I went for an hour on the treadmill. 7 miles is the longest I have gone in 5.5 weeks… it is feeling so nice to get back into my groove and sweat. I am hitting up the treadmill a lot lately just so that I can stop right away if my IT Band starts acting up but luckily no problems… later on it felt tight but MUCH better than the other day.
I caught up on Kristin Armstrong’s Mile Markers articles on Runner’s World. I absolutely love the way she writes and I always feel uplifted after I read her articles.
Running and filling my body up with spinach all before 9 a.m… that felt good.
Brooke is getting quite opinionated about what she wants for her new room and she goes down the aisle saying no, no, no, no until finally she says yes to what she really wants.
Brooke and I drove up to Park City to meet some extremely important people for lunch.
THE Erica. We became pen pals when I started my blog (almost 4 years ago). We write novels back and forth to each other and we have so much in common and so it was amazing to finally meet her. My new goal is to be her neighbor someday.
Does anyone else automatically think of Cool Runnings anytime they see a bobsled?
A birthday party with some tie-dye ice cream for Brooke.
And the meal I had been craving all day long. There is cereal somewhere underneath my 3 lbs of berries. I also had Brooke’s grilled cheese sandwich from earlier… quite the random meal.
I shared this on my instagram yesterday… Foam rolling my IT Band is already pretty painful but Brooke thinks it is her job to make it even more painful by sitting on me as I go.
She laughs. I cry.
Speaking of instagram… I absolutely loved reading THIS:
It is Brooke’s BIRTH MONTH!!

Michele @ paleorunningmomma
My 3 year old likes to get in my face when I’m doing pushups and ask me over and over again “are you doing pushups mommy?” which might be almost as painful as the foam roll thing! I’m excited for the weekend because…not sure if I really am right now since it will be just me and the kids, but I think I need to figure out something for us to get excited about!
Tie dye ice cream would be like ice cream porn for my kids. They would die, I can’t show them :)
Beth @ Running with the Sunrise
I’m glad your IT band decided to get along with you again. IT Band problems are the worst, as I’m sure you know. Your salad looks like it was absolutely delish!

Sally @ sweat out the small stuff
I might be doing my first ever triathlon. With no training. It’s a beginner level with 300 yd swim, 11 mile bike and 3 mile run. I just have to figure out if I can get that far in the ocean doing the doggie paddle. I don’t know how to swim properly.
Going to buy a bike helmet and swim goggles now. If I chicken out it’s ok. Just trying to help out a friend who backed out so I’ll decide last minute.
Scared but excited!! I have always wanted to conquer my fear of the ocean.

One thing that has always boggled my mind is how people run for such long distances, especially on a treadmill. I mean, what do you think of? What keeps you for feeling tired and bored?

Foam rolling for your injured or sore IT Band. It hurts so good.
We all need a little Brooke to sit on us and make it better. Unfortunatley, I have the cat thing, too. He totally wants to me meowing into my face as he brushes up against me. So.not.helpful. OH, add the dog who’s sniffing my face like….”do I know you?”

Hollie
I’m glad you had such a successful run. You’ll build up strength and endurance in no time.
So I was really let down last time I tried rainbow ice cream. It’s a beautiful ice cream (whatever that means) but the flavor was just vanilla…I was so upset LOL.
Laura
Hahaha I read that article yesterday and loved it so much. Someone had to finally admit it!
Speaking of IT bands.. my upper hip has been hurting since my run Wednesday. I’ve had IT band problems before as well as a stress reaction (step right before a stress fracture, aka if I had kept running/ not gotten an MRI when I did it would have been a full fracture) in my hip, and I’m nervous that this pain feels more like to the latter.. It’s hard to remember exactly what both IT band issues and the hip issue felt like but something is just telling me it’s not my IT. I leave to study abroad in less than a month which means doctors appts/ PT is not really an option, so I’m pretty upset :(
I’m praying that by taking a break from running (just going to bike/ strength train, etc) for the next couple days, it’ll go away, but I’m nervous it won’t.
Just had to vent for a minute because I know you understand exactly how it feels when you realize you may be injured (again, and again, and again…)!
Anyway, injured or not, I’m trying to stay positive by reminding myself that unlike the last time I was injured, I’m no longer running competitively, nor do I have any races coming up. I still hope I can run soon and that everything is okay, but I’m thankful that a potential injury isn’t going to ruin an XC or track season the way it used to.
And on an even more positive note, I am excited for this weekend because I have Sunday off from work at J.Crew, and I am going to do something totally different for my work out (like swim or bike) and eat something delicious like grilled watermelon!
Grace Elise
I read that article not long ago! Great article.
I’m excited for the weekend because I’m going to meet up with some friends, and run on a treadmill at a gym, and eat fun healthy things like ice cream and candy.

I am excited for this weekend because I get to eat at one of the best vegetarian places in the area and I am going to do yoga in the park to start off my Saturday and bike ride to and from the gym for shoulders/abs on Sunday for my work out and eat something delicious like an ice cream cone… maybe!( that is a very poorly constructed sentence, but since I used the fill in the blank per your example I will roll with it. I am a rule follower)
Brianna @ I run He tris
My son loves sitting on me while foam rolling too!! I guess it looks fun to them. I’m excited for the weekend because I’m going to be decorating our house.

shannon
Hi Janae – can you please share on the blog soon how you plan to keep up with working out so much once your move into your new place?

For the workout I have a seven mile tempo run and then a ten miler (cutback week for my marathon training). For deliciousness, I’m definitely going to eat an extremely delicious bagel one morning from my fave bagel shop.
Kay
Yay for Brooke, we share a birth month!!

Domi @ Eat, Pray, Lift
Yes, I always always always think of Cool Runnings when I see a bobsled or when a bobsled is mentioned or when Jamaica is mentioned. ;)
And oh my goodness, I really liked that post about instagram vs. real life! My friend sent it to me a couple weeks back and I thought it was so good that I ended up doing my own version of it for my blog. Great reminder never to judge someone by their social media feed. ;)
Sheena
Happy birthday month Brooke – it’s mine, too! Yay Leo’s!
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner
If you think your little cutie is opinionated I have a 17 yo you can borrow for a few days! LOL. It’s great you are getting back to your long runs. I’m in the same boat right now trying to up my mileage without getting hurt again. Have a great weekend!
Traci
I am excited for this weekend because my best friend is visiting me to assist me in trying on wedding dresses! I am going to do nothing for my work out and eat delicious tacos.
Happy weekend!
Jilly Bean
I am a chronic ITB sufferer. The thing that saved me was my cadence alarm on the Garmin 610/620. I was overstriding (braking at my knee with every step) and my cadence was in the 150s. By training myself to take smaller, quicker steps, I’m finally healthy. Still working on flexibility (all around) and glut & core strengthening.
Curious to know if you have looked at your cadence. ITB pain stinks.
Losing Lindy
I have my 7 mile long run to complete and we are going out for ice cream with friends. Other than that, I plan on sitting on our new comfy couch
