10 miles down today, and boy, was it hot. Started after 9 a.m., so it was already 73° when I started and 83° when I finished. I got to see a turtle and eagle on my run and sweat a ton. I did some speed sessions, but towards the end, I was just hot, and I could feel the sunscreen not doing its job anymore. #latina #igrunners #florida #aer2024 #tallgirlsofinstagram #fitness #veteran #runningcommunity #fitnessmotivation #runnersofinstagram #motivation #garmin #motherrunner #instagood #military #smallbusinessowner #gymmotivation #womansrunningcommunity #runnersbelike #Teamnuun2024 #nuunambassador #womanveteran #runnersworld #inspire #orlando #strong #aerteamorange #strava
A little Ultramarathon Club initiation complete over the weekend on the Peacock Loop. 29.29 miles, 6550 ft ⬆️ and now I feel pretty confident going into my first 50k in a couple weeks. I’m proud of myself for getting that done when I wasn’t feeling it. Couldn’t have done it without @aelizabeth2525 & @emoneeeey 😘 #ultramarathoner #ultras #ultraclub #trailrunning #trailrun #hitthetrail #vertanddirt #trailrunner #vert #hilife #luckywelivehawaii #runhawaii #hawaiitrailrun #hawaiiliving #hawaiifitness #running #run #runner #ultratraining #momswhorun #motherrunner #womenrunning #runnerscommunity #fitnessmotivation #sweatyselfie #runlikeagirl #optoutside #outsideisthebestside #outdoorenthusiast
Just call me Sneezy because my allergies came back in full force over the weekend. 🤧 I took yesterday as a rest day but couldn’t resist getting a run in today. So, I popped a Claritin, put on some fun @procompression socks and went for an easy 75 minute run.

No Medal Monday, but two 5K PRs! ✨ Noon race start time, hilly course, windy day with gusts over 25mph, 95% humidity, and tummy troubles. Loads of excuses for a bad race, but to you give in or show out? I was a spectator this weekend and ran to various points on the course to watch and cheer on the kiddos. Each time I saw them they were struggling, they were pale, and they were fighting to the finish! I was so proud of their effort! At the finish line both kiddos were so disappointed because they felt so horrible and couldn’t shake the feeling for race day. I assured them that race day will always be a surprise day. No matter how trained or ready you are sometimes you just won’t feel right on race day. Add in the elements, and the day can feel like a disaster. That wasn’t entirely the case though. They didn’t feel their best, but they pushed and put it all out there! Trenton is chipping away at his 5k time with each race. He took 15th overall and 4th in his age group with a time of 19:53 Judy ran a 1 minute 30 second PR, 112th overall 6th in her age group, and a 27:31 time. The race didn’t have finisher medals (which is fine), but it was very disorganized, volunteers and locals were rude AF, and the shirts are pretty pathetic. 🤷🏻♀️ Oh well, learn and don’t return! 🖤 🐺🏃🏻♀️🖤 . . #instarun #fitnessmotivation #runningmotivation #runnersworld #motherrunner #instarunners #runnerscommunity #instagood #runnersofinstagram #marathoner #fitnessjourney #dailymotivation #mondaymotivation #medalmonday #trusttheprocess #moveforward #inspiredbythejourney #strollerrun #kidswhorun #longrun #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #youcandoit #mindset #mindsetmatters #texasrunners #runtexas #runtexastrails #texasrunner

Monday thoughts… . I’ve looked back so times to what if I didn’t run Mesa? When I had plantar fasciitis I felt like I had to wait on the fitness and missed the opportunity to race. I was too worried about comparing myself to my old training paces. Unfortunately I never made it to a starting line which explains why I didn’t run a marathon for 3 years…injuries & self doubt. This time I took a chance on myself running Mesa and didn’t worry about where I used to be. Seriously if I hadn’t taken a chance on myself, I would not have run a marathon or have a BQ. #tornmeniscus . Eugene was this weekend and I had my eye on it back in the fall. I thought I could build more fitness if I had more time or complete a traditional training cycle. I’m so glad that I didn’t wait until this race. Sometimes we have to dig a little deeper and believe to give ourselves a chance. . I start PRP for my knee on Friday! Ready to get this going. It makes it a little easier going forward knowing I came back this last time & what I have to look forward to. . . . #runningmotivation #mondaymotivation #comebacksarehard #bq #runhard #riskheartbreak #injuredrunner #running #mastersrunner #marathonrunner #motherrunner #floridarunner #honeystingerhive #nuunlove
As we close out April, which is Parkinson’s awareness month, I would love to share with you that I have already raised over 25% of my goal for running the @falmouthroadrace on team @parkinsondotorg {Parkinson’s Champions} A big thank you to all of you that have taken a moment to donate. If you would like to donate, the link is in my bio. I’m running for my Mom, in hopes that a cure and future treatments will come from the Parkinson’s Foundation. I’m running to feel like I am doing something to help make a difference, because too often in these types of situations, you feel like you can’t. “The Parkinson’s Foundation makes life better for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) by improving care and advancing research toward a cure. In everything we do, we build on the energy, experience and passion of our global Parkinson’s community.”

📣 Caminar durante un entrenamiento está BIEN sin importar los motivos. ¿QUIÉN DEBE CORRER/CAMINAR? Cualquiera, en serio CUALQUIER CORREDORA. 1️⃣Las corredoras nuevas o que retoman podrán aumentar su resistencia utilizando intervalos. 2️⃣Las corredoras veteranas se beneficiarán en los días de recuperación al dejar de lado los pensamientos estrictos sobre la carrera y escuchar a su cuerpo. 3️⃣Corredoras que luchan con una frecuencia cardíaca alta o entrenan en condiciones de mucho calor/humedad. Las pausas para caminar ayudan a que tu cuerpo no trabaje demasiado, lo que significa una mejor recuperación y carreras más agradables. 🙋♀️Lo usé la semana pasada porque mi cerebro y mi cuerpo estaban cansados, pero mentalmente quería correr. ¿Lo has usado alguna vez? 👉Si quieres comenzar a correr, quieres retomar el running o estás buscando correr alguna carrera específica y necesitas ayuda, escribe la palabra "LO QUIERO" y me pondré en contacto para ayudarte a conseguir ese objetivo que tanto quieres en el running. #walkrunmethod #igrunner #instarunner #runnersofig #instarunner #marathontraining #halfmarathontraining #runcoach #runningcommunity #womensrunningcommunity #newrunner #runwalk #runwalkrun #runwalker #slowrunner #beginnerrrunner #couchto5k #runnergirl #womensrunningcommunity #runfast #runslow #slowrunner #easyrun #happyrunner #runnergirl #runnergirls #runlikeagirl #motherrunner #runspiration #runningmotivation #marathonrunner #halfmarathonrunner #runrunrun
When I first got back into running I had a 2 mile run, my first mile was 10:35 and my second mile was over 11:00. Today, I ran 3 miles and averaged under a 10:00/mile. But, most importantly I feel so healthy and strong and so so proud of myself. #run #runner #motherrunner #running #runningcommunity #runninggirl
I've been putting off a race recap from Hyner for so many reasons- the first of all because I realized during the 2nd mile of the race something was seriously "off" with me 😳. My race, which I wanted to go at "party pace", was certainly that- without the party. I felt awful the whole time, not one step felt good, strong, or okay. I was struggling to breathe just chalked it up to my asthma. I actually questioned myself if I could finish a race. I did and the post race feels were everything but I knew something wasn't ok and I also knew I never wanted to feel like that on the trails again. I went and got bloodwork completed after Hyner and found (at least the beginning of) answers to my current situation- the irony of why my legs amd body have been feeling like lead is because I'm severely anemic. I'm so happy to now know this and it's a fixable situation. So, time to heal, train, and get ready for the next race. -E- 📸 photos creds for 2-5 thank you @Jennifer Kamienski 📸 #ourultraegos #hyner50k #anemia #motherrunner #runpa #raceseason #aprilmiles #trailrunning #ultrarunner
It’s #medalmonday 🤘🏼👏🏼🎸🔥 This was a tough race mentally. Here’s a few things I learned from running a hilly, humid & warm course. 🎸 Biker shorts always. 🎸Test out carb loading before race week if you’ve never done it before. 🎸 Next time I won’t try and cram everything in my shorts. 🎸 It’s okay to run the race at an easy pace and enjoy the crowd + take it all in. It doesn’t always have to be so serious. 🎸Take pictures and videos after even if you feel like shit. 🤘🏼To anyone wanting to run this race in the future I’ll say this- I was disappointed there weren’t more porta potties on the course. 🤘🏼This was a VERY crowded race, I was meandering around people the whole time. Be prepared to speed up and slow down. It took me 30 minutes after start time to cross the start line. 🤘🏼 Bring your own hydration because the water stations looked crowded. 🤘🏼 The finish line is a far walk from the start. And to cross the bridge to get back to the start (if you parked on that side) you have to walk up four flights of stairs to cross the pedestrian bridge over the river 🫠 this felt absolutely CRUEL! 😂
Friendly reminder: Race day is only a small part of the journey ✨ This weekend I got in a mental funk playing the comparison game while tracking Ironman Texas! So many athletes putting their heart out there . But that doesn’t take away from how incredibly proud and blown away of the progress I’ve made in the last 18 months, but I couldn’t help but wish I saw this speed coming in my 20’s, before kids, was further along, you name it . But race day is only a snippet of why we work so hard and some days it’s an incredible testament to hard work, sometimes it’s not . So with my rambling honest confession I’m back to one day at a time and seeing where this road takes me! . #triathlontraining #fitmom #ironmantraining #ironman703training #teamtrespinas #womenfortri #motherrunner #mondaymotivation #fitnessmotivation @trespinas

Well this was an interesting run! 🥴 Today’s 30 minute easy run turned into a half outdoor half indoor run at the gym. The forecast called for 35% chance of rain and it wasn’t doing much more than a sprinkle all morning. And running in sprinkles doesn’t bother me. So I opted to run the outdoor path at the Y. I even checked the overhead clouds. They were dark, but didn’t seem to be moving very fast. ☁️ I. Was. Wrong. About a mile in, it started raining, then turned into an absolute downpour. And it didn’t look to be letting up in the next 5 minutes. 😫 Luckily I was at the Y, so I stayed on the path and went as fast as I could in a downpour to the entrance. I paused my Garmin, wiped off my face, dried my feet, and continued the run on the indoor track. Not an ideal run by any means, but a run completed is better than none! 🤷♀️ . . . #rainyrun #caughtintherain #outdoortoindoor #pivot #motherrunner #notallrunsarepretty
Only just read the race briefing.. 😲 I'm telling myself it's a typo, but it says 52 miles.. 52..That's 2 more than 50.. 4% more running (or crawling) and 4% more pain. I'm Laughing right now sat in the comfort of my home. I may not be chuckling on Saturday! Let's hope I don't get lost and add extra miles again like I did on my last ultra 🤦🏼♀️ they really should make us take a test before letting us enter. . . . #raceweek #running #ultratraining #ultra #runninggirl #runner #runnerscommunity #unbreakable #unstoppable #MotherRunner #whoruntheworld #whatwouldgogginsdo #fitover40 #ultramarathon #ultrarunning #peninebarrierultra #beautifulbritain #trail #trailrunning #penineway #yorkshire

April Box Reveal! 😍 This box was so much fun to put together this month! Every piece has been tried, tested and approved by women runners! Here's a recap: 👟 "I run to burn off the crazy" ceramic mug... A conversation piece in the kitchen or at the office is always a hit! Show off your passion for running. 👟 Shoe-pourri shoe odor spray and refresher.... Running can be a stinky sport, keep your feet and shoes fresh at all times. 👟 Be Kind knit beanie... April showers bring May flowers! It may be warm in the afternoon, but chilly early am runs deserve a knit beanie that will not only keep your head warm but makes a kindness statement that any runner will appreciate. 👟 To-go refresher wipes... No time for a shower? Simply toss these antiperspirant and personal wipes in your bag for a quick refresh after your run. 👟 After run to-do notepad…. This cute little notepad is irresistible, making it a must-have addition to any runners, kitchen, office or desk!
I hit the gym as soon as I dropped the kids off at school this morning. The rain and wind were relentless over the weekend, and today we have scattered thunderstorms, so I opted for another day of sweaty cardio indoors. I’m on target to hit 25,000 miles by the end of the week… ⏱️ 45:00 Strength Training ⏱️ 60:00 Elliptical: Tempo Run (8.3 mph, 7:16 min/mi, 8.26 miles) ⏱️ 60:00 Treadmill: Progression Run (9:27 min/mi, 6.35 miles) Total: 14.61 miles Progress > Perfection 🔒 #run #runner #running #runningcommunity #runninginspiration #runningmotivation #runningismytherapy #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #keeprunning #motherrunner #marathonrunning #marathontraining #ultrarunning #ultratraining #strengthtraining #consistency #determination #discipline #endurance #mentalhealth #mindset #perspective #movementismedicine #goals #gratitude #earneverymile #beatyesterday #leagueofgarmin #findyourbalance
2nd half of the year. I forgot that I had signed up for this. I don’t like tempo’s and these halves have become a way to keep myself committed to running tempos every now and then. It’s easy to take it for granted the endless options the running community offers in our area. Outside of NY metro area, it’s rare to find mid distance races, let alone many in a year. This half is twice around the perimeter of the #centralpark and has only 2x #harlemhill vs 3x at the #fredlebowhalf (which is what I tell myself when I think about running the Harlem Hill twice. It was extra special to run with 8,000+ ladies, some seasoned, some first-timers. Each day I glide past my mid-life, I am reminded of the great fortune of an active life. Have you tried running yet? Many times I dragged to get to the start line. Not once have I regretted crossing the finish. Sometimes when it gets tough, I smile and draw a deep breath against the adversity. Sometimes I look down or look away to forget the incline ahead of me. Every time I get excited to see my teammates and friends on the course, taking time and offering themselves to root for me and other strangers. @dkdg7777 @qiao40425 @pureink99 thank you for the finish push. @favoritebrunette your cheer flattened the #harlemhill @mistymountainrunners @asiantrailmix @bergenrunners It was so fun to see you. If you live in the metro area and you haven’t tried running, you are missing out on this amazing community and experience. @nyrr @t8.usa got another compliment on my racing shorts #t8sherpashorts #motherrunner #womenruntheworld 📸 @samantha.wu.50 @jerryyixiao @guo.liyi Weihong Sun @drookoo Xiao Yang

Hello, Monday!! Just a few easy miles to start the day. It’s getting hot and humid, so I’m thankful for a cool, breezy morning. Ready to take on a new week!
I'll show you mine if you show me yours! Medals that is 😀 Happy medal Monday! Rest day for this gal. MAYBE yoga tonight to help with quads as they feel like I ran a full and not a half yesterday. My one BIG take away from yesterday's run, I must do what I dislike the most and run hills. That second lap of central park always gets me. I know and yet I don't prep properly because driving to the hilly side of the island takes a lot more effort and time then just leaving my house. Other than that, I'm very proud of this medal. Another 13.1 in the books with 3 more to go this year! . . . . . . . #womenruntheworld #medalmonday #halfmarathon #halfmarathontraining #halfmarathoner #13point1 #goodr #runhappy #motherrunner #momswhorun #marathoner #garminfitness #runnerscommunity #runnersofinstagram #runmotivation #womensrunningcommunity #inspiringwomenrunners #runforlife #runtherapy #runstrong
One year ago today, I was peddling on my bike absolutely devastated because I couldn’t run…. Dealing with excruciating pain in my right leg and waiting for my insurance to approve my an MRI. I can remember being so upset because I was only a few weeks away from marathon #2 not realizing it was going to be a very long road ahead. Now here I am a full year later soaking up the sun banging out an easy paced 3 miles feeling freaking grateful. 🔥Grateful to be moving my body. 🔥Grateful to be chasing new goals. 🔥And grateful the person I was one year ago didn’t give up. I mean, it would’ve been so easy to sit in self pity & let myself go. Allow myself to eat my feelings and say things like, “I’ll get back at it when I’m recovered”, but I didn’t. Instead I focused on the things I could control like my Macros Made Simple Plan. It was great because I was able to readjust it to fit my goals which at the time was low impact workouts 🩼. This allowed my the flexibility to still eat the foods I love and fuel my body properly without gaining excess weight. And now with my miles ramping up 🏃🏽♀️and lifting more💪, I’m still using the SAME nutrition plan. The only difference is it’s accommodating for my NEW TRAINING SCHEDULE and ensuring I’m having plenty of food to give my body exactly what it needs. If you’re looking for a simple nutrition plan you can use to help you achieve your goals without having to give up foods you love, my MMSP is the way to go.

Throwback to some awesome shots from RUFA captured by @grateful_fish_head that really catch me in my power! Soooooooo I made a trail resume? Done a lot in the last 16 months. More than 20 ultras, in fact. Not fully elite caliber in terms of speed, but if elite volume is a thing, I think I’ve got it going on. Going into pride moth, racing season, and culminating both with the Bigfoot 200, I want my platform to be meaningful. I’m gay. I’m an educator. I’m a coach. A mom. If anyone knows organizations I should reach out to, please give me a nod! #trailrunner #trailrunning #ultrarunner #ultrarunning #ultramarathon #motherrunner #queerrunner

Finally, a run again. I couldn't make it out last week, first because of the flu and later because I was all by myself with the kids. Usually, I would try to get a sitter so I could go for a long run. But, since I still wasn't feeling very fit, I was okay not to run. I'll catch up this week, with today an 8k 💪 Have a great start of the week 😘 . . . . . . . . #training #runner #marathon #runnerscommunity #runningmotivation #instagood #runtoinspire #instarun #runninggirl #running #run #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #runforfun #laufen #hardlopen #Moveyourmind #motherrunner #marathoner #happyrunner #keepgoing #runnerslife #goals #nevergiveup

26.2 🏅 My first marathon is in the books! I’m not sure where to begin describing this race experience! I’m a bundle of mixed emotions - proud that I crossed the finish line yet disappointed and embarrassed that I fell short of my time goal and in my execution of the race. Yet, I’m thrilled to have even run this distance at all! Heck, this time last year I wasn’t even back to running postpartum. I can give you a list of why things didn’t go my way on race day (WIND, pacing, humidity, HR, hills 🤪) but ultimately I have decided to take it for what it is and learn from the mistakes *I* made in my training and on race day - cause there were many. By mile 10, I decided I just needed to have fun and slowed significantly down. It was fun for about 4 more miles, but I can assure that I most certainly did NOT have fun for the majority of the rest of the race. But hey, I crossed the finish line. 😂 Will I do it again? Someday! But for now, I’d like to focus on shorter distances, strength, and speed! Here’s to an overall incredible experience with the best training group and support team you can imagine! 🥂 And shout out to @gostlouis for the AWESOME race day and post race party they put on! It was a great atmosphere and I couldn’t have asked for better for my first marathon!

Happy #medalmonday y’all. If you think I am not wearing my medal in my home office, you don’t know me. Each half marathon has been unique and special in its own way. Time will tell, but I expect this to hold a special place in my heart. There is so much to love about this effort. I don’t feel to shabby physically a day later. I will enjoy this break, but also be happy to keep chopping wood and carrying water. #motherrunner #blackgirlsrun #runningcommunity #runningmotivation
Rise and run!!! Starting this week off right with 5.5 miles!! Thanks to @mbo522 for making the miles fly! Apparently I wasn’t awake enough to start/stop my watch properly sooo missed some @garmin mileage.

Happy Monday! ☀️ Definitely didn’t want the weekend to end, but here we are 😅 This morning’s wildlife included 12 deer 🦌 and one skunk 🦨 Bear wanted to play with the spicy cat but thankfully it kept its distance 😂 #running #morningrun #runningwithdogs #mondayrunday #motherrunner #labsofinstagram #chocolatelab #myrunningpartnerhasfourlegs
Isn’t she a beauty 🤩 We had such an awesome @crailsrunning adventure in Brooklyn this past weekend! Lots of laugh and good food. Had a darn good race yesterday with my CRC women crew and can’t wait for the next adventure weekend! #medalmonday #brooklynhalfmarathon #crailsrunning #crailsrunningambassador #motherrunner #igrunners #runner

Love me a good 14 mile dance party - despite the dead fish sticking out of the asphalt and the snake slithering across 😆 8 weeks until @grandmasmarathon 🏃🏻♀️ : Tried a running belt yesterday. Not my cup of tea. I don’t like the jiggle - so if you have any recommendations on how to wear one without the bounce, lemme know! I did like having both hands free to get out gels and electrolytes, but until it’s more secure, I’m out. #marathontraining #motherrunner #teamFAFO #coachedbycpbb #gritandgrace
2 miles to start the week right! 10-miler on Wednesday and lots on my mind, but most importantly thinking about what to eat after my run 😅 decisions decisions . . . #msrunner #msrunning #thisisms #multiplesclerosis #msawareness #mswarrior #msstrong #ms #runninginspiration #runningmotivation #slowrunner #longdistancerunner #motherrunner #runnersofinsta #marathonrunner #runrunrun #instarunner #positivevibes
This might be controversial, but if you leak a bit when you run and you’re comfortable running through it, we don’t have to stop running completely. In the ortho world, we don’t stop someone from training as soon as they have a little bit of pain (in most cases), so why do we recommend this with postpartum athletes? It’s about threshold tolerance. This doesn’t mean we ignore the symptoms and just power through, but we can keep training while we work on pelvic floor. #postpartumrunner #motherrunner #returntorunning
☀️ It’s Monday sun day. ☀️ Soaked up those rays along the lake this morning. I didn’t focus on time or speed-just like the water, I reflected… on all the things I’m thankful for & where I need to do & be better. ❣️ #runningstreak #mondayrunday #mondaysunday☀️ #anothermotherrunner #runstreak #trainingforlife #motherrunner #runthemiles #noxgear #runninginthedark👀 #lifeisshortwearlongsocks #getupandrun #runningmotivation #runhappy #runningismytherapy #runnerslifestyle #sunrisechaser #runsforfuns #runnersofinstagram #fitover40

Taper Week! 🎉 I have made it. I am happy the race @ocmarathon is almost here, I am sad this training cycle is over. I am excited to have an easy week, I worked hard this session. My legs are sore from yesterday's hot 10K, last long run! Last week I ran 3 times, cycled, rowed, arm and leg strength training. My muscles need some rest before the big day. * * There is still time to sign up to the Full, Half or 5K, they are 90% full and registration ends soon.

#medalmonday It’s been a while since I’ve been able to participate in Medal Monday and sit tight friends I’ve got some words to share 😁 Last year I had set some pretty big goals for myself and thought they were realistic and attainable. 2 hour half marathon…got an upper respiratory infection leading up to and just wasn’t up for pushing myself. 4:30 Full Marathon…Twin Cities got cancelled and then MCM was a disaster but I got a cool bucket 😉🙈 It just wasn’t my year, so coming into 2024 I had zero, zip, nada goals because quite frankly I wasn’t about to fail again this year. I decided to shift my thought process and focus on enjoying running again. Marathon Weekend went really well, but I didn’t want to get my hopes up. There was a lot of sickness in our house from Mid-January until end of March so my training wasn’t super awesome and going into April I wasn’t sure what this weekend would look like after vacation. I set out Saturday to just run my race whatever it may be… 9-9:15 min/miles felt good even comfortable but I kept getting in my head. Could I hold that for 13.1 miles? Is this actually sustainable? I went by feel and kept what felt good; miles kept going by and before I knew it I was at mile 9 and still going strong. I knew I’d be cutting it close to 2 hours so at mile 10 I started to push myself more. There was a decent hill at 12 so my pace suffered a little but once I got past that I gunned it. I gave it my all! Official time 2:00:55 and I’ll freaking take it!!!! And while it’s not a PR…it’s the fastest I’ve ran post E!! Next up MedCity Marathon (as a training run), then racing Grandma’s!!!!! #run #running #runner #rundisney #disneyrunner #twincitiesinmotion #getingear #halfmarathon #grandmasmarathon #marathontraining #runninggoals #runcoach #motherrunner #thismomruns #thisis40 #minnesota

Today marks 10 weeks post-op from skin removal and muscle repair surgery. I haven’t been able to return to normal activity as planned because of an ongoing foot issue. But on days when the pain isn’t terrible you better believe I’m out there trying to run again. Today I went for a short trail run, without compression on my stomach for the 1st time. I’m still supposed to wear it for another two weeks, but I’m trying to take it off here and there and allow my body to adjust to not having it on. My abs need to support themselves again, and my lymphatic system needs to learn to regulate the amount of swelling without help. Of course I took it easy, and I would’ve stopped if something felt bad. I’m sure my foot is about to swell up now, but the weather was perfect and it was so worth it! #stilliruncommunity #stillirunambassador2024 #mindovermiles #forwardisapace #mileschangeyou #mentalhealthmatters #runningmotivation #clemetroparks #motherrunner #weightlossjourney #fitnessjourney

Best bling ever!!! First marathon ✅ Still can't believe I actually did it. . . #trailrunning #sheffieldrunner #marathonrunner #motherrunner #milesformind #medalmonday
It doesn't feel like it was that long ago that I was running wearing my light as it was still dark in the morning. It's quite a novelty to now be applying SPF before I head out! I increased my distance a bit today and it felt pretty good. I wasn't pushing for any sort of time as I just wanted to be able to do 5 miles. The weather definitely makes things easier, I love running when it's sunny ☀️.
Second fastest and most challenging half marathon yesterday. I didn’t have a set goal for the race so decided to start with the 1:55 pacer and see what happens. I stayed with the group for the first 6 miles and then we approached the first trail section. I knew there would be some small gravel but the trail was no friend to my race day shoes. I changed my footing as I nearly twisted my ankle a couple times throughout the off and on trail miles and rolling hills. Then the heat made its appearance- and all I wanted to do was finish. The final 300m was on a track so I pushed to the finish with my second fastest half marathon 😮💨 #halfmarathon #medalmonday #racerecap #sundayrunday
Warm up, 6x1min sprint w/2min recovery, cool down The sprints felt so strong because I am strong and @susie_chan_ is a great cheerleader. Last week of the semester woohoo.
