Dreadmill to outside run…

When you run on the dreadmill for a few miles and you say to your running partner do you want to run outside…. 💛

Omg I hate it!

 

Hamstring tendinopathy is a pathology of the high hamstring tendon where it attaches to the ischial tuberosity (sit bone of the buttock). Typically, we see this condition in runners who have suddenly increased their training volume/intensity, or started hill running. Those with a developed hamstring tendinopathy will complain of a deep, annoying buttock pain during activities such as hill walking, running and/or prolonged sitting/driving.

Even if my hamstring is on fire, I can still go a little bit. Thankfully I run on my toes and short strides that (slow down my pace.

Yesterday was a 6 mile run, I had to do 3/3 having hamstring tendinopathy (a pain in the azzzzzz) this is the only way I can do it right now. 
















 

 My coaching volleyball season is over, I have to say I truly missed the evening sunshine walks, runs, and hanging out with my family!

Something I don’t know if I’d be willing to give up again! Don’t get me wrong, we had an amazing season was incredible HOWEVER, somethings are to priceless to give up at this time! #mom #timegoesbyfast #coach

Volleyball Coach!

This year I was asked to to Coach Volleyball (they didn’t have enough Coaches) so of course I said yes, now I have to say “I haven’t played Volleyball in years and have never Coached it.” I will openly admit I was a little nervous, so I watched videos, call my cousins daughters, ordered books and listen get the Pancake podcast like crazy!! 
I didn’t even know how to do a rotation. 

As I looked at the schedule, we had 12 matches and I wrote in the inside of my training notebook 
“I WILL BE THE BEST COACH I NEVER HAD!” 
With that said my A team finished the season 10/2 
and my 
  B team was undefeated! 

I was so excited for them and myself hard work always pays off!!

Because I have hamstring situations I had to defer my MTB race to 2022, then Grandmas marathon info came up so I had to sign up for that and then I’m going to try for Chicago marathon but wait that’s just the beginning.. Time to get back to me!! 


Signed up for Grandmas marathon I better start running as I can only run 3 miles at a time…. Ouchie in the Hamstring!!!
