Marathon Training And Vacation Vibes

Happy Monday guys!!!

I know I haven't posted for a few weeks, but things have been absolutely crazy. I was in Belize for a week with my boyfriend and his bestfriend and his best friend's family, and they are some of the nicest people you will ever meet - really chill (sometimes haha!), great conversation, positive attitudes, and they don't feel the need to "impress" anyone. My kind of people. This last week I was able to keep running, but had to drastically cut down mileage in this area because while it is a beautiful country, I don't feel safe running more than a few miles out in a 3rd world country with different (or not the same) laws that we have in the U.S. You gotta keep it safe, after all.

This pretty accurately describes my vacation 

Thanksgiving followed that, so my workouts have become a bit derailed after all the sand, sun and good food. I also miss BMX racing so much it hurts. I LOVE running, but as someone with two sports I want to keep up with I don't like spending all my time on one thing, and I don't feel guilty about that either. After my second marathon is over in April I think I will take a marathoning break for a while and keep it to the shorter distances, and that way I can ride again. Until then, the weekly training starts up again tomorrow.

To all my marathoning friends out there, cheers to keeping up this crazy schedule!
