RUNNER INTERRUPTED #weeklywins
Here are my weekly wins: I got a great hair cut and “hair-apy” with the stylist I love, and I had a massage that helped me relax. Plus I returned to work after medical absence, and I was mostly productive even though I’m not fully recovered yet.
Also, on behalf of accountants, I’m sorry Susan doesn’t know how to talk to people. 😂
Weekly wins: I didn’t have a total emotional meltdown when it became evident that I need to take my husband to more/different doctors to deal with his lower back problems now that his neck and pinched nerve problems are mostly maintaining balance. Also didn’t lose control when trying to process paperwork on medical billing. (It’s like I live in a special zone of medical hell each day and no volume of good deeds will ever get me out of here.)
Finally signed up for the premium Calm app yesterday and then actually took advantage of the quiet time before my family woke up and meditated this morning.

HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS
Hi coaches. I looking forward to my first trail 50k in July to celebrate my 50th. I am lucky to live in a beautiful if very hilly place so getting on trails is not a problem ( when I can run in the daylight) I have started switching some of my runs to trail to get my body ready. My question is how much should I do on trail? I would like to be able to yolo a road 10k or half before next summer so I need to keep some road running I guess Is there an ideal balance? My second question is Poles? I think it would help me to get some now and start practicing how to use them. Any tips? Thank you as always for your love and care. Karen Sutton
So silly question I think - where do I find the marathon ramp plans? I’m thinking of tackling my second marathon but want to look at time commitment. Thanks!

I have a question about sleep and overtraining. A while back you said it's a red flag if we're having trouble running consistently- That's me. Even dropping all runs to EE or short stride sandwiches having trouble getting going. For several months, I’ve been missing out on the joy in running. is this overtraining? what do I do? I still want to love running, but the minute the alarm goes off every day, I just want to quit. Advice?
