A nice, easy walk/ run workout tonight. Followed by yoga for runners, because my legs are in need of some stretching 😬😭. My favorite Florence Park garden is blooming and looks amazing. Also, the weather was perfect 😍 #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
A nice easy slow run this morning
I have ran three times this week. I haven’t been that motivated the last few weeks so I didn’t run for a little bit. This week I decided it was time. I got up and ran tues and Wed and today is my day off so I got to go for a run outside. That always makes me happy. For me, when I’m not very motivated I have to just do it and then I find my motivation or I have to have a goal. What about you?? Have a blessed day.
✨⭐️ Golden Driller 5K 2024 ⭐️✨ __________________________________________________ Did the Golden Driller 5K this morning and it was officially my first time trying to run since November, since I injured my left knee. I have not done any running since my last half marathon I did in November, and I have been taking it easy, strength training & babying my left knee. But I definitely can tell my running was so weird today lol. I can tell I am running different & favoriting my right leg more while doing it. I tried to stay at an easy pace, with some walking on & off, but you can tell my running was off. But wanted today to be like my 1st day of training/seeing where I am with running & my left knee. It felt great to be out there and see what I can do. Still some slight pain, but I know it’ll still take some time. Also was pretty excited to see that I came in 4th place in my age group. Hey for not running since November, that was kinda nice lol. But as long as my knee is not hurting after today, this means I will officially start my training for races, & working my way up to train for my fall half marathons. I will continue to do my strength training as usual, my knee conditioning exercises and rotating from running to using the elliptical. Just don’t want to do too much to soon or over train. Gonna ease into it slowly and listen to my body. Thank you to all the volunteers out there and Fleet Feet for an awesome race! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
I tracked my workout as a walk, because it was a walk/ run and the last one I did felt like a walk with a bit of jogging thrown in. This one was more of a interval running workout 🤷🏼♀️. I was happy with my times. I averaged 9:30's in my speed running portions. And in my second half (I added in a power walk for more time), I averaged 12:30's for my fast walking intervals. We are in peak robot season at TU, but they were having some sort of fancy event and the lawn robots were not invited 😢. #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
Very easy and slow run this morning. I’m working on keeping my heart rate in a range.
Sharing a win from one of our @sherunsthistown group members! This is such a testimony to why I love group runs. It can be intimidating to show up to run with strangers. There’s often a misconception that a new runner may hold someone else back. The reality is that groups are full of people who run a range of paces so there’s likely someone who you’ll match well with if you give it a try. And if there’s some faster runners, they’ll challenge you a little bit and help you grow. That’s certainly the case with this awesome woman! The first time she joined, we ran maybe 15 second intervals and it was challenging. She’s coming back after some time off and the group has helped her in so many ways. What she doesn’t realize is that she helps us too. She’s super fun and we always look forward to runs with her! Let this be your sign to join the group you’ve had an eye on and make some new friends! 🩵
I toured more of *White City than I normally do, on my way to Braden Park tonight. It's one of my favorite neighborhoods (mostly for the pond, but it does have pretty houses as well). *I'm googled it once, and I'm pretty sure White City is named for the farm that was there or the family that owned the land 🤷🏼♀️ #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
What's the best kind of Sunday? A killer progression run followed by worship at church, lunch, and an afternoon on the couch prepping for the week ahead!! I know most people on here don't care about my workouts, but hear me out! I have to share them occasionally because I need to document my suffering for my runners. That way, when they complain about the hard workout days, I can prove to them they're not alone and I literally feel their pain!! Today I knocked out a 4 mile progression finishing at goal race pace and whew! Hard, but fulfilling! #runner #runcoach #happyrunner #runningandworship # #sundaysareforrunning #southtulsaruncoach #runtulsa #9run8
4 semi-easy miles today. After my HR jumping so much during a run a few days ago, I intentionally went 🐢 S L O W 🐢. My goal was to keep HR decent and try to still run the whole time. I managed it! 🙌🏼 Running after a race is so dang humbling though and it’s definitely been a pride check for me. As much as I want to get back to speeds preparing for Bentonville half, my body wants to chill and recover. My pace today was over 2 1/2min slower per mile than I ran the half. And it was what my body called “easy” today. So I rolled with it. Happy Sunday Runday, y’all 😘 #motherrunner #9run8 #longrunsunday #morningmiles #easymiles #irgtraining #instarun #saucony #senitasisters #leagueofgarmin #run #getoutside #tulsarunner #runtul
This morning tested my mettle! It was a struggle to roll out of bed, but I knew the long run was non-negotiable. Consistency is key! We talked about life, battled the wind and solved all the world’s problems one stride at a time! #RunningTherapy #MarathonTraining #9run8
I took a short power walk this afternoon through the fairgrounds. I like seeing the horse show participants 🐎😍. The weather was great and I'm pretty impressed with how fast I can walk. I can definitely run faster, but not for long periods of time. Maybe I need to just take up day walking 🤷🏼♀️😁. #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
Another Saturday of dragging my ass out of bed and at least running some miles. I think I need to find some new routes to explore. I'm getting a bit bored with my courses after 4 years. The sitting flowers have given me something to look forward to though. And baby geese should be popping up soon. #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
I had a hard time dragging myself out of bed this morning. When I finally did get it off bed, I wasn't feeling like running long. So I settled for hilly and longer. But with lots of ducks and geese as a reward for my sacrifice 🪿🦆 #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
Beautiful morning to support and cheer on 5k and half marathon runners at the T-Town run today. I’ll get back at it soon #WahooRunning #TulsaRunner #9Run8
Just over 8.3mi with this beautiful soul to round out the month and begin the taper for @runbentonville! I ran over 104 miles this month and I am SO proud of it!! Feeling good going into this taper and toeing the line healthy! Let’s do this! 💪🏼 Happy Saturday Runday - doesn’t have the same ring to it 😜 #motherrunner #9run8 #solesisters #halfmarathontraining #irgtraining #instarun #letsdothis #longrun #saturday
I felt sluggish, tired and out of shape on my run tonight. I even took (speed) walk breaks up the hills. So I was very surprised to hear my pace after my first mile. It was wayfaster than I felt 🤷🏼♀️. The workout wasn't particularly challenging and my legs were tight, but I managed to turn in a great run, in spite of myself 🤷🏼♀️😂. The weather also did a great job 🌞🌅 #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
Not the worst finish line pic I've ever had. At least I don't look like I was completely dying. 😂
⛰️ Aaaaand that’s a wrap on PEAK WEEK for @runbentonville half! ⛰️ I’m so dang proud of myself. I got all four my runs in while on vacation this week AND today with the post vacation hangover 😅 I have worked so hard to be consistent during this training cycle and it’s paying off. My splits are getting faster, paces feel easier, and I’m feeling stronger. This week was one of my highest weeks - topping out at just over 27mi and should be around 100mi for the month! 👏 Ready to zone it in these next two weeks to gear up for race day with my Runner Girl Gang! 🖤 Happy Sunday Runday! 🏃🏻♀️ #motherrunner #9run8 #tulsarunner #boymom #instarun #consistency #getitdone #harderbetterfasterstronger #irgtraining #vacation #springbreak #peakweek #halfmarathontraining #intervals #runok #runnergirlgang
It was surprisingly chilly on my run today. The flowers were pretty though. I ran short-er, because I've been congested for a couple of weeks now (thanks flowering trees 😩). #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
A beautiful evening for a run
I’ve seen a few posts + threads calling out running groups for including the phrase “All paces welcome” and failing to honor the promise. The thing is - there ARE some great groups that do honor their promise. That’s something that @coach.sprenk and I both created for our local community: groups that meet athletes where they are and support them as they grow in their training. We collaborate to bring each of our groups together so they have even more support also. I agree that there’s many groups that tell you to show up and then take off, running much faster easy paces. You’re left to navigate unfamiliar courses if no one else hangs with you. But you’ll never know that there’s another group that will make every effort to stay close to you if you never show up. And if those groups do not exist in your area, you can create it! “Build it and they will come.” Our local @sherunsthistown chapter was built on that premise. I wanted a No Drop group that’s all about community + accountability. If that’s what you want want for your area, it may be up to you to establish.
It's not quite spring, but the trees are formicating and the tulips are blooming! Which means it was time for my annual trip thru Utica Square to see their beautiful flowers. The run was perfect! Great weather, I felt great and the flowers were lovely. #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
Today was a huge WTF? I was feeling so good and then I looked down when I thought I had two-ish miles to go and then my watch said I was done. It glitched and somehow screwed up my miles. I think it rallied finally towards the end and I even ran another .5mi when it ended because I had no idea where I should be mileage wise. All I know is I did have a solid workout and some really good miles thrown in there! Happy Saturday!!! 💛 #motherrunner #9run8 #glitch #garmin #wtf #longrun #saturdaylongrun #tulsarunner #irgtraining #womensrunning #senitaathletics #saucony
12 long run miles with @o12turtles this morning! This run was sooo much better than last week. I ate intentionally yesterday to make sure I was getting adequate protein and carbs for today. I even ate some graham crackers on my way to Jennifer’s house for some extra carbs after I already had my morning bagel. Feeling good for @runbentonville in a few weeks! Even Jennifer said (and I agree) @indianarunnergirl is training me up good!!! ✨✨ Happy Sunday Runday!!! ❤️ 🏃🏻♀️ #motherrunners #morningmiles #sundayrunday #instarun #9run8 #tulsarunner #momswhorun #daylightsavings #halfmarathontraining #irgtraining
10 miles always feels good!! Feeling challenged and yet accomplished. And knowing I can run my half marathon in 4 weeks. What a beautiful morning to start a beautiful day! #saturdaymiles #saturdaylongrun #weekendmiles #runallthemiles #motherrunner #fleetfeettulsabrokenarrow #springtraining #halfmarathontraining #9run8 #runtulsa
I had a minor catastrophe on my run this morning. I forgot to start a workout in the Peloton app and since they don't sync with Garmin, I ran 4.88 miles without Peloton knowing about it 😂🤷🏼♀️. I also tried and failed to redeem a Dutch Bros reward on my way home. They were either busy or understaffed or not staffed with the best 🤷🏼♀️. Regardless, they were not offering service to walk ups (unless you wanted to wait 15 + minutes to have your order taken). But other than those 2 things, it was a great workout. #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
@shamrocktheville 2024 is in the books! Even though it was pretty chilly and windy to start, it was a great race. Came in right at the pace I thought I would for being my first official 5k after several years. Now I have the itch to do more! Zoo Run next, just have to decide on the 5k or 10k.
Lately my Saturday easy runs have been TRASH 🗑️. But I also realized on my run today I’ve been super loose with my macros 😬 for about the last three weeks ( #life). Fuel in = Power ⚡️ Getting back to it today and see if it helps. Big long run on deck tomorrow - 1️⃣2️⃣ miles! 3 sorta easy miles today with some walking thrown in. Happy Saturday 💛 #saturday #motherrunner #9run8 #instarun #womenrunning #womensrunningcommunity #irgtraining #halfmarathontraining #tulsarunner
Ready to Shamrock the Ville tomorrow morning! #shamrocktheville
Racing plans changed but still trying to keep at it #WahooRunning #9Run8 #joyoftherun #WeAreTifosi #TifosiOptics
I had great weather, great scenery and a beautiful sunset for my run tonight. I love visiting the water fowl at Braden Park 😍🦆🪿 #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
I'm back! Back to running on Saturday morning 😁🤷🏼♀️. It's been a few weeks since I had a good, long(ish) Saturday run, but today felt good. The nice weather helped. I planned my route to check out the possible Chick-fil-A construction on Utica. It does look promising 🤷🏼♀️. It looks like spring is trying to make its presence felt around here. Some trees are blooming (fortunately those trees are not the awful Bradford pears 🦨👃🏼🦨😩}. The lawn weeds are poppin' and the wildlife (including insects) are out and about. #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
It’s been a bit since I’ve run… #WahooRunning #9Run8 #joyoftherun #halfmarathontraining #WeAreTifosi #TifosiOptics
Lookie who I got to run with this morning! 🤩 8 solid progression miles with @brlysmomruns to kick off my Sunday. Started off with a 12:02 ➡️ 10:50 🥳 Still not feeling 100% with whatever mucus-crud germ I picked up, but happy with how today went! Happy Sunday Runday, friends!! #solesisters #motherrunner #9run8 #tulsarunner #runningfriends #halfmarathontraining #irgtraining
Enjoying a little sunshine with the Sanctum sunglasses from Tifosi #TWahooRunning #9Run8 #joyoftherun #halfmarathontraining #WeAreTifosi #TifosiOptics
When I woke up yesterday morning for my long run the temperature was at miserably cold levels. So I fed the cats and went back to bed. It was still the same level of cold a couple hours later, so I scrolled on my phone instead. It's still cold today, but less miserable. I went for a walk instead of running, testing out my day walking skills for a longer time. #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
Y’all 🤩🤩🤩🤩 It was a beautiful morning to log some miles with @o12turtles. We conquered some big hills, ran faster than the last two weeks, and longer too! I’m super proud of us! Running (for the most part) has been feeling good and fun lately. My long run paces are getting quicker and I feel solid on them. This time last year running 13:xx/mi was a huge accomplishment (and still is!) and now I’m running in the 11s and feeling good doing so! Excited for @runbentonville half in early April! Happy Sunday Runday! 🩵❄️ #motherrunner #solesister #9run8 #tulsarunner #morningrun #sundayrunday #longrun #irgtraining #halfmarathontraining
Thrilled to conquer the Ancient Trail Trek 15k run today! Surprised and grateful for a podium placement in my age group. 🥇 Bonus for not getting lost or falling and seeing my Ragnar girls out there. #TrailRunning #FirstPlace #9run8 #ragnartraining #marathontraining #sasquatchsquad
I earned a badge for running on Valentine's Day 😍🤷🏼♀️. I'll take it. I also finally got around to trying the pink foam at Dutch Bros. It tasted pink 😁. And @tobygregory70 bought us heart shaped sushi 😋 #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
Today was Karyn and my second year "competing" as a child in the @fleetfeettulsaba Sweetheart Run. It's an honor to have someone willing to be on my couples team 😁. And to have someone whining to drive me home after the race. I ran to Fleet Feet from my house, then we walked the race. It was a great new course this year #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
Hit my favorite trail for an easy-ish 4 miles! The cold wind sucked, and there was not much sun, but I'm happy I went (because I almost talked myself out of it). #saturdaysareforrunning #runningtheriver #westbanktrails #runner #runningtulsa #9run8 #happyrunner #motherrunner #runcoach #thisgirlruns #irunthistown #strong #teamrunrun #coachpowders
Ran in shorts and a tshirt the other day. Now it feels like 39F… gotta love Oklahoma weather! #WahooRunning #9Run8 #joyoftherun #halfmarathontraining #WeAreTifosi #TifosiOptics
Excited to represent Tifosi Optics as a 2024 ambassador! Looking forward to some running and sunshine! #WahooRunning #9Run8 #joyoftherun #halfmarathontraining #WeAreTifosi #TifosiOptics
Seven rainy miles with @o12turtles this morning! 🌧️ We woke up before the sun (and before most of everyone else in T-Town) and were sprinkled on until the very end where a heavy - but glorious - mist came down. Ankle/heel is still trying to hang in there. Currently icing it with a bag of frozen corn 😂 but my run felt great and it didn’t bother me at all. Happy Sunday Runday, y’all! 🩵 #motherrunner #solesisters #halfmarathontraining #irgtraining #instarun #rainymiles #rainraingoaway #9run8 #tulsarunner #okwx #noxgear
This is the longest run I've been on this year (I think). The weather was overcast, but otherwise excellent. I got to wear short sleeves! I ran over near Lortondale, but managed to miss it completely. I headed East instead of my usual south one I crossed Yale 🤷🏼♀️. It was less aesthetically pleasing, but otherwise fine #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
Streets are more fun than treadmills! #TeamUltra #WahooRunning #9Run8 #joyoftherun #halfmarathontraining
It was a great night for running. Temps near 70 degrees and a slew of snack robots crossing my path 😁. I also saw one of the neighborhood cats on my way home #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
Tonight was my first run outside in over a week. We're finally back to reasonable winter temps (60 degrees 😁🤷🏼♀️). It was a run full of many delightful smells! Numerous lovely laundry scents. Some pot. And I think maybe an incense factory burned down on 15th 😂. I smelled the same incense at my son's guitar lesson and on my run, 1/2 mile apart. I also noticed it a couple of blocks north, but same general areas And I stopped by Dutch Bros on my way home for double points! #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
My little Samson had a big weekend. Friday he turned 5 months, yesterday he got his last round of puppy shots and today he ran his FIRST mile after church🎉🎉🎉 It was a tough start, but once he figured a few things out he did SO good!!

I got up early to run, but it was raining and 30-something degrees, so back to bed I went 😁. I had to take Steele to school for an esports match this afternoon, and decided to do a walking workout at Turkey mountain to replace the missed run. I'm really loving that little stretch of trail on the west bank of the River. It's so pretty. And I made it all the way to the wastewater treatment plant 👃💩🤷🏼♀️. #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl #walking
Never thought I would earn a badge for running on a treadmill… #WahooRunning #9Run8 #joyoftherun #halfmarathontraining
Received an email about the @tulsazoo run today.. Its exactly 12 weeks away and I feel like I should do it🤔 NOW the question is.... Train for a 5k PR or a 10k PR?!?!?! Wanna train with me??

Treadmill miles are boring miles!! But cold weather running is by far the worst, so I am thankful to have this tool... I tried to make the time go faster by turning up my worship playlist and extending my prayer time. It was so good! God is moving! Things are finally shifting. I can't wait to watch His plan for my life unfold in the next few weeks/months! #treadmillmiles #Sundayrunday #runnergirl #runcoach #trainingplan #powderscoaching #winterrunning #garagegym #okierunner #9run8 #tulsarunner
Runner? Bank robber? Just leading a life of mystery. Or misery … that was a cold one. 🥶🥶🥶 #run #runtulsarun #runner #runnersofinstagram #thesweatlife #lululemon #lululemonlegacyambassador #running #womensrunningcommunity #RT66run #runtul #9🏃🏼♀️8 #marathon #marathonmom #marathontraining #halfmarathon #motherrunner #9run8 #tulsa #tulsarunner #okrunner #okierunner #marathonmom #halfcrazy #teamnuun #teamspibelt
It's still unreasonably cold here, so I opted to head to the gym and run on a treadmill instead of suffering through sub-20 degree temperatures outside 🥶. I started with a 45 minute progression run (and I did not process as much as I was asked to 😁🤷🏼♀️). I've always hated running on treadmills because it's sooooo boring. Also it's easy to cut the runs short, because your can just hit stop and you're done. If I'm on the road and want to end a run early, I have to find a ride back 😂. Having a specific workout did at least keep me moving, if not quite as quickly as I was supposed to go 🏃♀️. Also I got a badge from Garmin! #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
Cold, cold run when the sweat freezes #TeamUltra #WahooRunning #9Run8 #joyoftherun #halfmarathontraining
Not my best performance, but that’s ok. Marathon training is so weird, some runs feel like you’ve take a step backwards. Just have to trust the process. Still took 3rd place overall in the 25k. #instarunning #stravarunner #runlove #tulsa #tulsarunner #9run8 #okierunner #runtulsa #ironmantraining #marathontraining #marathonrunner #marathoner #halfmarathon #halfmarathontraining #tri #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #runnersofinstagramm
Pretty sure I’m breaking the biggest rule with race day running - wear nothing new on race day. But the only thing I’ve ran in (or it’s been like 2-3 years since) before is the underwear (not pictured 😏) and my shoes 😂😂😂 But with 10° and a northeastern wind, you do whatcha gotta do! Hoping for a sub 3, but we’ll see how the cards fall tomorrow. Regardless, I’m covering 15.5mi and that’s an accomplishment all on its own ✨ #FlatRunner is good to go! Let’s go! 👊 #flatstephanie #motherrunner #runnersworldtulsa #raceday #longrun #freezing #allthelayers #okwx #tulsarunner #9run8 #irgtraining
Glad to get on the road and off the treadmill! #WahooRunning #9Run8 #tifosieyewear #joyoftherun #halfmarathontraining
My attempt to run on the treadmill was a fail so instead... Me: I'm going to run over by downtown. I can't get to the treadmills. My kid: Okay, don't slip. Me: Nah, they cleared the trails yesterday... I didn't take into account the bridges don't melt or get cleared the same🤦♀️ But I didn't fall, and I got in a decent 2 mile run! Went faster than I intended to but I wanted OUT of the cold! (That last pic is my little "work from home" buddy!! Back to school tomorrow!🎉) #prayrun #runner #okierunnergirl #runOK #9run8 #happyrunner #winteryrun #snowdayrun
With temperatures in the single digits this morning, I decided to sleep in and run later. I had to take Steele to school to shoot some scenes for his next short film, so I decided to head to the river to get in my miles today. It was still crazy cold out there. But my course was pretty and had all my favorite features (a pond and a railroad track 😁). On the downside, there were some crazy steep hills 😩. #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
First Saturday with the @fleetfeettulsaba HIT/MIT Spring Training session! It was disrespectfully cold out there. But these people who come out and run/coach in 15° weather are rockstars and amaze me. Great job, everyone!! I got to hang out with H2 and H3 today. Thanks for letting me group hop! It was a cold, but great run. My water bottle was complete ice by the end 😂🥶 #coldweatherrunning #runok #runtulsa #9run8 #run #motherrunner #miles4mom #weekendmiles #saturdaymiles #runallthemiles #runningcommunity #fleetfeettulsabrokenarrow #springtraining #halfmarathontraining #garminrunning #leagueofgarmin
First Saturday training group run in this cycle. It was rough! Temp were stupid but my legs were the problem. Tight and heavy and the hills just sucked it out of me today. Definitely need to work a lot more on stretching and rolling esp with all the extra time in the gym. Have a blessed weekend y’all and stay warm.
It was spring in Oklahoma two days ago. 💐 It’s winter today. ❄️ Thursday it’s going to be Spring again. 🤷🏼♀️ Okie Rule of Thumb: Never put your summer running clothes away for the winter.

I've fallen in love with fitness walking 😁🤷🏼♀️. Since today is my day off from working out, I thought it would be a good day to squeeze in a walk before I met @karynweitl for mocktails. I realized the bat might be close enough for a 30 minute walk and I was correct! A great walk and a great time with a friend I hadn't seen in way too long 🥰 #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
Peak Week Half Marathon Long Run: A Series. Jennifer (@o12turtles) and I ran over 5mi with Deanna (@run.deanna.run) where we contemplated our dinner choices from the night before, heard sirens and contemplated our safety, and then Jennifer and I contemplated our sanity to run until 13.1 (this of course, was @indianarunnergirl doing 🤪) Knowing I had mile repeats coming up, Jennifer and I cruised the first part. Then it was GAME ON. I took each mile a little faster. Yall, I felt GOOD. I was channeling my inner Lightning McQueen and may have told myself, “I am speed” one or more times. Hey, whatever helps amiright??? 🚗⚡️ I had four miles with 5min recovery between. My miles progressively got faster and on the last mile, I let it rip. 11:18, 11:09, 10:59, 10:29 (that last 1/4mi I was in the pain cave 😅). When I finished, I looked at my overall time and compared it to how I did @okcmarathon half in April and @route66marathon half in November. I did it 5min and 12min faster 🙌🏼 I’m feeling stronger each and every day. Hard work and consistency is paying off! I’ve also been toying with macros lately and I think it had a little to do with today. Shout out to @themacrocounselor for guidance! 💪🏼 Now on to the taper as I gear up for @rwtulsa Go Short, Go Long, Go Very Long in less than two weeks! 25k or BUST! 💥 Happy Sunday Runday! 🏃🏻♀️ #motherrunner #solesisters #halfmarathon #sundayrunday #TULRGG #runnergirlgang #trainingrun #tulsarunner #9run8 #instarun #tapertime #longrun #sundaylongrun
6 mile run mid morning (temp was 36), then strength training and HIIT, followed by some red light therapy. Successful Saturday.
When my "go running" alarm went off this morning, I got up, fed the cats and then set a new, later alarm. When that alarm went off I hit snooze a couple of times and apparently turned the alarm off and went back to sleep. I finally got up when @tobygregory70 told me Sable threw up all over the basement and was crying in the litter box. So off to @stat_vet he and I went. I finally went running after leaving Sable at the vet for tests and grabbing some food for myself. My pace is a bit slow because there were 2 phone calls from the vet about his results (he's currently having bladder stones removed 😢😩). But it was a good run overall. Great weather and a nice (if very familiar) course 🤷🏼♀️ #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
Songs 30-21 of the Peloton top 50 songs was on the schedule tonight. It was my favorite so far. #runnersofinstagram #9run8 #runnergirl
Back when I worked at habitat, we had this bathroom that had all kinds of fun "features". I wanted to make a video series showcasing them (but I don't do videos, so ... 🤷🏼♀️😂). At some point the chair that was in the main part of the bathroom ended up in the ADA stall, right next to the toilet. @karynweitl and I called it the buddy chair (so you could sit next to your buddy while they peed 😂). So I was very excited tonight to discover that my gym had a buddy chair in their ADA stall. I've been working through the peloton top 50 songs of 2023 series. I've done 3 of the 5 in the series. #runnersofinstagram #runnergirl #9run8
