New year, new start, new possibilities. That’s how I look at running my first half marathon this March, the 2017 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon. This is the biggest challenge that I’ve undertaken in quite a while, one that I am more than excited to tackle. I’ve spent 17 years training runners for these races, and it feels good to take on the task of running one myself.
I am very proud to announce that I am gearing up to run my first marathon, the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon!
After spending a long, 17+ year career in Physical Therapy training runners, I’m ready to go and try my hand at running a marathon myself! As I go through the whole process of training for this, my very first race, I will be documenting my progress weekly.
So to celebrate, we’re taking National Running Day and turning it into a month long celebration in the clinic! Every workday, we’ll be posting video on our Instagram of a staff member that’s “getting their run on” in the office. Even though we’re stuck in our office, that’s no reason to not be able to get in a run!
This year, we have decided to both inform and celebrate the field of Physical Therapy. On social media, we will be constantly posting material intended to educate and inform the public about the benefits that Physical Therapy can have on a person’s life in ways that are both obvious and also not so obvious
In addition, we will also be celebrating the month and also the running of the NYC Marathon by holding a giveaway. So, we thought it only fitting that a Fitbit be our first giveaway prize!
One of the most important ways to prevent running injuries is to stick to a good stretching program before and after a run. Having a few reliable stretches that you perform regularly can help you both warm up and cool down your muscles, allowing for a smoother recovery process. Here I’ll give a few tips on 3 stretches that I regularly recommend for my running clients.
