Resolution Recap, March

2022 Resolution Recap- March



Physically: March was really centered around the last month of training for the Gorge Waterfalls 50k on 4/3.

And I did really well in that realm. After a couple ‘lower’ weeks (40 and 47 miles) in late February/early March due to travel and a cold; I finished the training push with two strong weeks (65 and 72 miles), including good long trail runs.

I’ve also had a couple taper weeks now, in which I cut down to 38 miles and now just about 18 miles before Sunday’s 50k.


I feel pretty well prepared for it, as prepared as I can at least… so I’m taking solace in that and trying not to be anxious going into it.

I also continue to hit my daily meditation and stretching goals, and actually look forward to the meditation now. It feels more like a reward than a duty.

Where I have fallen off a bit is with my strength training, which… is ironic and pretty hypocritical really, since I preach it so heavily. It’s partially due to being sick early in the month and tapering late in the month combined with a busy schedule. I meant to do some reduced load lifting this month and didn’t do as much as intended.. oh well, I will get back on it next month.



Still no volunteering yet, but do have a couple in the books for the summer.


How are you all doing on yours?

Running stronger, transparent pricing, out-of-network experience

After getting injured running last year, I was referred to Zenith from a friend and couldn't be happier with my experience. Due to scheduling conflicts on my end, I've seen almost every PT there, but have especially enjoyed my appointments with Mariel - she's very fun to chat with and super helpful at figuring out the puzzle of what underlying issues are causing my injuries. We've worked together to figure out a path forward that has gotten me back to running feeling stronger than I ever have before. From the cost side, the appointments are more expensive than you'd get at an in-network PT place, but because there's no insurance critiquing everything you can actually figure out what the root cause of your injuries are. I was able to work on my ankle, foot, hip, and low back all within the same appointment which has been a challenge for me at other PT places. Zenith's pricing is also very transparent so you know what everything costs up front, and my insurance still reimbursed a good chunk of it as an out of network claim.

Upbeat, friendly, deeply supportive during hip replacement

The spirit of Zenith is upbeat, friendly, and deeply supportive. From being greeted by Allie at the front desk, to interacting with James in the office, to sessions with the professional providers, it just feels good to walk through that door! I have worked with PT Mariel, both before and after hip replacement. She is equal parts exceptional knowledge and motivational joy. And I've just started working with Alex, the personal trainer. He is also obviously very knowledgeable, dedicated, and personable. Both he and Mariel are committed to creating individualized programs by listening and responding to their clients in order to build not just optimal physical strength and recovery but also to educate us in ways that will support our on-going health and resilience. Zenith really does live up to its name!

Small group training made a big change

Zenith has small group personal training that has empowered me to make so much positive change in just a few months! Alex has introduced a newly-beloved part of my weekly routine to me: weight lifting. I’m so glad I took the leap and joined! 4 stars for now because the time slots for working out there are pretty limited, but they’re hoping to expand those in the coming months!
