Got dropped cuz I had to tie my shoe 🤷🏼‍♂️ still had a good workout

Shins are still kinda spicy but it never got to more than a 3 on the pain scale.

🔥 Warm-up: 10-20 min
⏳ Tempo Intervals: 10-5-3-1 min
🏃‍♂️ Recovery: Active (wog/jog) = half the next rep (after 5 min, that’s 2.5 min
🧊 Cool-down: 10-20 min

First run of the training block: cold, wet, and straight-up brutal. Rain felt like needles on my face, but the vibes? Immaculate.

Shin splints are improving—still there, but PT is doing its thing. Progress is progress.

Wrapped it up with a steak taco because balance.

Solid start.

Are recovery shoes a game-changer or just overpriced Crocs?

Today I’m officially kicking off my Grandma’s Marathon training block -16 weeks out. 🏃

The main goal? Do the “easy” things right:
✅ 7-8 hours of sleep every night
✅ 120g+ of protein daily

Going to treat BlueSky like a running journal. So stay tuned for the highs and lows and everything in between.

Was asked to run a Marathon “for fun” tomorrow.

The only fun part about that would be the drugs they give me when I’m being taken away in an ambulance.

Should be a good time

Running won’t solve all my problems. It won’t cure my chronic illness, and it won’t magically erase my depression.

But sitting around and feeling sorry for myself won’t help either.

Running gives me something to fight for. It makes me feel strong and connected with my body when most days I do not.

Is there a running community on BlueSky?
