I’m really in a bad mood today.After the marathon on Saturday I had pain at my right knee,so I decided to take three days off and I went to the doctor.The doctor diagnosed me a tendinitis and it gave me two weeks of rest.After two days I didn’t have pain so I started to run againand yesterday after 5miles at Cattail Marsh I started to have pain again!
I know that I had to listen the doctor but i can be very stubborn if I want!!‍♀️‍♀️Now I have to start over!I tried to stretch my legs in my daily practice because it seems help to recover!So this is Day 1 of my recover.Well,I know that runners are very subject to be injured and I know that life cannot be always beautiful but in this moment of my life I feel bad vibes around..But I’ll do my best to overcome this moment! “Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...It's about learning to dance in the rain”

I want to just say what I think about my marathon addiction.
Well I’m not good in the marathons..I’m able to run 10k sub 40’,I ran the half marathon in 90’,But I suck in the marathons.
I ran 4 marathons,all of them sub 4hours and actually my best is 3:33.
I don’t care if people could think that it’s a good marathon time,for me it’s not.
Maybe it will require more time for me to run a marathon under 3:30,maybe my body is better in short distances,but I don’t care and I will not stop training until I achieve my goal.
People think I can be arrogant but I saw a lot of people that I beat in 5k,10k races,to beat me in the marathons.
Everytime I asked myself why.
Well, a friend of mine said that the marathon is about patience and maybe sometimes it requires more time.Also I never have been patience in all my entire life..Probably that’s the reason why I’m not able to run a good one.
My 3:33 probably will be not good enough to run Boston next year and probably I will run a marathon in September,”Last chance BQ Marathon”just one month before to try to qualify for Boston #chicagomarathon.
In two weeks I will be in italy and I will have time to think better about it,but I’m almost sure that I’ll do it!So I cannot say that I didn’t give all of myself.

Let me share the story of this race “Bear Chase Marathon” ‍♀️#myfourthmarathon

This race was my first marathon on April 2016.(the second year since I started running)
I remembered that I signed up for it three days before without training at all.
I was scared to run my first marathon without having run more 13 miles in my entire life.So my goal that day was just to finish it!
The 60% of this race is a trail and the other 40%is street but there are up and downhills so I started very slow and I finished sub 4 hours with a time of 3:56:57.
That day I was so happy because I could not think I could finish a marathon without any kind of training, but I did it!
One month ago I decided to do this race,again.
Bad idea!
This morning when I woke up it was raining a lot and my first thought went immediately to the course of the race.When I arrived the rain stopped but there was a lot of mud in the trail
Anyway I decided to run again this race starting with my marathon pace but around mile 8 I slipped the first time in the mud..Then I stand up and I kept running again, but after one mile I slipped again and I hurt my knee ‍♀️‍♀️. When I was in the street I tried to keep a decent pace even if I had all the wind against.‍♀️
I slow down my pace when I was back in the trail again.Anyway I ended first overall female with a time of 3:43, absolutely far to my PR but considering the conditions I could not do better.

See you the next marathon..no more trails for me!‍♀️ P.S a huge thanks to @anthony.mireles2 to support me and congratulations for your 7” PR Race!You are #1 “To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.”SP
