Since I’ve recently started seeing progress in my recovery from IT Band Syndrome, I figured now might be a good time to develop some sort of plan as I move forward with running. What got me into this whole mess originally was training for last year’s LA Marathon way too fast after about a month…
10 Commandments for the Injured Runner
Four physical therapy appointments down; six to go! Ever since my official IT Band Syndrome diagnosis, I’ve been going to PT about twice a week. At each visit, they’ve been having me stretch and gradually do more exercises. On my own time, I’ve been getting back into my workout schedule and doing my PT stretches…
Running Injury Verdict + HIIT Like a Boss Workout
Before I share my latest High Intensity Interval Training circuit workout, I have a little running update for you. First of all, I hate to keep vaguely talking about my “knee problem,” so I’m going to do a quick little summary of why I can’t run, update you on what the doctor told me last…
30-Day Booty Challenge
As I’m getting my body back into shape to hopefully be able to run again without knee/IT band pain, I’m focusing on a few muscle groups specifically–like my glutes, hamstrings, and quads. I feel pretty confident that I have some muscle imbalances that are hurting my psuedo-injury recovery, so I’m trying to step up my…
Friday Five: Running Tips
Happiest of Fridays to you all! I’m mixing things up today and participating in a linkup hosted by Mar, Courtney, and Cynthia. Their theme for this week’s “Friday Five” is running tips, which I thought was fun because I’m weird and like running (most of the time). When people ask me for tips on running,…
The Real Reason I Workout + Road Runner Sports Giveaway {Closed}
My name is Katie, and it has been approximately 40 days since I worked out. To be honest, I haven’t kept up with a regular workout routine since probably early November. There have been so many road blocks that have caused this that I won’t get into, but I’m ready to snap out of it…
7 Ways to Take Care of Your Running Feet
I don’t know about you, but I’ve had my fair share of ugly feet syndrome, due to that little activity called running. The constant wear and tear makes your feet calloused, blistered, and for some people lacking toenails. I apologize for this post getting real/gross quite fast, but if you’re a runner, you probably know…
What I Learned from the Road Runner Sports Shoe Dog Analysis
So last week I mentioned I would share my experience doing the Shoe Dog dealio at Road Runner Sports. If you aren’t already aware, this is a program they have when an employee works with you to determine the specifics of what you need in your shoes to ensure a good fit. I’ve done it…
3 Features to Look for in Running Shoes
Over the past five years, I’ve become quite the running shoe connoisseur. I’m no professional here, but when it’s time to get a new pair, there are three main factors I look for that are all quite important to get the best fit. If you’ve ever gone to a running store and just stared at…
Matt’s LA Marathon Recap
As promised last week, today’s post has been written by my lovely fiance. He’ll be recapping his experience running the LA Marathon, including all the highs and lows of the day. Enjoy! So as you read on Friday, I was the lucky one to run the ASICS LA Marathon. And boy, what an experience it…
ASICS LA Marathon VIP Weekend Recap
Exactly a week ago, we were heading to Los Angeles for a busy weekend of marathon-related fun. It’s hard to believe it’s all over. I was asked to be part of the Team ASICS Challenge back in December, which Matt was also able to join, but due to ridiculous IT Band issues, I had to…
Marathon Training Update 2: Knowing When to Throw in the Towel
As of yesterday, the LA Marathon is exactly a month away!! I’m super excited for it…but not for the reason I was originally. About two or three weeks ago, I finally faced the fact that I would not be able to make it through the marathon. I mentioned my knee/IT band problems in my first…
Marathon Training Update 1
As I begin to write this post, I have come to the realization that the LA Marathon is in exactly two months. I was asked by ASICS at the end of December if I would be interested in running this race, to which I hesitantly said yes. My runs hadn’t gone past four miles in…
Two Words: LA Marathon
So guess what… This coming March, I will be running in the ASICS LA Marathon!!! This will be numero dos for me, with my first 26.2 being the Surf City Marathon two years ago. Last year, I was questioning whether I’d ever run a second marathon ever, but the people at ASICS recently approached me…
Holiday Gift Guide for Runners
So today is December 22nd, and I’m still not done doing my Christmas gift shopping/creating (DIY for the win). I’m really good at procrastinating when it comes to gift giving, but it gets done, so that’s all that matters. If you’re still searching for things to get someone – more specifically, a runner, or if…
