - avocado - roasted peppers - kalamata olives - feta - (forgot the) cucumber - olive oil + thick ass balsamic Whatcha having for lunch? #nutritionnuteats
