#MermaidMonday is back! 🧜🏼‍♀️If the amount of injury messages I’ve been getting lately is any indication, winter training can sometimes get the best of us. 😝 If you’re dealing with a little issue or a full blown injury, I can’t say enough about how beneficial the pool can be to help maintain fitness without the impact of running. Luckily I’ve managed to stay healthy this fall/winter so far (knock on wood, please! 🙏🏼), but if you’ve been following along you know that’s not always the case! Swimming has saved my season numerous times and even now that I’m healthy I incorporate a 30 min swim into my schedule 1-2 times a week instead of a double run. If you want to learn more about my journey with swimming and how it can be a life-saver for runners, check out the link in my bio for full mermaid deets. #runnerturnedmermaid 📷: talbotcox
