What Do a Coyote, Physical Therapy and Potty Training Have in Common?

  • Kerrie

They were all part of my week…

1. I skipped Monday’s hill repeats since it was the day after the half. Recap HERE.

2. Tuesday, on the advice of my PT, I did not make up the hill repeats and rested as scheduled.

Me at physical therapy with my PT. They posted this pic, from a couple of
weeks ago, to their Facebook wall.

3. Wednesday morning before work, I had an awesome fast run: 5 miles with an average pace of 8:38. The last mile should’ve been slower than an 8:15 pace, but a coyote popped out on the Cedar River Trail and I ran as fast as I could without hurting myself back to the car. Read about that run HERE.

4. Thursday…I don’t have words. One of my Top 10 worst days ever. Even a 4-mile nighttime sanity run did not help. I did hit below my goal pace for the two middle miles without much problem — even seemed easy on the flat straightaways. You know what’s not easy? Potty training little boys. Read more about that run HERE.

5. My friend, who has a son with autism, sent me this run that sounds AWESOME! It is called The Amazing Race to Understand Autism. Let’s just say you need running shoes, a camera, a phone and a buddy. Check it out HERE if you live in the Seattle area.

    I would be 100% completely lost if I had to try and potty train a boy. Good luck!! Have a fantastic weekend!

    We've given up on potty training. She's almost 3 and fighting tooth and nail. Its not worth it. I told her to tell me when SHE is ready and stopped talking about it 😉 I feel ya!

    Kerrie, I've been wanting to let you know how inspired I was by your marathon success! Loved the recap and the pics…you looked so happy and strong.I've recently been trying to decide whether I could finally run my first marathon and I was feeling strong, until I started experiencing knee pain once again. I took it easy and decided to run a 5/1 ratio during all my training runs and my knee is doing great. Knowing you ran your marathon with a 5/1 ratio and did so great, I decided to register and hope to complete that marathon in September. Yesterday was a long run, I used the 5/1 ratio and I felt great! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
