Post-Marathon Blues

To be completely honest, exercise post-marathon has been tough.

IMG_6959 I’ve been meaning to post about this for a while since it’s something I never really thought about before.

After the marathon I had to take time to rest, which through me off physically. I thrive on post-exercise endorphins and not having them was killer!

Also, my mind was not ready to jump back in the game. Every time I’ve headed out for a run I want to go out, but as soon as I start running I just feel like I’m not into it.

My body is stronger than ever but I’m working on getting my mind back into the game. I miss my long, intense workouts ;)

To balance myself out and get back in touch with why I love exercise, I’ve been including a lot of yoga into my schedule. Even if I don’t push hard, five minutes in child’s pose is like giving myself a huge hug :)

A surprise giveaway for one of my bake sale bakers tomorrow.. and maybe some FOOD pics!!

How do your workouts change after big fitness events?
