My post-marathon motivation to run is seriously lacking. Today I was determined to run, and it wasn’t raining, so I had no excuse.
I busted out new shoes to make it exciting.
I’ve been hoarding two brand-new pairs of Brooks Ghost 3 shoes in a closet ever since I went nuts over an online sale. I basically got two pairs of my very favorite running shoes — in PURPLE! — for the price of one. Winning!
I pushed the run a bit since I was “only” doing 3 miles. (Must get out of that “only” mindset now that I’m not training for a stupid-far race.)
Oooh yeah, that felt good. My pesky right foot didn’t hurt, and I’m hoping it’ll stay that way.
I’m clearly obsessed with the lululemon pullover I bought for the marathon. I hardly ever buy lululemon stuff because it’s so pricy, but this pullover is ridiculously comfortable, non-chafing, flattering and very high quality. This… this is love.
Plus, it’ll always remind me of my first 26.2. (I still can’t believe that happened.)
Tomorrow morning I venture into the crazy world of Crossfit. I’m ready to dominate some box jumps or swing the shiz out of a kettlebell or something. Wish me luck…
