NEXT STOP 🐷 FLYING PIG! Happy race week to everyone running this weekend! #runnersempire #runwithaimgroup #motherrunner #runflorida #runjax #c25k #flyingpigmarathon #runningcommunity #runhappy
Getting my run in as the mom of a 16 year old! Amazing how time flies! Bizarrely, getting older is not one of the things that bothers me. In so many ways, I see age as a gift and I consider myself so fortunate to be able to witness my teenager forge his path. It’s been one of the coolest privileges, and I can’t wait to see what comes next. It’s going to be a great day of celebration! Are you celebrating anything today? #streakingwiththecoolkids #running #RunJax #injuryRecovery #RunChat #Training #FitMom #RunnerMom #FitnessBlogger #RunnersOfInstagram #RunningBlogger #SRTT #FitAfter40 #WomensRunningCommunity #RunningCommunity #GoalDigger #HoneyStingerHive #TeamRoadID #LeagueOfgarmin #BeatYesterday #RunHappy #BDRAmbassador #goodrflamboyance #Aer2024 #aerteamblue #jaxrun
Let’s get caught up, shall we? Yesterday, I left the house crazy early for the #spudrun10k in Hastings. It’s one of my favorites, in part because all runners get a head of cabbage and fresh potatoes 🥔 as part of their swag! Things went amazing until mile 4.5, when the heavens opened and we got drenched by a nasty rain 😭. I was so unprepared and spent the last half mile trying to shield my eyes so my lenses didn’t wash out! But I finished strong and can’t wait to share more with you on the blog on Wednesday! Did you race this weekend? #running #streakingwiththecoolkids #RunJax #injuryRecovery #RunChat #Training #FitMom #RunnerMom #FitnessBlogger #RunnersOfInstagram #RunningBlogger #SRTT #FitAfter40 #WomensRunningCommunity #RunningCommunity #GoalDigger #HoneyStingerHive #TeamRoadID #LeagueOfgarmin #BeatYesterday #RunHappy #BDRAmbassador #goodrflamboyance #Aer2024 #aerteamblue #jaxrun

Miles by morning, metal by night. Put in a strong effort at the K9s United 9K - joining a strong @1stplacesports heavy podium - then snuck up to Atlanta to see Make them Suffer and ERRA rip at The Masquerade. Solid Saturday. 🤘🏃🏻♂️🤠 📸 (1, 3, 5): @anthonyduran904 . #BeAtomic #runjax #1stplacesports #makethemsuffer #erra
Run Riverside 5k: Time: 19:06 (PR😂😂😂) Pace: 6:09 OVR: 3 of 221 3rd place overall. I acknowledge that this wasn’t the biggest race. However when I think of my first 5k and how far away the top 3 seemed to me, I didn’t think I would ever be able to author a post like this, unless I was running in a very small field. Today’s race showed me how far I’ve come on this journey, consequently it also showed me how far I have to go. For right now this hairy “normal” dude just finished top 3 in an official race. To put a bow on this post, you can do it.If I’ve inspired one person to get out and do the hard thing than I’ve accomplished my mission. Just stay motivated and stay the course, the journey may not be easy but it’s worth it. You get out what you put in. 🍻 #runjax #runtherapy #runpuma #runtoinspire #runningmotivation #runyourrace #beyourself #crushit #fastlikeacat #havefun #keepgoing #liveitwell #neverarrived #pushyourlimits #raceday #staymotivated #training #youcandoit #junkheadbands #meundies #puma #pumarunning

Fueled for this race with cookie bars and 2 hours of sleep. Nailed it. The monsoon at the beginning was a nice added touch ✨ #spudrun #runnersempire #racesmith #motherrunner #runwithaimgroup #floridarunner #runjax #runflorida #c25k #spibelt @spibelt #runningcommunity
Another run done ✅ 9k for K9s! K9s United was my first 5k race I signed up for back in 2016 and I'll forever support this foundation 💙 #backtheblue Today I ran my first official 9k race! Everything went wrong right from the beginning 🥴 it started pouring rain right before the race, so my feet were soaking wet & my headphones wouldn't work! I kept trying to get them to work while running but it just wouldn't work 🤷🏼♀️ I said F it and just went! My runs per mile got quicker, but if I have my music in my ears, I'm believe I would have done better. Either way, I finished! I crossed that finish line and almost threw up 🥵 Finished at 1hr 3 mins! I'm proud of myself and I'm so grateful my mom was there to cheer me on at the finish line! Love you Mom 🤟🏼 Now that I'm back in Jax again, I'll be attending this race every year. Come run with me! #9ksunited #9kfork9s #runjax #momswhorun
Race Fit (vol. 7)…… Within this week I completely changed the outfit I wanted to roll with for the race. I’ll save that one for later. Tomorrow’s race is a red and black vibe. With the exception of the tuxedos making their racing debut tomorrow. Should be a fun little 5k tomorrow. #runjax #runnersofinstagram #runpuma #beyourself #liveitwell #pushyourself #raceweek #junkheadbands #meundies #moremiles #puma #pumarunning
A Good Day For a Run…… I can only assume that since several people were out and about running today. Though I was going from San Marco through Riverside and Into The Hill, so plenty of neighborhoods to see people working out in their respective turfs. I always enjoy doing San Marco packet pickups because it means I can alter my routes with a little more freedom. I was shooting for higher mileage, but my body told me to stop when I did. I didn’t want to overextend pre-race. I did find it interesting that San Marco was advertising the run riverside 5k more than Riverside was. Anyone racing this weekend? #runjax #runtherapy #runnersofinstagram #runtoinspire #runningmotivation #runitout #beyourself #dohardthings #havefun #keepgoing #liveitwell #pushyourself #adidasrunning #alteregorunning #mizuno #mizunorunning
Happy Friday! This week has been pretty rough but I figured I’d end it on a good note. Personally this 60-70 degrees with 60-80% humidity is perfect running weather imo, so I did 20 today! Which is my third longest outdoor run so I’m sore af but thoroughly endorphinated🏃🏼♀️ #1stplacesports #runjax #trialofmiles #garminrunning #asics #bostonorbust #marathontraining
Just a little Lactose Indulgent as We head into the weekend. I think I’ll be taking these @goodr shades to tomorrow’s #spudrun10k… after all, what better place for cow 🐄 print than a farmland race? Got in a nice walk this morning and am ready to get to it! Are you racing tomorrow? Any special plans?

Why Not Speed…… I may not be addicted to speed but I feel like it’s close I definitely have the most fun speed training. Additionally it’s something that even in training I’ve noticed a difference over the last month. I’m trying not to overhype myself for Saturday and still have fun but things are lining up and these shoes are awesome. I kept the loop pretty tight and didn’t take a breather till mile 5. It’s a race week so I’m trying to stay within my means while still striving towards that distance goal. Packet pickup tomorrow. Which means….. SAN MARCO MILES!!!!!!! and a new shirt. #runjax #runtherapy #runpuma #runnersofinstagram #runtoinspire #runningmotivation #runitfast #beyourself #dohardthings #fastlikeacat #findyourself #getoutside #havefun #liveitwell #raceweek #staymotivated #training #junkheadbands #lululemonmen #puma #pumarunning
That sun is starting to blaze again. Summer is almost here. Last run before the #spudrun10k on Saturday. It’s going to be a pretty hectic weekend but we are going to make it work and get through jt all!

I Will Not Train Speed Today I Will Not Train Speed Today I Will Not Train Speed Today Fortunately I managed to keep the pace slow and the miles easy.

Speed Test Day….. I’ve been at this speed Tuesday thing for a few weeks now. Today I got the bright idea to see if it was actually paying off. The numbers seem to indicate some progress. I can’t think of any time I’ve trained at this pace for more than 2 miles. Full progress would have been hard to measure since I got stopped by the bridge. I’ll take it though, not bad for my 2nd fastest shoe😏🍻 #runjax #runtherapy #runnersofinstagram #runningmotivation #runtoinspire #runitfast #beyourself #findyourpark #getoutside #havefun #keepgoing #liveitwell #pushyourlimits #raceweek #staymotivated #training #lululemonmen #mizuno #mizunorunning
I love ending my long runs here at the San Marco Publix/Añejo Cocina Mexicana patio…the tile and fountain remind me of Morocco and Barcelona lol. Also, I wanted to share part of my route because hitting the Fuller Warren pedestrian bridge at mile 12 is great practice for the #GateRiverRun. Personally I find the Fuller Warren steeper and harder than the Hart. This past GRR was the first I actually wasn’t scared of the “Green Monster” at all. Call me crazy, but I enjoyed it this year. We’re really lucky to have such a runner-friendly city!! #runjax #1stplacesports #trialofmiles #running #girlswhorun
#medalmonday I pushed my daughter in a stroller at the Run to the Sun on Saturday. Did pretty well considering that! @distanceprojectruns @1stplacesports @floridastriders #running #orangepark #runjax

EARTH DAY 🌎 We can't help but feel grateful that our runners get to put in miles in the multiple parks, along waterways, and beaches in and around Jacksonville. Did you know that at Marathon High, we collected new or gently used running shoes for our runners? It's one way we offset shoes in the trash while also allowing our runners to train comfortably and safely. As we step into this year's Earth Day, let us know how you are celebrating! #Earthday #rungreen #runjax #marathonhighfl 📸 @hiddenjacksonville
A Good Run Closing Out a Good Running Week…….. I needed 2.5 miles for my distance goal, I knew I wanted to run a bit longer than that so I settled on a nice 6.5 mile run, sprinkle in a few sprints and a decent pace I’m satisfied with this week. I mean recovery is for chumps right (in all seriousness I need some Z2 miles). Not sure what I’m looking at for runs next week, and also it’s a race week. Probably. #runjax #runtherapy #runnersofinstagram #runtoinspire #runningmotivation #runitout #beyourself #dohardthings #getoutside #havefun #liveitwell #pushyourself #raceweek #staymotivated #training #lululemonmen #nike #nikerunning

That was fun…… I’m reasonably sure the basketball players at fishweir park thought I was crazy. I mean I’m not fully sure I can argue that, but interval speed work is quite fun. Throw in a good soundtrack and we have a nice run. 2.5 miles left until I hit my distance goal. Though I’m pretty sure I’ll be going further than 2.5 miles tomorrow. The speed work seems to be paying off. Hopefully the progress continues. #runjax #runtherapy #runnersofinstagram #runtoinspire #runningmotivation #runitout #runpuma #beyourself #crushit #dohardthings #findyourpark #getoutside #havefun #keepgoing #liveitwell #pushyourself #staymotivated #training #alteregorunning #lululemonmen #puma #pumarunning

When you have the weekend off and can’t decide which race you want to do, just do them both. Started this morning winning the 30-34 Age Group at the Run to the Sun 5K. Finished the evening running a 4:53 Mile in 90 degree temps at the Big Chief 1 Mile Championship. It was a fantastic Saturday with so many awesome people. #runjax #1stplacesportsraceteam #runtothesun5k #bigchief1mile #run
Flat Jen ready to go 👍🏼. Regular, human Jen not quite sure 😂. It’s a late start for a race but I’m ok with that - it gives Mother Nature a chance to warm up a bit. This Florida girl is a little chilly and thankful I have my arm sleeves. I so appreciate all the messages, texts, and comments! I’ll use them to help me power through tomorrow ❤️. Sometimes I get caught up in the “racing” aspect and lose sight on the joy running brings. My goal for tomorrow is simple: enjoy the end to this journey and get my 10th marathon medal 🏅 😊. Good luck to those running the TCS London Marathon. As my brother reminded me, we are winners as soon as we cross the start line! @humagel #runlondon #marathonrunner #runjax #humabeing #runcoach #findthejoy
Realized this morning that a fall marathon means summer training. 🫠 full send? #runnersempire #runwithaimgroup #motherrunner #floridarunner #runflorida #runjax #c25k #runhappy #running #runningcommunity
Had an awesome Saturday morning at Florida Striders Run to the Sun #5k with @1stplacesports 🌅🏃♀️ Such beautiful weather and sunrise over the river, and a couple of feathered friends 😎 Had a best time in a while, not too bad considering I was forced to rest this week due to a cold and foot injury 🤷 Maybe the rest wasn't a bad thing! 🙂 #keepmoving 🏃♀️ 😎 🌅 #running #runjax #fitness #runnerscommunity #runnersofinstagram #womensrunning #runnersworld #runflorida #runningthe904

Introducing “Tame The Beast” Training…… I don’t really have a playbook for recovery after 15 miles aside from rest. However with my distance goal in mind rest wasn’t happening. I started a little slow then I felt my momentum coming back. The goal was to keep my pace in check, even though I was running the shoes that hold all of my PR’s. The shoes want to go fast but I didn’t want to go that fast so I was training my ability to tell myself to slow down. Mission Accomplished??? #runjax #runtherapy #runnersofinstagram #runtoinspire #runningmotivation #beyourself #crushit #dohardthings #getoutside #havefun #keepgoing #liveitwell #pushyourself #staymotivated #training #mizuno #mizunorunning #uarunning
That 15 Mile Feeling…….. Today I had the idea to go through all the parks in my immediate vicinity. 15 miles 15 parks. Not gonna lie being “close” to 15 different parks is pretty nice. If I could run around it or through it I took a pic. Minus the Edgewood parks because that would have crushed my getting back momentum. Quite the literal interpretation of a park run. I’d also say 15 miles is progress. Not sure about those other 11 miles though. #runjax #runtherapy # #runnersofinstagram #runtoinspire #runningmotivation #beyourself #findyourpark #getoutside #havefun #parkrun #staymotivated #training #wheretheroadgoes #junkheadbands #myboausa #nike #nikerunning
We run this thang!!! Squad keeps me motivated and moving. 3000 miles in as we enter the 2nd quarter. Whatever your goals are, they're easier together! #RunTheYear2024 #EveryRunHasAPurpose #ChaseYourGoals #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork #LetsGo #RunnersElite #RunJax #Duuuval #OneMileAtATime
It Was Time For a Test…… I’ve been enjoying the last few runs in the new Puma’s. I feel like they are pretty well broken in so it was time to do a higher effort longer run. Minus a few tech hiccups they had a very good run. An extra challenge per the speed work yesterday. Tomorrow should be a more chill effort but only time will tell. #runjax #runpuma #runtherapy #runnersofinstagram #runningmotivation #runtoinspire #beyourself #dohardthings #findyourpark #getoutside #havefun #keepgoing #liveitwell #pushyourlimits #staymotivated #training #staymotivated #turnuptheheat #chiknlegsrunning #lululemonmen #puma #pumarunning
Logged another five miles and felt great! I had to haul butt on my last mile to make it home for an appointment, so yay for unexpected speedwork. Off to the gym to get in some upper body over lunch!

Birthday run. Still having a little issue with my breathing after being sick 🤧 for over a week. Felt like I spent a lot of time trying to clear my throat. Feeling a little better each day. #runjax #jaxrunning #beatyesterday #saucony #birthday
🏃🏻♂️💨 😝 First bit of “speed work” for my running in a very long time. Didn’t feel great, but it’s a step forward. Literally. 🥁 #runjax #running #jaxrunners #jacksonvillerunners #runmotivation #gateriverrun #gateriverruntraining #ilivejax #ilovejax
Now that the weather is trending to a beautiful spot it is time to feel the grass under our toes again! You can do this workout as its own session after a warm up or conclude your long run with 2-3 of the rounds of it. I like doing this barefoot on occasion just to get back to good running form basics — the beach is a good spot to do some of these barefoot repeats too. Happy Running! #quehombretc #running #speedwork #track #barefootrunning #oregondrills #runjax
Speed Tuesday Parks…… I checked out my local park with a running track, and I thought about running it today. Then I thought, let’s run parks instead. A decision I did not regret two nice loops with cool down space in between it was built for speed training, with a bit of cooldown, between the parks. 6.7 miles later we have this run. The shoe help, but I think I’m getting faster. #runjax #runtherapy #runnersofinstagram #runtoinspire #runningmotivation #runpuma #beyourself #crushit #dohardthings #findyourpark #getoutside #havefun #liveitwell #pushyourlimits #staymotivated #speedtuesday #training #junkheadbands #myboausa #puma #pumarunning
Where to begin? On Friday morning I boarded a plane with sky-high expectations for what the @daybreakracing Gorge Waterfalls 50k had in store, and the weekend somehow blew them completely out of the water! Sunday turned out to be a picture-perfect day for us to make the point-to-point journey to Cascade Locks on a majestic route that was equal parts rocky and runnable, taking us past waterfalls tucked into the gorge walls with views of the river seemingly around every corner. One of the best parts about being mid-ish pack in these races is sharing time on course with great people - especially when “I’m from Florida, I don’t know how to run on these rocks” is an easy conversation starter. Did I have my absolute best day? Not really, thanks to a low-energy stretch from about mile 21-25 hiking up to the turnaround on the PCT. But I managed to rally a bit for the final hour of the day, coming home with a strong finish I can be proud of. And another highlight of the weekend was talking shop with the @runfreetrail crew at post-race happy hour, including a recap of how I faked out @dylanbo at the finish line with my Wy’East Howl hat that meant I “must be a local…” 😅 Needless to say, I’m already plotting my next West Coast adventure to add to my Daybreak glassware. Next year’s Tillamook Burn might be calling my name… 🤘 📸: @somerrunner (1, 4) @jamesholk (2,3) . #LFGorge #daybreakracing #gorgewaterfalls50k #runjax #1stplacesports #freetrail #freetrailer
Charging ⚡️ on some of that sunshine ☀️! Woke up tired. Stayed in bed too long. And that’s ok. I may skip the gym today… yesterday’s workout was a typical one but I ended up burning twice as many calories, so maybe I am fighting something? Looking forward to a productive day, rounded out by some big meetings.

I wasn’t running 26.2 miles in honor of the #bostonmarathon, but 6.2 seemed more than fair. I got that gorgeous sunrise, too, and was happy to sport blue and yellow 💙💛🦄!

Embracing the glorious morning! Even after a great race and walking around the @clayfair for hours, I was so ready to get back to it this morning. Amazing what a good night of sleep can do for the soul and motivation. This is going to be a big week! The Boston Marathon is tomorrow and I am excited to catch some of that action. Additionally, prom is this week and I can’t wait for the big night! Good luck to everyone racing tomorrow! 💙💛🦄💛💙 #running #streakingwiththecoolkids #RunJax #injuryRecovery #RunChat #Training #FitMom #RunnerMom #FitnessBlogger #RunnersOfInstagram #RunningBlogger #SRTT #FitAfter40 #WomensRunningCommunity #RunningCommunity #GoalDigger #HoneyStingerHive #TeamRoadID #LeagueOfgarmin #BeatYesterday #RunHappy #BDRAmbassador #goodrflamboyance #Aer2024 #aerteamblue #jaxrun

Break in #1 (Guess What These Shoes are Fast)…… So this is what “elite” shoes feel like. I got in some meaningful night miles in the new racers. I’ve already logged about two miles in the shoes before actually running them tonight. Shame the bridge got stuck I would have liked to run into Ortega but that’s what tomorrow is for🤞 #runjax #runtherapy #runnersofinstagram #runningmotivation #runtoinspire #runpuma #beyourself #getoutside #havefun #liveitwell #newshoes #pushyourself #staymotivated #training #moremiles #puma #pumarunning #uarunning
Went all in at a new race this morning: the #biscuits&bubbles5k, benefitting @haven.retreats. Great morning on a fast course. I managed to snag another (post-injury) PR by just a few seconds, which means I’m getting closer to my OG PR. Despite my forever race anxiety and self-doubt , something is working in my training, so I’ll keep at it. Celebrated with a chicken biscuit and mimosa 🥂! Now on to the rest of the weekend! Did you race today?

It’s Been A Fun 300….. I’d been building to this day for the last couple of weeks. Sadly today was my last run In my Puma Catz Eyes (aka Puma Liberate Nitro 2’s). The shoes I ran my first half marathon in. Honestly If it weren’t for the Mizuno’s I would have raced them a lot more. They were just a fun shoe to run in. It’s why I chose them for that first half marathon. They also looked pretty cool for that glow in the dark 5k. They have performed admirably but it’s time to lay them to rest. I would set up a funeral pyre for them, but I’m pretty sure my backyard isn’t zoned for Viking Funerals. I had to send them off with a solid 12 mile effort into San Marco even though I only needed 9 miles to hit 300. It was a little breezy but an excellent run all the same. I’m also less than three miles away from my distance goal with two days left in the week. Which means it’s break in new shoes time. Should be fun (these new shoes are showing some promise)🍻. #runjax #runtherapy #runnersofinstagram #runningmotivation #runtoinspire #runitout #beyourself #crushit #dohardthings #fastlikeacat #findyourpark #getoutside #havefun #keepgoing #liveitwell #pushyourself #staymotivated #trainingday #junkheadbands #myboausa #puma #pumarunning
Let the sun shine! After yesterday’s horrific weather, it was good to be able to outrun the sun. We saw some of the damage to our neighborhood and we were glad to see tarps@already on the roofs, debris collected for garbage, and signs of repair already in progress. That being said, I rate the whole tornado 🌪️ experience ZERO stars ⭐️ . Tomorrow morning, I will run the Bubbles and Buscuits 5k and I’m super excited for a new race on a different course than I usually run. Anyone else racing this weekend? Who else is ready for this week to be over? #running #streakingwiththecoolkids #RunJax #injuryRecovery #RunChat #Training #FitMom #RunnerMom #FitnessBlogger #RunnersOfInstagram #RunningBlogger #SRTT #FitAfter40 #WomensRunningCommunity #RunningCommunity #GoalDigger #HoneyStingerHive #TeamRoadID #LeagueOfgarmin #BeatYesterday #RunHappy #BDRAmbassador #goodrflamboyance #Aer2024 #aerteamblue #jaxrun
Humidity Training ….. I was over here thinking today was going to be a rest day. However the weather was kind enough to break for me and I managed to sneak an 8 mile run in before work. I decided to stick to the Riverside to Avondale route today but with the pace and timing it just worked out to a great speed day. Weather willing tomorrow is a stack the miles day. But either way I’m gonna have fun and a good run. 🍻 #runjax #runtherapy #runnersofinstagram #runningmotivation #runtoinspire #runitout #beyourself #findyourpark #getoutside #havefun #keepgoing #liveitwell #pushyourself #staymotivated #training #lululemonmen #puma #pumarunning
Today was a day. Instead of being sore on Wendnesay, I was sore today. Boo. I got through my cardio and gym time, and headed to run some errands. Not long into that, I got the alert that we were under a tornado warning and should take shelter. My husband called me to tell me not to come home. (The 🌪️ was in the area of our home, not where I was shopping). If you saw my stories, a huge twister touched down in my neighborhood and in the surrounding areas. There was some damage, but our house and street got lucky. Im so grateful and hope that those who did have damage have an easy time getting their windows and roofs repaired. Going to put this Thursday in the rear view as soon as I can! Do you get tornadoes? What’s your least favorite weather emergency? Mine are tornadoes and earthquakes! #streakingwiththecoolkids #running #RunJax #injuryRecovery #RunChat #Training #FitMom #RunnerMom #FitnessBlogger #RunnersOfInstagram #RunningBlogger #SRTT #FitAfter40 #WomensRunningCommunity #RunningCommunity #GoalDigger #HoneyStingerHive #TeamRoadID #LeagueOfgarmin #BeatYesterday #RunHappy #BDRAmbassador #goodrflamboyance #Aer2024 #aerteamblue #jaxrun
Good job this week! Hope to see you next week!

Non-Stop Heavy Training Pace……. After speed work yesterday it was time to put my soles to the pavement and see if I’ve learned anything. The jury may still be out on if I’ve learned anything but these 12 miles felt solid at my higher end training pace. Next up long recovery perhaps. Maybe I can set a new personal distance record. Keep stacking those miles. #runjax #runtherapy #runnersofinstagram #runningmotivation #runtoinspire #runner #runitout #beyourself #crushit #dohardthings #findyourself #getoutside #havefun #keepgoing #liveitwell #pushyourself #staymotivated #training #lululemonmen #puma #pumarunning #catspeed #sauconyrunning
I was super impressed by Crown's 10K last weekend. He finished second place overall and set a new PR at the Captain Chuck Cornett Navy Run 10K in Jacksonville, Florida. Keep up the good work, Crown! #knightonlions #10kPR #runningcoaching
Super excited for lots of fun things today! Started the day with a good run and now I’m off to see A and his band perform! Love these concert days! What are you up to today?

Sprints!!!!!!!!!!! Why do I need to train speed? Because it’s Tuesday and it’s fun. Also somehow I always run out of time on Tuesday so I end up resorting to speed work to get that run in. No complaints here. Today’s runs was another one where I could sort of see the benefits of my training. Additionally is there any training more fun than speed training?

Fave race moment ever. #runnersempire #runwithaimgroup #motherrunner #runflorida #runjax #racesmith #runningcommunity #femalerunner #c25k #runhappy #rundisney
Not too early, not too late. Not too hot, not too cold. Not too long, not too short. This morning’s run was juuuuust right. Excited for my 5k on Saturday, and hoping I can show up, even though I’ve been tired with lots of long days. #streakingwiththecoolkids #running #RunJax #injuryRecovery #RunChat #Training #FitMom #RunnerMom #FitnessBlogger #RunnersOfInstagram #RunningBlogger #SRTT #FitAfter40 #WomensRunningCommunity #RunningCommunity #GoalDigger #HoneyStingerHive #TeamRoadID #LeagueOfgarmin #BeatYesterday #RunHappy #BDRAmbassador #goodrflamboyance #Aer2024 #aerteamblue #jaxrun
#medalmonday The wine and chocolate 5K comes with a wine glass, not a medal. But it’s still a good race in San Marco. Best weather they ever had for it! @1stplacesports @distanceprojectruns #running #runjax
Amazing run this Monday morning. Everything l felt really great, even though I was pretty tired. The kids stayed home from school today (excused absence), so we are watching some eclipse coverage and prepping for their concert this week. It’s a good day. How are you spending your Monday? #running #streakingwiththecoolkids #RunJax #injuryRecovery #RunChat #Training #FitMom #RunnerMom #FitnessBlogger #RunnersOfInstagram #RunningBlogger #SRTT #FitAfter40 #WomensRunningCommunity #RunningCommunity #GoalDigger #HoneyStingerHive #TeamRoadID #LeagueOfgarmin #BeatYesterday #RunHappy #BDRAmbassador #goodrflamboyance #Aer2024 #aerteamblue #jaxrun
Kicking The Week Off Right With Bridges…… Run bridges it’ll be fun they say. Consequentially, it actually is quite fun. I would have preferred a few less stops. But these are the things that happen when you run across a busy RxR crossing and a drawbridge. Three bridges nice scenery and a solid back half sprint. Next up #speedtuesday but which shoes to wear? #runjax #runtherapy #runnersofinstagram #runtoinspire #runningmotivation #runitout #runhappy #beyourself #dohardthings #getoutside #havefun #keepgoing #liveitwell #pushyourself #staymotivated #training #brooksrunning #meundies #puma #pumarunning
This is probably one of my favorite progress photos yet! Had an amazing time running the San Marco Wine and Chocolate run with my bestie on Saturday. The last time we did this was 2 years ago, and on Saturday we beat our time by 6:55! We are both at a place in our health and fitness that we are happy and proud of, and I'm pretty sure we're reverse aging because damn we look good compared to 2 years ago (scroll for old pic!)...I'm so proud of my friend Em, because she has been killing it all while raising two sweet little girls and working 🤯 . I haven't totally lost my cravings for sweets, as can be seen in pic #3 when I realized we were getting chocolate covered popcorn (which I do not like) instead of chocolate covered Oreos this year 🤣🤣🤣 thank you to the photographer for capturing my reaction #running #runnergirl #runner #runjax #jacksonville #jacksonvilleflorida #floridaadventures #florida #floridalife #fitness #fitnessmotivation #fitnessaccountability #fitlife #healthylifestyle #healthyhabits #fitnesscanbefun #yougotthis
Wine and Chocolate Run 5k: AG: 3 of 69 OVR: 26 of 1871 Time: 19:29 (😹PR😂) Pace: 6:16 I finally got to race in San Marco yesterday and what a race it was. Wasn’t expecting an Age Group award especially in a Jack Grand Prix race. I was just hoping to finish sub 20 minutes. Which I did with some time to spare. That’s another PR for the #mizuno racers. In what may be their last race depending on shipping times, but we’ll address that on another day. Happy to see these training shenanigans are paying off. #runjax #runtherapy #runnersofinstagram #runningmotivation #runtoinspire #beyourself #dohardthings #havefun #keepgoing #liveitwell #pushyourlimits #raceday #staymotivated #training #junkheadbands #mizuno #mizunorunning #uarunning
Congrats to Red Cup runner @emilyamparan for crushing the Cherry Blossom 10 miler in DC and to @stacysa13 for being a great athletic supporter! 🥤🌸
Don’t peak in high school, they say. 🏃🏼♀️👟 5:59 min/miles! Cannot believe I am actually writing that I ran any race more than a mile in under 6 min/miles. Crushed my official 5k PR (19:22 from 2 weeks ago) and my @stantoncollegeprep 5k PR (19:38) at the Wine & Chocolate Run last night. I may always hate 5ks because they feel like an anaerobic sprint as a distance runner with asthma, but I love running on the @1stplacesports elite team and having women like Michelle and Amelia pushing me!!! Kudos to Sem, Jakob, and everyone else on the team who crushed it last night (plz tag others if you see them on here as I don’t know that many handles!) #runjax #1stplacesports #running #fitfam #runners #endorphinated #girlswhorun #wineandchocolaterun #mysanmarco #904happyhour #supportlocaljax #5k #pr @904happyhour @peterbrookechocolatier
