Happy First Day of Spring! (sort of...depending where you are) I pondered a bit about what write on my first post. I could start by ranting about the not-so-spring like weather today but I think we are all over that by now...so... Welcome to the Run Free Coaching Blog! I hope to give you a inside look of my coaching and training experiences as well as my everyday running and fitness life. As a fitness professional and enthusiast I think we all can gain great information by learning about the experiences of others. Please feel free to leave comments, send an email or outreach me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @runfreecoaching! I look forward to sharing my love of running and fitness with all of you!
I know I said I wouldn't rant about the weather... but since I woke up this morning at 530AM to get a 9 mile tempo run in before the day started, I can't help but feel a bit irritated by the sight snow. I mean seriously?!?! So much for the first day of Spring. I was hoping that ignoring the weatherman's reports yesterday would make the snow storm disappear. It didn't work. On a good note though, the Boston Marathon is 30 days away!! This will be my first Boston and words really can't describe how excited I am. To be honest it still doesn't feel like it's happening. It has been quite the road getting to this point. I have qualified for the Boston Marathon 3 times to be rejected twice. It can be difficult to pick yourself up and stay motivated after disappointment. I have learned that its best to think of "bad" workouts or races as good stepping stones towards your goals. So with 4 weeks until the marathon I decided to ignore the snow and embrace the run because ...OMG I'm running the Boston Marathon!
Did you run in snow today or beautiful spring weather?
