Mornings, Motivation & Marathons

Anne Ciccio May 10, 2020 0

The Week That Was – Mornings, Motivation and Marathons. Another week of quarantine life and thoughts while running solo.

Primary Sidebar

WELCOME!

Welcome!

I’m a 43 year redheaded runner- living and working in Central Connecticut with my long time loving husband (and sometimes running czar) Mark and our dog Harley.

I have always enjoyed sports but it wasn't until 11 years ago that I decided to "take up" running. Since then, running has allowed me to have some awesome adventures as well as meet some pretty cool people.

Along with running, I am also passionate about food and drink, considering myself a bit of an amateur food geek.

So I decided to start my blog to combine both of these passions by documenting my journey to balance the two - one step at a time.

So thanks for stopping by and as always - Keep Calm. Eat Well. Run Strong.

Nervous/scared that it has come to surgery but excited to get this taken care of next week. Is it too soon to sign up for races 🤪. Asking for a friend

🐝BEE advised that there's a new #meadery in Connecticut and its absolutely the #beesknees.🐝
___
Opened just last week in the #nora section of Middletown, @bergen.house is one of the few of not only meaderies in the area.
__
@markciccio and I did a tasting of the six meads they had on tap and honestly there was not a bad one in the flight. My personal favorite was the 'Ginga which was light, refreshing and perfectly crushable.

🍯Thanks to @expedition_food for the suggestion! I'll definitely be back. 🍯.

I might might have been able to run a marathon this year (thanks COVID-19 and my stupid torn hamstring) but at least I got to ride one.
🚲
I had never done the @railstotrails Farmington Canal Loop, and it turned out 5o be a beautiful ride traveling through 5 northern #connecticut towns.
🚲
After 28 miles I have a feeling of accomplishment (my longest ride to date) even though my legs are toast.
🚲
Thanks to @slowridewillis for joining me (and being a better ride leader than me 😂) and @honeystinger for the fueling our miles. Can't wait for our next ride adventure after my surgery

Who says you have to head #backtoschool to get a fancy new backpack.

Just ask @markciccio who hung on to his last one (the bag on his left) for 20+ years. The upgrade included being able to close his bag without the use of a carabiner 🤣. Thanks to his awesome wife for this long overdue purchase 😘❤️

It's hard to believe but it's less than 3 weeks 😳 until I will finally (and hopefully) get my torn hamstring repaired. I have been trying to stay as active as possible because after September 29th - I know I will be on a long road to not only recovery but also being active in the way I am accustomed to being.
🔆
I have not been running BUT I have been getting out side every day. Biking 🚵‍♀️ every morning has become my main source of cardio at this point as it is the one activity that is safe and does not anger my hamstring (as much😡).
🔆
Mark was right in having me hold off on my surgery until the end of this month so that I can enjoy these last days of warm, sunny weather. What else is everyone doing to keep active in these waning days of Summer?

Is it just me or does this king holiday weekend seem a bit anti-climatic. On one hand I am excited to not have to head to the "work Bunker" on Monday but on the other hand I'm like WHERE DID SUMMER GO. I feel that the season has passed me by but I think pretty much the whole world is in the same boat as me.
🔆🔆
Life continues to be pretty much a wait and see game (side bar.. Wear your 🎭 ppl) but there have been some but of return to what I like to call the "before times". I've been heading into work 1 day a week.
🔆🔆
Luckily I have a back corner office and am able to close my door BUT it's been so nice to see some of my co workers from a safe distance.
🔆🔆
@fullofsips asked in her post today what was one thing you learned from the Pandemic. It was not too hard for me to think of an answer and that was that learned I need and miss common human interaction without having to worry about getting 🤮 or getting someone else 🤮. Hopefully that will a thing of the past this time next year.
🔆🔆
Until then I will take what I can get while still practicing safe social distancing. What's the one thing you have learned (positive or negative) during the Pandemic?

I'm not a very superstitious person BUT I saw this before my ride this morning and am hoping it's a sign of good luck 🍀 for the month ahead because I could use some right about now!.

➡️NEW BLOG POST⬅️

The options on how to handle my hamstring tear have become limited. After much consideration I will have hamstring surgery at the end of September.

Click on the link on my bio see how I came to this difficult decision.
