Runnin' and week 2 recapin'

This was a emotional week and the only thing I could think of doing was running. Almost everyday. I couldn't fathom doing any other type of cardio. So this week was run heavy (even though most were short and broken up) #RunForBoston

Sunday: Ran a mile to the gym. The foot still hurt a bit so I didn't do as much

Monday: 2 miles on the indoor track

Tuesday: 2 miles on the treadmill, one on the indoor track

Wednesday: 2.7 miles to Big Y, rest, and another mile home

Thursday: 1 mile to the gym, 2.62 on the treadmill with some walking

Friday: Rest [Group Meetings all day woo]

Saturday: 5 miles turned into 6 when I got lost at Amherst College.

Total: 18 miles

Here is a really attractive picture of me before my run today:

Hope everyone has a great weekend! 

My Love for the Running Community

Yesterday was intense, heavy, and hard on the mind. I was on the elliptical at the gym when it started flashing on ESPN: "Bombing at the Boston Marathon" and my heart shattered. This really has given me time to think and this tragedy has been the only thing consuming my thoughts for the past 24 hours. The running community has become a part of me ever since I started interning with EnergyBits and I felt personally attacked when this happened.

So let's all take a minute to step back, take some deep breaths and reflect on yesterday's events. Dedicate a run this week to the victims and for the thousands of runners who did not get to finish. I know I am and every run will be in their honor for now on. The love and support from the running community is amazing and I hope to meet many of them someday.
