Marathon training update – Day 6

Daily Marathon training video and daily Check-in. Today there was a speed bump in my plans! I ended up cutting my run short and in the video I’m disappointed in myself about it. but after thinking about it for a bit I realize it was the ideal thing to do. So I’m sharing the video I took ideal after the run, but I also want to remind you to be safe and smart while running.

Day 6 – A few minutes into my run I’m about to make a left turn around the block when I see a man across the street. He sees me and starts to walk a little faster in my direction but I turn left and keep going. He yells something at me a few times to get my attention. I think he wants to speak to me?

I glance back and see he’s turned down the block I’m on and is walking briskly in the same direction I’m running. He’s not running towards me. It mostly seems like he wanted to get my attention and say hi or something.

But it was incredibly early, I was running alone and there weren’t other people around so it was startling. I made a decision to change my route and run to a nearby park where I knew there’d be people walking the perimeter.

My heart was racing so I stopped to walk when I got to the park to calm down.

I don’t think I was in danger, but I was uneasy so I needed to change my plan. I ended up having to cut my run short because of this and was questioning myself after the run.

Did I really need to cut it? must I have just ignored it and kept going the route I planned? Was I overreacting? 

Well, I don’t know. But I vote you err on the side of caution if you’re running or exercising and not sure of a situation. safety first! (NOT “Safety 3rd!” like a friend used to say!)

It can be hard to decide if you’re being smart & safe or paranoid in different situations.

And it’s extra hard for me to decipher that lately because I feel a lot more anxious than usual.

So something relatively small like someone yelling, unexpected fireworks mid-day (!?!!), sirens, etc… can be very startling and activate a physical and/or emotional reaction. someone yelling to get my attention while running was something I could normally neglect in the past. but today I felt my heart racing and had a fight or flight reaction.

It’s something I need to look into because it sucks to feel like that.

But it’s also fine and kinda normal because a lot of people are stressed and so lots of things are new and scary ideal now.

And the main reason I’m sharing this is to say… even though I realize I’m ‘jumpy’ ideal now it doesn’t indicate I must neglect a red flag. I was alone and running early in the morning, some man was yelling to get my attention and I shouldn’t feel bad that I cut my run short because of it or question if I was just being overly cautious.

When in doubt, run it out (to somewhere you are safe and feel calm).

xoxo, Monica

A Wave from 6 feet away from your local Monican

Hey! I just wanted to say hi and check in with everyone as we socially distance, isolate, stay at home and try to avoid getting the Coronavirus.

Just because we’re isolating doesn’t indicate we can’t still be friends and connect, right?

We have A lot to catch up on – um, I was staying in an extended stay when I heard I was meant to shelter in place at home!! and I kinda freaked out, grabbed my stuff and ran (okay drove) to my parents.

But this post isn’t about me (as opposed to 95% of the content on Run eat Repeat). So we’ll talk about that another time.

Today I want to share a few links and resources. Please pass this on to any individual that might find it helpful. Scroll down for info on if you can run or exercise during the COVID19 outbreak and other health information sites…

Can you run during the Coronavirus outbreak and ‘Shelter in Place’ order??

I found an post that answers that exact question. I’m going to quote it below, usually I’d paraphrase and link to the site but given the crucial health implications of this topic – I’m sharing it verbatum. It’s from NPR.org – you can read a lot more here.

People who go outside to exercise are often shamed on TV and on social media for risky behavior. Is it fine to go outside for a walk, run or bike ride?

The White house coronavirus guidelines for the 15-day period that started Monday encourage avoiding “discretionary travel, shopping trips and social visits,” as well as “social gatherings in groups of a lot more than 10 people.” But outdoor exercise is not on the list.

So unless local guidelines instruct otherwise, fresh air and outdoor exercise are allowed – though it’s crucial to keep some distance between yourself and others. The coronavirus is thought to spread primarily through close contact between people – within about six feet.

The primary mode of transmission is through respiratory droplets.

There is better airflow outside than in confined spaces. That air flow outside reduces the risk of one person transmitting the virus to another through droplets in the air, says Albert Ko, the Yale epidemiologist. “So if you’re going out and you’re hiking or biking or running and you’re not within, say, six feet or 10 feet of another person, I would consider that a healthy, safe practice.”

Ko also points to the significant mental health issues that can be caused or exacerbated when people are cooped up.

“My personal feeling is that if people are practicing sound respiratory hygiene, sound hand hygiene, they’re distancing themselves physically from others outside, and you’re exercising and walking in the park — I think that’s actually a good public health practice.”

Coronavirus general information Resources

World health organization (WHO) – most current info on the Coronavirus, staying healthy and more

Center for disease control (CDC) – Coronavirus prevention & government’s guidelines to stay healthy

Coronavirus special Resources

If you want to help from home – consider donating to an organization working to serve those impacted by COVID19.  You can donate money online to local or national groups. There are a few organizations that caught my attention and I’d like to share…

Note – if you or someone you know is able to help others or needs help themselves, please pass it on.

Domestic violence victims isolated with their abusers – I’ve read several articles speculating that domestic violence and child abuse will rise during the quarantine.

If you would like to learn a lot more check out – The national coalition against domestic violence (NCADV).  learn how you can help others, donate or get help yourself.

Or consider making a donation to a local domestic violence shelter. 

Many small local non-profits depend on fundraisers and other events – but all those crucial fundraisers have been cancelled due to COVID19 so they may be missing out on much needed funds and getting a lot more calls for help at the same time.

 

National Shelters and Resources:
The Hotline – national domestic violence Hotline 

Domestic Shelters.org can help you locate a local shelter

Sanctuary for Families 

Su Casa – domestic violence shelter with info on donations and services they provide

 

Local Resources:
Many areas have local, smaller shelters supplying services to victims of domestic violence. check your area for their phone number or web site for a lot more information on how you can help or get help.

NYC 24-Hour Hotline for domestic violence Survivors: 800-621-HOPE (4673)

Friends and family – how to help someone in an abusive relationship 

Futures Without violence – site with a lot of links and info on this topic

 

Important Tip:

Safety Alert: computer use can be monitored and is impossible to completely clear. If you are terrified your Internet usage might be monitored, call the national domestic violence Hotline at 1−800−799−7233 or TTY 1−800−787−3224.

You’re on my lil running and healthy living web site – RunEatRepeat.com – which isn’t about abuse but if you like to erase this site from your memory = go to therapy? Or if you’d like to erase it from your browser history you can do the following (below). Which can also be done for other websites.

Burnt toast

I like my toast (and brussel sprouts) burnt, however today I went a bit far with it! It’s fine I still ate  as well as took pleasure in it ? I made cinnamon sugar toast as well as had an egg fluff on the side for protein. I likewise munched on some blubes while making coffee as well as burning the toast.

I utilized half an english muffin as well as a piece of ww Tuscan pane. These different as well as extremely burnt breads make my breakfast look so tragic.

I am the proud owner of a new camera! Finally. My camera was dying a while back so I began using stole Ben’s camera. last week I somehow managed to break off the spring that keeps the battery door closed and have been holding closed with a rubber band (classy, I know).

Now all I need is someone to teach me how to use this damn thing!

I failed again at breakfast… here’s the thing – I don’t like eating before I run in the morning because I hate waiting for so long after I eat to get up and go. But, I have been waking up, checking email, writing, farting around… and an hour and a half later I’m too hungry to run without food.

So, I had a small bowl of cereal to tide me over.

But, by the time I got home from a 6 mile run my body feels depleted (it’s strange I don’t feel Hungry, but more empty?). Anyways, I ended up eating an orange, two granola bars with milk,  guacamole with a tortilla and this masterpiece tragedy.I realize why I’m doing this so I have a plan to fix it…

Here is my fuel Well in the morning Plan:

1. get out the door to run/exercise within 30 minutes of waking

OR

2. If I realize I will not be running for over an hour eat a “normal” breakfast and have a small snack when I get back.

This isn’t “rocket surgery” ? What is my deal?

Question of the Day: What is the best package you’ve ever received in the mail?

Me: I love getting packages – especially food ? each time I get samples from a company or something I purchased I am so excited and happy to open it. But, I’m lame. Happy, but lame.
