Training for and running a marathon when you work and have a young child is TOUGH. So give yourself a huge pat on the back for finishing with a great time (one I'm envious of as the sub-4 marathon alluded me). I felt extreme disappointment after my last marathon as I also worked so hard but with time, I came to accept it and be proud of myself for finishing and PR'ing. I was on the struggle bus for the last 3 miles, most of which are uphill. I do wonder what I could do on a flatter course, but I'll have to just always wonder because my marathon days are over. I'm prone to a labrel tear on my right side as the one of the left was caused by repetitive use combined with a misshapen ball hip joint. The doctor said since it's anatomical, I likely have the same malformation on the right side so I don't want to push it and risk another tear/surgery. The surgery itself was not bad at all but the recovery was horrible - esp being on crutched!<br /><br />As far as summer fitness plans, I am doing a sprint tri in mid-August and a half marathon in early Sept. I haven't ran much lately as I was so focused on going to barre as much as I could since I had a 3 month unlimited membership. Now I"m ready to focus on running, swimming and biking, though!!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099670252831293133.post-67131322915312931602017-05-24T12:38:08.331-07:002017-05-24T12:38:08.331-07:00Congrats Lauren!

I know it's hard when you don't achieve your A goal or even B goal - but finishing a marathon in itself is so impressive, and especially when you are caring for a toddler and dealing with sleep issues on top of everything else! <br /><br />This summer I want to just workout as much as I can. I saw my doctor yesterday and he OK'ed me to start adding running back in if I want to (I haven't ran since November) but I'm not sure I will yet. I have added back in strength/HIIT workouts through Fitness Blender since I started feeling better and it's felt amazing to be working out regularly again after a long stretch of feeling terrible. But my goal for this summer is just basically to keep moving my body daily as I get bigger and bigger!
