My goal is to go sub-4 and I’ve been building up mileage and now am officially in marathon training mode.
Weekly mileage total: 40.21 miles
Weekly mileage total: 35.92
Anyone else deal with ankle / heel pain? This has happened before so I know I need to do better and not just wake up and run without stretching. I’ve also booked a massage at my PT’s office for Saturday after my long run.

Cool on doing Grandma’s, but boo on the cranky ankle! Why don’t my biz trips to Miami look like yours? I would not venture outside where I was.
Oh Miami was all vacation, no work!! Haha 🙂
I loved seeing all the photos from this weekend! It looked like you all had a great time and it’s always fun to cheer on other runners.
Sorry to hear about your ankle I had an ankle/foot issue a few weeks back and it turns out that it was my sneakers. I tried another brand and it just didn’t work for me. Once I switched sneakers it got better. Using KT Tape also helped. I hope that your ankle starts to feel better soon!
Thanks Kim! I’ve had this before and know I need to do better stretching and rolling (and massages) to avoid it. I’m sure I’ll be back to it in a day or so!
Sorry to hear about the ankle still bothering you – but glad you are taking a few days to let it get better. Saturday was SO much fun – I’m just said I missed out on the brunch (and mimosas.) Heal fast!!
Thanks! It’s annoying but a couple days is nothing in the scheme of things! Sad you missed brunch too – it was super fun!
I hope your ankle feels better soon. IMHO, I would go ahead and get a massage, I hate having to wait very long for one. If you can get in before your long run, it might be a better idea (could still go after your long run too). I hate when niggles and crap pops up in training, unfortunately I can’t really do workouts and train right now because I’m so janky (anything marathon pace or faster, not that I can physically run much faster, leaves me in pain for days!).
But in non-running life it looks like you had a fun group brunch! And yay for going to MIAMI!
Yes brunch was amazing! And cheering was so good. My ankle already feels a bit better after doing the heel drops but I know the rest will help as well. So sorry you still can’t do speedy runs. So frustrating! You handle it well, though!
Great job! I just can’t imagine running 7 days in a row these days – my body always rebels! I’m sorry to hear about your ankle…I’ve experienced some discomfort in that area, usually on the treadmill. My calves have been super tight so it’s something I’ve been keeping my eye on.
And your brunch sounds like it was fun! I was a little sad to not run RNR DC this year, I always loved seeing you out there!

Running often actually works really well for me…as long as I do all the “other” stuff. LOL – I’m working on fixing it, though. Brunch was amazing. Such fun!
Ugh! So sorry to hear about your ankle/heel pain. I hope your time off and self-rehab works and you’re back on the running trail very quickly.
Thanks for the linkup!

These eccentric heel drops are amazing! They have helped so much. I am super impressed!
I’m not going to lie, I was just a tad jealous when I saw all of Miami pics on IG. I cannot wait to be able to run at the beach. Hopefully I’ll be able to do so in June…fingers crossed!

Oh man it was the best. So dang relaxing and so needed!!
Miami looks pretty awesome! I’ve never been there. My vacation in a few weeks is quite the opposite – skiing in Canada! 🙂 Bummer on your ankle. I hope the early care resting keeps it in check for the rest of your training cycle!

Thanks and Canada sounds lovely! Different than Miami for sure but lovely 😉
This is so awesome! I have never run the Grandma’s but we’ve been there for the race as spectators and the energy was insane!!! I think you will have a great time and it is a beautiful city. And June is the perfect weather– not too cold and not too hot. June is definitely my favorite month to live in MN! Cant wait to see how it goes!
Thanks! Hoping for a great day 🙂
