Let me ask you this: if you ran a half marathon, but you didn't post it on social, did you really run a half marathon? 😆
Ok ok, jokes aside. I actually did run the Army Run half marathon last month in Ottawa. 🏃🏽♀️ It was my first half marathon in 8 years!!! 🙌🏽
The build-up and training involved physiotherapy support 💪🏽 , family support 👩🏻❤️👨🏻 , nutrition support 🍏 (obviously!), and a cautious (read: athletically mature) build-up walk:run program that lasted months 🏃🏽♀️📅 , all bringing me back into the game of distance running. 👍🏽
And I am so grateful to everyone who was involved in getting me there! 🙏🏽
After every one of my long runs, I recovered with my feet up, enjoying some cuddles while breastfeeding my little one. Recovery just looks different as a mama-athlete, am I right?? 🤱🏽
But seriously, from the awesome baby to the health professionals, everyone played their role. It takes a whole team! 👶🏽🤱🏽🏃🏽♀️👨👩👧👦💪🏽👩🏽⚕️
What's your next goal? Do you want my help to fuel up for it? 💪🏽🍏
