It definitely helped me work on a few things and like you I know I have some natural tendencies that as long as I'm uninjured I'm not going to worry about, but try to focus on strengthening the weak areasRunToTheFinishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13995696358152941044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137172801546792811.post-36498596945049982392014-09-04T11:33:34.351-04:002014-09-04T11:33:34.351-04:00Amanda - I've resigned myself to the fact that...Amanda - I've resigned myself to the fact that as I get older, this is just going to be what I HAVE to do. It's no longer optional. Oh the joys of aging! :(<br />Wendy - I've been lifting seriously for the last 3 years but my coach took me out of the gym in January to focus more on cycling. I was still doing body weight work but it's not the same as actually lifting weights. At least not in my opinion. So, needless to say, I'm happy to be back in the gym. I think all your cross fit work will pay off big time in your marathon training! I can't believe you only have 5 weeks left!

I'm not anywhere near the level you are at, but I have seen great results from the work I'm doing with weights. I feel like I'm reversing the aging process a little bit. Let's see how this all translates to my marathon in 5 weeks.<br /><br />~Wendy at Taking the Long Way HomeWendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137172801546792811.post-76584313739535767542014-09-03T08:36:08.622-04:002014-09-03T08:36:08.622-04:00I can completely relate to this post.

But it pays off and if we can run healthy into the future, all worth it!misszippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816276167373260149noreply@blogger.com
