At long last! 😍🚴🙌 Finally, a warm afternoon with biking-friendly conditions. Oh, did it feel good to be reunited with my dear Krystal 🚴on the Chichaqua Valley Trail! (As you were 😂) #optoutside #runnerswhobike #bikeiowa #chichaquavalleytrail #bikingconkrystal #pedalpower #backinthesaddle #blissfulpersistence #onward
Busy days = early mornings Yes, that called for a 4:40AM start to my Friday 🤩 …but we got in 12 miles of biking, core & upper-body strength knocked-out before the sunrise 🙌 How early did your day start? 😍 #upandatit #runnerswhobike #strengthtraining #pelotonstrength #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #earlymorningfitness #onward
First we ride (inside ☔️), then we lift 🏋️♀️ Always a fun, albeit early 🤣, morning with @debrunsfit That’s my Thursday gig, how about you? #fitnessfriends #thankfulthursday #runnerswhobike #strength #notjustarunner #blissfulpersistence #onward
Second ride after 4 years away and I learned what I missed the most about cycling: eating bugs while trying to breathe. 🦟 Just kidding, of course—I realized I missed how nice it was just to be outside on the bike zooming around and hoping I wouldn’t have to stop and unclip because I would probably crash. I did not miss thinking I would crash all the time tho 😆 I did this bike after work, and I was motivated to do so for once by the fact that I have gained a ton of weight this year stress-eating. Time to make some changes or nothing will change, right? Head workout supervisor 😼 has some thoughts about that right now: “omg her workouts are bad and her stupid memes are even worse 0/10”
Are we ready to embrace another Thankful Thursday? I’m thankful for what fitness has brought into my life. It’s given me strength & stamina. It’s increased my cardio capabilities and my endurance. And it’s brought so many wonderful fitness-minded peeps into my life 🏋️♀️😍🚴 In keeping with routine, @debrunsfit and I met virtually for our weekly cardio hour of power. She walked & I (indoor) biked & did some upper-body strength work. Any guesses on which of us had the real full moon for our selfies…and which had a street light posing as it? 😂 #fitnessfriends #thankfulthursday #runnerswhobike #runnerswholift #crosstraining #strengthtraining #blissfulpersistence #alliswell #earlymorningfitness #fitafter50 #onward
Felt great to get the legs moving again and on the bike for an easy 50ish minutes. Feeling good after race day and looking forward to getting back at it for the next one. #wafflewednesday #honeystingerhive @HoneyStinger #runchat #runner #ultrarunning #ultrarunnersofinstagram #ultratraining #wednesdaywisdom #wednesdaymotivation #runnerswhobike
About last night… ***There was the Grand Blue Mile in downtown Des Moines (and I may have snagged a 3rd place AG finish (7:50 pace) 🏅 ***later, there was my first full moon run in my new locale (my shortest moon run ever, because my legs & lungs were trashed 😂) …and about this morning… 10 miles on the bike, to flush-out the tired legs 🚴 What can I say? I love my fitness fixes 😍 That’s my Wednesday fitness installment, care to share what’s happening in your world? #grandbluemile #onefastmile #fullmoonrun #runnerswhobike #neveradullmoment #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50
It’s been a very #ThankfulThursday thus far 🚴🏋️♀️❤️ There was lively chatter with @debrunsfit (you know, we got that weekly power hour of early Thursday morning cardio fun), 20 miles in the saddle (outdoor selfie in the rain 😂☔️), and some serious sumo dead lifting (probable DOMS are on the horizon). Yeah 🙌 Are you getting things done on your Thursday morning? Indoors? Outdoors? In the rain? #thursdaymorning #fitnessfriends #runnerswhobike #backonthebike #fastedcardio #sumosquats #rainselfie #selfieintherain #blissfulpersistence #onward
Rising & riding? Trust me, it’s a good thing 🚴 The weather outside is a bit frightful (💨☔️🌧️) so opting inside was necessary. But cardio is cardio, and the bike is a great low-impact option on an active recovery kind of day. All is well! Any other fans of active recovery vs. total rest (or. no recovery 😅)? ***stop back over lunch for a new Talk To Me Reel 🚀 *** #activerecovery #spinningandgrinning #runnerswhobike #tlctuesday #fitafter50 #blissfulpersistence #fastedcardio #justkeepsmiling
First outdoor bike ride in 4 years: humbling 🫤 Just wanted to get outside on this gorgeous day but not irritate my injury…well, the biking didn’t irritate it at all but boy oh boy am I more out of shape than I thought. Gonna have to do more outdoor cycling to build and maintain my fitness since running big miles isn’t an option right now. Still had a good time getting outside tho. Head workout supervisor 😼 has some thoughts now: “there she goes thinking we care again 0/10” #injuredrunner #runnerswhobike
What started outside, ended inside 😂 Thankful for the weekly early-morning cardio hour with @debrunsfit , but after two miles of walking in the wind, I opted for the inside bike (10 miles). Call me crazy (but warm). But kudos to us, though, for dressing alike without prior planning ✅💗💚 (it’s the little things) Have you ever white-flagged the weather, and headed back inside? #stopthewind #blownaway #fitnessfriends #morningwalk #runnerswhobike #runnerswhoride #blissfulpersistence #optoutside #ridinginside #fitafter50 #fitblogger #onward
Double your workout time pleasure. Started day off with a @GoZwift ride and knocked out a 10-mile run before the rain came through. 57 total running miles this week and another 30Ish cycling. Keep showing up. #runchat #ultratraining #keepshowingup #believe #ultrarunning #runnersofinstagram #runnerswhobike #running #ultrarunninglife #ultrarunnersofinstagram
Back to life, back to reality 😍 Same routine with @debrunsfit but with a new locale for myself. She walked outside & I cycled inside (but we both selfied outdoors 📸😂🙌). It sure feels good to get back to doing routine things, wouldn’t you agree? #fitnessfriends #earlymorningworkout #runnerswhobike #outdoorselfie #fitafter50 #fastedcardio #blissfulpersistence #onward
Proof positive I don’t need a posh setting for a solid cardio fix …and neither do you 🙌Just get it done 😍 Just sone biking for now, but I’m hoping Momma N shows the psychotic wind some grace after work. I’d love to log a few miles outdoors without fear of taking flight 🤣 Is it windy where you are? We’re talking 21mph wind here… #wednesdayride #notjustarunner #runnerswhobike #blissfulpersistence #keepsmiling #getrdone #onward

With all the bike, run, and swim content I put on here, it’s understandable if folks are asking “what are you training for… a triathlon?” I started off 2023 with a sprint triathlon (my first one ever), but then I switched gears and did a 1 mile road race and then did a 1500m and a 3k steeplechase on the track this summer. Now I’m training for another running race, but I’m still using all 3 disciples to prepare. It’s unusual, for sure, but it’s been an interesting experiment for me to use these other sports as non-impact ways to get fit. If you’re an injury-prone athlete, 🚴🏼♀️ and 🏊🏻♀️ might be good tools for you too! And who knows… maybe I’ll just have to do another triathlon before the year is up! 🙃 #crosstraining #runnerlife #swimbikerun #triathlete #runnerswhobike

Multitasking Monday … Spinning out 10 miles while rallying all the brackets for the office NCAA pool. Guess who is in 2nd place ? 😍🏀🙌 Have you ever tried doing “office work” while on a bike? I’m glad I was only counting & writing down numbers 😂 #multitasking #morningspin #runnerswhobike # #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #ncaabasketball #ncaabracket #igotthis #onward
It’s “winter ick” outside, so I rode inside. Just gotta go with the flow 😂 Isn’t it ironic that it feels more like winter now than it did a few weeks ago? Things that make you go hmmm… Anyone else dealing with a winter-rewind…during this first week of spring? 😂🥶🤣 #runnerswhobike #pedalpower #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #goingwiththeflow #onward
17+ miles on the bike with 6x2x2, solid workout on the weekend eve. Early to rise, early to ride. Fueled well with @honeystinger waffle. Have an awesome day #runner friends. #runchat #keepshowingup #ultratraining #runnerswhobike #honeystingerhive #fuelfriday #ultrarunninglife #ultrarunnersofinstagram #runnersofinstagram #runningmotivation
When things are moving & shaking (literally 😂) in the household, you squeeze in your workout amidst the chaos ✅ It’s a good thing sleep is overrated ( #joking 🤩), because it’s been a rare commodity in recent weeks with the hustle & bustle and all the details & logistics of relocating. But, new beginnings? The excitement is almost overwhelming 😍Stay tuned…. Anyways, it’s Talk To Me Tuesday, so there’s a new reel launching over lunch! Do stop back 🙌 Ever relocated? Did the stress seem impossible? or did your fitness fixes make it manageable? #earlymorningfitness #runnerswhobike #fastedcardio #fitnessfix #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #keepgoing #keepsmiling #onward
Daily double done. Zwift ride in the morning, afternoon 10-mile run. #keepshowingup #runchat #ultratraining #believe #ultrarunning #ultrarunnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #runnerswhobike #runningmotivation #runnersofinstagram #sundayfunday #sundayvibes
15 miles on the bike with 1x2x3x4x3x2x1 intervals. Solid Friday active recovery day. Go get it this weekend #runner friends. #runchat #keepshowingup #fuelfriday #honeystingerhive @HoneyStinger #runnerscommunity #runningmotivation #fridayvibes #runnerswhobike #runnersofinstagram #ultrarunnersofinstagram #ultratraining
I love my Thursdays for so many reasons… ***the fun & inspiring cardio hour of power with @debrunsfit 😍 ***18 miles on the bike this morning 🚴 ***strength work (chest, shoulder & core) 🏋️♀️ ***a preview of the daffodils 🌼 …now, let the day commence 🤩 How did your day begin? #thankfulthursday #fitnessfriends #runnerswhobike #strengthtraining #crosstraining #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #fastedcardio #earlymorning #onward
Are you leaping into a great workout on this bonus day of 2024? I got in a 14-mile (indoor) ride while chatting with @debrunsfit this morning, and snuck in a quick core workout as well. Our winter-revert weather has moved on out, so there’s a lot of walking on tap for later 👏😍☀️ ……and you? Are you celebrating Leap Day? #leapday #thankfulthursday #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #runnerswhobike #fitnessfriends #onward
When your #5at5 run gets swapped for a #10at6 ride, you just go with it & let the hair fly #crazyhairdontcare 😂 you might even add some upper-body strength & core work to the mix 😍 So yeah, our weather did an abrupt about-face and brought back some extreme stuff (currently sub-ZERO with the crazy wind 🥶). It’s only for today, though, so I’ll give Momma N a pass #thistime Otherwise, I’m looking at a wonderful Wednesday on deck, so all is well #glasshalffull Enough about me, how are things in your world on this last Wednesday of February? #optinginside #crosstraining #runnerswhobike #strengthtraining #nobatwings #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #onward
Welcome to my Monday morning! *biking 10 miles *chest & back strength *arms & shoulders strength *core Done, done, done & done ✔️ ✅ ☑️ 🙌 Are you starting your Monday with some muscle movement? #mondaymorning #mondaymotivation #runnerswhobike #strength #strengthtraining #core #pelotonstrength #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #fastedcardio #thisismycoffee
It may have looked like night & day, but @debrunsfit & I were in sync 😍 You probably didn’t want to see another bike selfie (nor did I 😂), so I selfied amidst the early morning pre-sunrise during my cool-down walk. Afterwards, I squeezed in some upper-body & core work. Not a bad start to my Thursday—> *14 miles on the bike 🚴 *1-mile power walk 🏃♀️ *core & strength 💪 Onward! Do you vary the location of your post-workout selfies, or do you strike a pose immediately upon finishing …even if it’s almost always in the same place? #fitnessfriends #runnerswhobike #runnerswholift #crosstraining #strength #nobatwings #blissfulpersistence #getrdone
When I’m stuck inside 🥶 …I ride 🚴 Oof, the weather outside was a bit frightful, but the biking inside was on-task. Plus, there was a Garmin 40K badge up for grabs ☑️ So yeah. I’m hoping to get outside for a walk, but it will be under numerous layers 😂🥶💨 Anyone else experiencing a nasty winter-rewind this weekend? Holy brrr!!!! #runnerswhobike #igotthis #spinningandgrinning #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #iowaweather #backtowinter #brrr #keepsmiling #onward
It’s all in a morning’s work(out) 🚴💪😍 *15 miles on the bike 🚴 *arms/shoulder strength 🏋️♀️ *core 🥵 *cardio hour of power with @debrunsfit 😊 *Thankful Thursday ☑️ …and I’m ready for whatever the day may bring 🙌 Does an early morning workout get you revved for the day? #fitnessfriends #earlymorningworkout #runnerswhobike #strengthtraining #crosstraining #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #alliswell #onward
Just another Thankful Thursday Fasted Cardio extravaganza… anyone else a fan? This morning’s roster included 16 miles on the bike with some Batre for good measure. It’s all about balance 😍 Anyone else a fasted cardio fan? Daily? Sometimes? Never? #fastedcardio #earlymorningworkout #runnerswhobike #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #thankfulthursday
Good morning, Monday 😍 I’m ready for you 🚴🙌 Yes, it’s a new week, a new day, and a new morning …I say we greet all three with a smile & a proper attitude 👍 Shall we start with some cycling? And then add-on a little bit of upper-body strength & core? Works for me 🙌… what’s on your roster for today? #mondaymotivation #mondaymorningride #runnerswhobike #blissfulpersistence #fastedcardio #fitafter50 #keepsmiling #onward
Reunited & it feels so good 😍🚴🚴🙌 After a brief sabbatical, @debrunsfit and I reunited for a virtual 15-mile ride this morning. Crazy how the time flies when you’re having fun, chatting & pedaling in unison 🙌…even better when you both show up in (almost) matching colors 😂 How’s your Thursday? What colors are you sporting for your fitness fix today? #fitnessfriends #runnerswhobike #thankfulthursday #spinningandgrinning #fastedcardio #fitafter50 #fitblogger #blissfulpersistence #keepsmiling #onward
You know the drill—> Morning miles inside 🚴= evening miles outside 🏃♀️ (Or maybe that’s just me 🤔😂🤷♀️) Anyways, there’s a full moon run on deck for later, so it was an opt inside kind of morning (besides the streets were slick from yesterday’s rain). Anyone else eyeing a Double Workout Wednesday as well? #letsgetthepartystarted #morningride #runnerswhobike #fastedcardio #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #fitiniowa #onward
Cross training - what do you do? 🤔 . Decided that I need to get a little bit of cross training in as I know the benefits to your body in doing so, but also because having dodgy knees, a little bit of fitness without the pounding can't be a bad thing. Was gifted an older racing bike but found this smart trainer from Elite for a snip at £99. Picked up some rubber mats from Halfords for the garage and looking forward to trying Zwift. 🚲 Do you mix up your training? What do you do? #crosstraining #zwift #runnerswhobike #biking #runtraining #runnersuk #mixedtraining #indoorcycling #running10k
When the outdoor (winter) selfie doesn’t feel that cold 👍 I thought I’d step outside after my 10-miler 🚴, and was pleasantly surprised how warm the upper-20F temps are feeling! You know it’s been extremely cold when sub-freezing feels balmy 😂 My post-workday run is gonna rock (later today) 👍 Anyone eagerly awaiting a brief winter thaw as well? BTW, Happy Monday! #outdoorselfie #winterthaw #mondaymorningfitness #mondaymotivation #runnerswhobike #blissfulpersistence #alliswell #fitafter50 #fitblogger #onward
Yes, it’s still cold in Iowa, but it’s nice & cozy in the Sweat Den Down Under (ahem, my basement 😂). Another morning ride 🚴 & some core-burning 🔥 It is what it is; I’m glad I have indoor options aplenty 👍 Anyone else dealing with arctic-like conditions? How are you coping? Got a favorite indoor fitness fix? #iowawinters #runnerswhobike #coreworkout #keepingfit #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50
Typical Tuesday? Sure, I’ll play 😂 How does an 8-mile warm-up ride sound? 🚴 I’ll also add 20 minutes of upper-body strength, you know, just for fun 🏋️♀️ Holy burning biceps… all of that snow shoveling has done a number on my arms 😂😳💪 They hurt so good, but they are burning 🔥 How’s your Tuesday, thus far? Is it anything typical? 😂 **be sure to check back over lunch—> There’s a new Talk To Me Tuesday reel set to launch 🚀🎤🎙️🙌 #typicaltuesday #hurtssogood #upperbodystrength #feeltheburn #dontstop #fitafter50 #fitblogger #blissfulpersistence #runnerswholift #runnerswhobike #onward

Longest stationary bike ride ever. 25 miles, just under two hours. Still need to figure out some things on @gozwift. But a solid workout nonetheless. Thankful that I had my hydration set in these cool @drinkbivo bottles. #runchat #keepshowingup #ultrarunner #ultratraining #ultrarunningtraining #ultrarunnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #runningcommunity #runnersofinstagram #runnerswhobike
Yes, it’s chilly in Iowa 🥶❄️😂 It is what it is, all we can do is make the best of the circumstances & keep the attitude in check, right? Anyways, I started the morning with 45-ish minutes of driveway shoveling “bootcamp,” and then 20 miles of indoor biking. Now, let the Saturday fun commence 😍👍 Any big plans for your weekend? Any shoveling “bootcamp” happening in your world? #thisisiowa #makingdo #winteriniowa #runnerswhobike #fastedcadio #fitafter50 #alliswell #keepsmiling #noexcuses #blissfulpersistence #onward
So, I’m an optimist, but also a realist 😂 I brought all my work gear home with me last night, in anticipation of what Momma N had in store for Iowa. Smart move! The morning started with an indoor ride (obviously) and a successful “don’t let the 26mph wind blow you over” outdoor pic. And, if you swipe through the pics, you can see what used to be my driveway 🤦♀️❄️🤷♀️ I’m glad I have a cozy house, plenty of work to keep me busy, and a sweet little dog who’s glad to have me home all day. All is well 😍 What’s your weather up to? #thisisiowa #winteriniowa #gotsnow #indoorworkout #outdoorselfie #senseofhumorisamust #runnerswhobike #blissfulpersistence

Because you probably don’t want to see another selfie of me with my bike 🚴♀️, I’ll share a pic of the short upper-body workout 💪that followed my 15-mile ride instead (you’re welcome 😂). Suffice it to say my body is exhausted… 2.5 cumulative hours of wet, heavy, sticky snow shoveling will do that to you. It was a great full-body workout, but #ouch! The snow removal DOMS ain’t no joke 🔥😳❄️ That’s my Wednesday morning story, what’s yours? #runnerswhobike #doms #upperbodyworkout #fitafter50 #fitblogger #blissfulpersistence #wednesdaymotivation #wednesdayworkout #alliswell #onward
My Sunday? So far, so good 😍🚴♀️🙌 I’m hoping to hit the weights later & get outside for some sunshine, but right now I have a post-20-mile-ride pancake breakfast calling my name 😂 If you’ll excuse me… How’s YOUR Sunday, thus far? #sundaybikeride #runnerswhobike #notjustarunner #sweatequity #milingandsmiling #fitafter50 #fitblogger #blissfulpersistence #instabiking
Just another Thankful Thursday, and another early start to my day 😍🏃♀️🚴♀️🏋️♀️ 🤩🙌 First off, a 3-mile run with @debrunsfit (in our respective places, amidst the still-remaining holiday lights), and then some saddle time, and some lower-body strength. Whew! And I made it to my 7:30 dentist appointment early 👍 How’s your Thursday? #upsndatit #earlymorning #fitnessfriends #blissfulpersistence #iowarunner #rungrinnell #fitafter50 #teamroadid #runnerswhobike #runnerswholift #onward
When you wake up “early,” (translation:before your 4:30AM alarm 😂), you head outside & snag your 1-mile streak run (under the full moon) & get it done…right? Then, you hop on the bike for 14 miles (while chatting with @debrunsfit, who’s also running under the full moon) and finish off with some bonus cardio & strength work. Well, that’s what I’d do 😆 How about you? What would YOU have done? #thankfulthursday #gettingitdone #fitnessfriends #whiletheworldsleeps #runnerswhobike #cardioworkout #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #onward
Monday morning madness …on Wednesday (I think? 😂🤷♀️) You know the drill: the daily fitness routine continues, though my mind is a bit confused on what day it is. First World probs, right? Anyways, 10 miles on the bike for now, and a full moon run tonight. And, most likely, a busy day of catch-up at the office. Another First World problem 👍 Are you back in a routine, or are you still “on holiday?” #backatit #earlymornings #earlymorningworkout #runnerswhobike #fitafter50 #fitblogger #blissfulpersistence
How’s my Thursday, thus far? Since you asked 😂, I’ll share that it’s off to a great start: *13 (virtual) miles on the bike 🚴 *brief cool-down outside 🥵 *lively conversation with @debrunsfit (she ran & walked) *20 minutes of banded Barre with @allymisslove *10 minutes of arms/shoulders (also with @allymisslove) I’m feeling all warm & fuzzy (and my muscles are burning 🔥), so all is well😊 …how about you? What’s happening in your Thursday world this week? #thankfulthursday #fitnessfriends #runnerswhobike #strengthtraining #barre #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #keepsmiling #onward
The ponytail does not lie 😂🚴🙌 Low impact, but high intensity on the bike. Short, but thorough upper-body burn. I’m good 👍 That’s my Tuesday morning, how’s yours? **check back over lunch—> A new Talk To Me Tuesday is launching 🚀🎙️🎤 #tuesdaymotivation #notjustarunner #runnerswhobike #runnerswholift #blissfulpersistence #onward
When it’s just you, the bike & 15 miles… …you may opt for a quick 1-mile streak run as a cool-down 😂🚴🥵🏃♀️🙌 I’m ever grateful for my indoor options, but nothing beats getting outside (even if it’s a bit chilly). Besides, there’s no way I’m taking a pass on sunshine ☀️ That’s my Sunday thus far. Still on the roster-more baking & even more knitting. Not a bad gig 🤩 Anyone else deep in the midst of holiday prepping? Are you still giving yourself some “Me Time,” and staying on track with YOUR fitness & well being? #mysunday #runnerswhobike #optoutside #rwrunstreak #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #brooksrunning #runhappy #keepsmiling #onward
It’s been quite a Thankful Thursday 😍 After a 2-week sabbatical, @debrunsfit and I resumed our weekly Thursday cardio gig (early) this morning, and we extended the fitness fun a few hours later 👍 It was a matter of inside/outside, dark/sunny and running/biking. Myself, I pedaled 14 miles while she ran & walked (in the early morning hours) and later, she biked while I got my streak run done. Yay for us 🚴🙌🏃♀️😍 Have you ever knocked-out some fitness fun with a friend in a different city? #thankfulthursday #fitnessfriends #runnerswhobike #cyclistswhorun #fastedcardio #cardiofun #arentwelucky #blissfulpersistence
It’s a #GoodMorning” (in more ways than one) #iykyk 😉🏋️♀️🙌 *14 miles on the bike 🚴 *20 minutes of glutes/ legs 🤩 *10 minutes shoulders/tri’s 💪 …and I’ve got some burning going on 🔥😂, and that’s the way (uh huh, uh huh) I like it 😍 Thankful Thursday has got me feeling all kinds of good things, anyone else? #thankfulthursday #runnerswhobike #runnerswholift #ridingandsmiling #feeltheburn #pelotonstrength #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #keepsmiling #onward
A solid start to this Monday, this new day, and this new week ✅✅✅ We did some HIIT & hills on the bike, some core work & some arms & shoulders strength. Let’s just say I’m feeling a full-body burn at the moment 😍🔥🙌 But enough about me 😂, what’s your Monday have in store ? #mondaymotivation #notamanicmonday #runnerswhobike #strength #coreworkout #peloton #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #feeltheburn #onward
Talk about your curtsy burn 🔥😂🏋️♀️ Well, there also was a 12-mile ride, but that would have been a boring selfie 🤭🚴😉 Anyways, my morning is off to a solid action-packed start, and I think there’s another ride on deck for tonight…because why not? When’s the last time you curtsied? Those babies mean business 👍 #thankfulthursday #runnerswhobike #strengthtraining #lowerbodyburn #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #onward
Happy Monday morning! (At least it is in my world ) 🚴💪😍 How does a 12-mile early morning ride sound? What if we sweeten it with some upper-body strength & core work afterwards? Well, it works for me 😂 This will do for now, and I’m saving the run for later, under the glow of the full moon 🌕 How’s your Monday? What’s happening in your world? #mondaymotivation #mondaymorning #runnerswhobike #upperbodyworkout #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #keepsmiling #onward

…and that’s my morning 😍🚴🙌 Yes, a slight sleep-in, and then 25 miles on the bike. So what if my legs feel “jelly-like” at the moment. The cardio was great, and all is well 👍 I’m heading outside later for some walking later. The weather is fabulous here ☀️ How’s your Sunday? #sundayride #ridingandsmiling #runnerswhobike #crosstraining #cardio #fitblogger #fitafter50 #onward
Another Thursday with all things thankful 😍 🏃♀️🚴🏋️♀️ *6.6 cumulative miles with @debrunsfit 🎂 🎉🎈 *arm strength with @tune2tunde 💪 *Barre with Aly 🍑 Nothing like some early morning fitness to get the day “off & running,” am I right? 🙌 Are you moving & grooving today? In the morning, mid-day or later? #fitnessfriends #upandrunning #runnerswhobike #runnerswholift #pelotonstrength #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #thankfulthursday #onward
Don’t be fooled by the tank, this runner started the morning on the bike 😂🚴🙌 …she also did a little bit of strength work & is saving the run for after work (in the warmth of the mid-November sunshine). All is well 👍 Incidentally, how is your Monday morning?

How about a Friday high-5! Whew, has it been a week 😂The fitness “fixes” certainly serve a valuable purpose, don’t they? (And not just for physical well being #iykyk) My Friday (thus far) saw eight miles of pedaling 🚴What’s on deck for your Friday? Any fitness on the roster? Rest? Recovery? #fridayfitness #fastedcardio #runnerswhobike #fitblogger #fitafter50 #high5 #keepsmiling #funwithfilters #blissfulpersistence #onward
This past weekend I participated in Cycle66, which was my first official cycling event ever. I’m more of a runner, so this was a whole new world for me. 🚲 #cycling #runnerswhobike #cyclist #cycle66 #cyclingphotos #cyclinglifestyle #runners #runninglife #runnersofinstagram #route66 #oklahoma #edmondok #edmondoklahoma #middleoftheroadrunner
PSA-> Yes, you can wear your “biking sandals” on the indoor bike 🙌🚴👍 This was a major Ahah Moment for yours truly! Mind you, it still was very hot & steamy, but my feet were so happy 😍 We knocked out 25 miles & Garmin tossed a badge at us when we finished ✅ So, that’s my Sunday morning story…what’s yours? #runnerswhobike #indoorcycling #crosstraining #cardio #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #feelinggood #feelingfine #sundayfitness #oneard
When you have to shed the top layer #iykyk 🥵🚴😂 It’s been awhile since I’ve camped on the indoor bike for 20 miles, and now I remember just how hot it gets without the outdoor breeze. Even with a fan blowing on me, I was definitely feeling some heat (especially my feet!). Alas, I’m always grateful to have indoor options, at the ready, when the weather outside is frightful 😍 So, that’s my Sunday morning fitness story…do you have one? #runnerswhobike #indoorcycling #isithotinhere #sundayfitness #riseandride #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #keepsmiling #onward
When it’s just you, the bike, and 10 miles ✅✅✅ So what if I’m a cardio junkie? It feels great to just let the legs go & ride that cardio wave 🙌 Anyways, as you were. Enjoy your evening 😍 #thatsallfolks #indoorcycling #runnerswhobike #eveningcardio #blissfulpersistence #keepsmiling #fitafter50 #fitblogger #onward
Is wearing running gear, for an indoor ride, a conflict of interests? (Asking for a friend 😂) Technically, this was a recovery ride from those 13.29 miles I ran yesterday…if that helps with your answer. Thoughts? #recoveryride #runnerswhobike #posthalfmarathon #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #wearpink

17 miles on the bike. Felt amazing to get the legs moving once again. It’s the dawn of a new training cycle. The possibilities are endless. One step, or pedal, at a time. Keep showing up. Onward. #keepshowingup #runchat #dreambig #runnersofinstagram #runnerswhobike #runningmotivation #ultrarunning #ultrarunningcommunity #ultrarunninglife #ultrarunnersofinstagram #honeystingerhive @HoneyStinger
POV …when your outdoor biking season has (most likely) come to an end —> we make the best of the situation & hop on the spin bike 🙌 Nope, it doesn’t even come close, but it’ll do ✅ If nothing else, it really makes me appreciate the great outdoors that much more 😍 When do you call it quits on the outdoor cycling? We have cold, wet, and windy weather here, so it was an easy decision 😂 #indoorcycling #runnerswhobike #spinningandgrinning #blissfulpersistence #fitafter50 #fitblogger #glasshalffull #onward
Double Workout Wednesday, anyone? Five miles on foot at 5AM 🏃♀️✅ 14 miles on wheels at 5:15PM 🚴✅ (I predict a good night of slumber is in the cards 😂😴🙌) Anyone else a fan of double workout days? Anyone? Bueller? #doubleworkoutday #runnerswhobike #optoutside #iowacycling #bikegrinnell #blissfulpersistence #teamroadid #crosstraining #onward
Oh wind, oh wind, where for art though wind? Answer: anywhere I so choose to ride thy bike 😂🚴🤷♀️ Oh well, at least we had a beautiful warm summer-like day, though there’s already blatant signs of autumn (I’m looking at you, fallen leaves 🍁 and random walnuts 🐿️ scattered on the trail). It still feels great to be outside, nonetheless…and 24.5 miles of pedaling worked wonders for my post-long-run legs 👍 Have you started seeing signs of the fall season? #runnerswhobike #bikingconkrystal #ridingandsmiling #knockfan #teamroadid #blissfulpersistence #raccoonrivervalleytrail #iowacycling #onward
And just like that... after today's 15 mile ride, I completed my 100 mile goal!!! ....... I reached my fundraising goal early in the month!
