When things don't go as planned...

Last Monday was the 130th running of the Boston Marathon.
The weather was excellent, and there was even a strong wind, how glorious.
The setup was so good, 609 women ran under 3:00, and the men's course record was shattered.
But for Sharon Lokedi, the day started with a major hiccup.
She forgot her watch.
A professional runner.
Reigning champion.
Course record holder.
So what happened?
She borrowed a watch. Crushed the competition. And set the 2nd fastest time on the course as well (only slower than her time last year).
Why is this an important story?
As runners, we tend to be a bit Type A.
Maybe slightly obsessively... a touch controlling... a smig micro managing... sometimes anticipating and planning for the worst.
Which honestly, probably does say us a lot of headaches.
Annnnnnnnnnnnnd... when inevitably something does go wrong...
Remember Sharon.
You don't need to have the perfect morning to have the perfect day.


And now an exercise form tip.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know!


Splits Squats and Lunges can be tricky for balance.
Make sure your feet are separated, but parallel (like train tracks, just not as wide).
Not like you're balancing on a tightrope.


Until next time,
