An easy three miles and an awesome back, biceps, and shoulders session were today's training. Mentally, I'm in a much better place today. I hate when that fog comes in and takes over everything. I hate that it doesn't matter what I do-I just have to grit my teeth and get through it. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
All I want for mother's day is to be left alone. Anyone else? No? Just me? Ok then. A quick run and long legs and glutes because my daughter can't ask me 100 questions while I'm running away from her and my husband made her leave me alone during strength. Happy mother's day to all the wonderful mommas out there. I hope your day is everything you want it to be. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
To the Mother's: Motherhood comes with an array of challenges, but also awards us with the most beautiful memories and moments to cherish. You are influencing your children each and every day with the actions you both do and don't take. May you all find time today to reflect on the efforts and impact you make day in and day out within your family 🫶💐 🏃♀️➡️10km, 8° #motherrunner #runthismomlife #mothersday

I knew this run wasn't going to go as prescribed because it called for a 5k at an 8:40-9:40 pace. I get super uncomfortable when my heart rate is that high for that long and won't let myself sit in the discomfort. Or run in it, as it were. This is something I need to work on. Also, I went out on this run as @amglaze left the last aid station at @cocodona250 . I ran my run with the idea of racing him. 🤣🤣🤣 In my head, I was thinking that I MIGHT be able to run these 5 miles before he could do those last 8 miles of a 250 mile race. Watching him and the other amazing athletes has been so inspiring. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
Things are hard. Life. Parenting. Wifing. Mental stability. Happiness. But I moved my body today. And @garminfitness : I'd really appreciate it if you'd get this crap figured out where my watch doesn't transfer my strength workouts to my app. It's super frustrating. @service_garmin_connect_ #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner

It’s amazing how running is the one thing that is always there for you. Through all of life’s ups and downs, through the people that choose to stay and choose to go, running is the one and only constant. The one thing I can depend on. I will never take it for granted. Without the ability to put one foot in front of the other for the last 20 years, I don’t know where I would be. It has gotten me through countless tough times and has become the one constant relationship I can depend on. It teaches me to appreciate myself when others don’t. Keep running friends, it changes lives 💕 #run #running #runthismomlife #runner #runnermom #singlemoms #singlemama #singlemomlife #training #coaching #runcoaching #runcoach #hartfordmarathon #hartfordmarathon2024 #relationships #hoka #hokacielox1 #lululemon #goodr

I almost didn't have time to do this workout because I wouldn't make myself get up. But I did it and was done in time to get my daughter from school and get her ready for dance pictures. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
I don't know what it is about Sundays that make me so anxious and short tempered. There is always so much that needs to get done and never enough time. But I know that if I don't start my week with a completed workout, it will feel like I'm starting the week behind. So I made myself get it done. Today was a tempo run and back, biceps, and shoulders. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
Today was my first long run since The Great Sidewalk Catastrophe and my first time hitting right miles since Easter. I was nervous and completely avoided the sidewalk I fell on. At one point about 7 miles in, there was an older lady walking out to her mailbox. As I ran by, she said, "that's what I should be doing, but I can only do this" and gestured to herself walking. I told her that it's good she was doing what she could. When I'm in that stage of my life, I don't want to look back and think how much I wish I'd been more active and taken better care of myself when I was younger. The more I'm active and take care of my body now, the more active I'll be able to be when I'm older. That's the goal. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner

Hill repeats can bite me. Especially when I go into them with sore legs.

I was a little pessimistic about my ability to do the middle of this tempo run, but it went really well. I freaking love running in this weather. After the run, I did a full body strength where I had to skip most of the cool down because I would have been late to get my stitches out. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun
I did a quick and easy three miles and a legs and glutes strength workout today. Again, my Garmin isn't saving my strength. @garminfitness @garmin @garminrunning #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
Again, my @garmin updated and now isn't saving my strength workouts. Awesome. Today was my first run since the great fall. It went well. My on-call nurses (@emilyann1377 and Angela) told me to wait 7-10 days. I gave it eight. Everything felt fine. I'll be so glad to get these stitches out on Tuesday. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner

Today I walked 4.43 miles in two separate walks because I have poor time management skills and couldn't get it all done before my daughter's soccer game. Tomorrow I will run because my head, according to my nurse friend, is healing well and looks good. I get my stitches out Tuesday, but I want to start my week off tomorrow with a run. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
Thoughts on running/life lately... The other day I was talking to someone about how some days I just want to delete Instagram. Too much comparison- is it robbing me of joy? But, I also love seeing everyone else’s journeys. Do I get jealous of those that can run faster and qualify for Boston? Of course. But, I’m also so proud of them and strive to get there one day. Then I think- why do I want to qualify for Boston? I would have to shave an HOUR off of my marathon time. That’s impossible, right? Maybe. I can still have that dream in the back of my head though. I read on @tfneuberger post the other day “You’ll never be satisfied- but chase the idea.” I never thought about that before, but it’s true. If I have something to chase- I have a purpose. And that’s enough for me. Next week (god willing) I will be SIX YEARS sober. In 2017-beginning of 2018 I did not go ONE day without a drink. And here I am 2,187 days without one. So I’ve done impossible things before. And for now- I’ll just keep posting my thoughts on here. I used to want to gain more followers. That will always be a plus, but for today, I’m posting for myself. To show myself I’ve done hard things. And to whoever reads this- you can do hard things too. Maybe not today- but there’s always one day. ❤️
Well, 💩 I fell spectacularly on my run today. It's ok. I broke the fall with my face. I'm pretty pissed that: A) I can't fall and scrape my knees like a normal person. B) When I fell, I completely scraped the lenses of my @goodr sunglasses C) The run was going SO well. I was pretty much keeping in zone 2 and the miles were feeling easy. D) I'm currently waiting in the ER because I'm fairly sure I need stitches. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
“I dk where I’m going…but I sure know where I’ve been…” For the last 2 weeks I’ve wrestled with my desire to show up on Monday at the start of the Boston Marathon. Hamstring/glute injury, vacation, work, life with 4 kids…it was all feeling like too much. Ironic timing as this onset right as the hardest work of this cycle came to an end. I sat down and reflected on all the hard work I’ve put in from my training log. I reminded myself that I’ve raced with nagging injuries before (not saying it’s recommended 🤪). I embraced making memories with my fam on vacation, knowing that rearranging a workout schedule for a week makes no difference in outcome. I’ve absorbed beautiful messages from friends, acquaintances, and my husband, offering words of support. Ultimately we never know how things will pan out on race day. What I do know is that I’ve always put “my best foot forward” and made it thru. This one will be no different 🙏🏻💙 It’s taken a lot for me to get back to this mental space, but Boston, I’m comin for ya 💙💛 P.S. Could @zootsports just sponsor me already?! 🤣 I am obsessed with their brand and pictured is my race day kit I just bought this week but tested out this one time lol No matter how many other brands I try, I always end up racing in their line. The fit and pockets and colors do it for me every time!
What should we name this run?? ❓The white shirt was a bold choice 😬 ❓Actually pay attention to the weather when you check it ❓Poor time management/time blindness strikes again ❓I need a running hat ❓A rain jacket would probably be nice, too It was actually a really awesome run. I was so focused on the rain and the way it was pelting me in the eyeballs and how, at one point, I couldn't see the end of the road that the actual running didn't really feel like anything. Then I did a 30 minute glutes and abs that felt like nothing but will probably make itself know tomorrow. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
Again the @garmin didn't save my strength info. So that's fun. The ONLY reason today's training got done was because I told myself "stop being a little bitch" and "quit breaking promises to yourself." So three miles and an upper body push got done. #progress #progressnotperfection #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
Today's training was a 30 minute fartlek run and a 40 minute back, biceps, and shoulders strength workout.

Heading into My Birthday Week Like… 🎂 🏃🏻♀️ This week, we had some incredible weather for April in Florida! I tried to soak up our last few cool days as best as I could and I had a few solid runs because of it! 🎂 My 38th birthday is coming up this week (!!!) and I realized I’m just $380 away from my fundraising goal to support @gotrchicago. If you’re able, I’d love to see how many people can donate $3.80 or $13.80 or even $38 to help support scholarships for girls who can’t afford this life-changing program. Link in bio to learn more! On to the recap: ✨Monday: 60 minutes easy + lower body strength ✨Tuesday: 45 minutes easy + upper body & deep core strength ✨Wednesday: 7 mile fartlek (6 x 2:00 @ 10K, 4 x 1:00 @ 5K) ✨ Thursday: Full body strength ✨ Friday: 60 minutes easy ✨ Saturday: 10 miles with 4 @ moderate pace 35 miles for the week! ——————————— #motherrunners #momswhorun #runlikeamother #runthismomlife #motherrunner #instarunners #instarun #runnersofinstagram #runningcommunity #womensrunning #runningmotivation #runninginspiration #runchat #seenonmyrun #floridarunner #halfmarathontraining #elevateyourrunning #chicagomarathon

Six miles of intervals was on the schedule for today's training. The weather was absolute 🐂💩. There was sun, it rained, there were heavy gray clouds, and the whole run was peppered with massive wind gusts. I was supposed to hit 400m intervals at a 7:15-7:55 pace. I only hit my splits four times. 🤷🏼♀️ But I kept going and tried. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner

if you told me I’d get 9+ hours of uninterrupted sleep and a solo run on the first day of April, I would’ve thought it was a JOKE! but… 🤗 #happyapril #runningmom #momgoals #runlikeamother #tiredasamother #runthismomlife #runsonjellybeans
I considered not doing anything today. It would have been easier. But then I remembered how I feel when I don't show up for myself. When I don't move. When I break promises to myself. How it feels when I start a month in what I feel like is a deficit because I didn't stick to my plans and remember my goals. So I got up and ran. And then I did a strength workout that I DEFINITELY didn't have time for. But I did it. I showed up for myself. I think that's going to be April's goal. What goals do you have for yourself this month?

🏃🏻♀️Running + Training Lately 🏃🏻♀️ After a busy winter racing season with two 10Ks and two half marathons (and PRs in both distances!), I enjoyed a nice recovery period before jumping into my base building era. My goals for this phase of training are all about consistency… with running, of course, but also strength and my PT exercises. I want to get to Chicago healthy and strong! Weekly Recap: ✨Monday: 60 minutes easy + lower body strength ✨Tuesday: 45 minutes easy + upper body & deep core strength ✨Wednesday: 7ish mile fartlek (8 x 2:00 @ 10K) ✨ Thursday: Full body strength ✨ Friday: 30 minutes // supposed to do 50 minutes but had an unexpected time crunch so did what I could with the time I had 🤷🏻♀️ ✨ Saturday: 10 miles easy peasy I ended the week with 34 miles and a sense of pride for being flexible when life throws curveballs. ——————————— #motherrunners #momswhorun #runlikeamother #runthismomlife #motherrunner #instarunners #instarun #runnersofinstagram #runningcommunity #womensrunning #runningmotivation #runninginspiration #runchat #seenonmyrun #floridarunner #halfmarathontraining #marathontraining #elevateyourrunning
I showed up for myself today because I haven't been. Admittedly, I started this run because I wanted to be able to say I did it today. So I could say that I didn't let the holiday be another excuse to not move. Then it became more about why I started in the first place. How running makes me feel. How it lets me think (or not, depending on the day). How it forces me to accept the things I've been burying or neglecting or ignoring. How it's HARD and I do it anyway. Now, I can spend time with my family and know that I've shown up for myself and for them. I can enjoy my time without the guilt of breaking yet another promise to myself. Happy Easter, everyone! 🧺🐇🐰✝️ #keepshowingup #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner

Well, I moved my body. I haven't run since Thursday, and I was completely crunched for time because of my inability to make myself get off my butt. I went out way too fast and couldn't get my heart rate down. It wasn't pretty by any stretch of the imagination, but it's done. #progress #progressnotperfection #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner #soberrunner
I really didn't want to today. Really. After my run, it took me literally three times the work time on that Garmin graphic to get that leg workout done. One hour twenty eight minutes to do a 45 minute workout because I kept stopping between circuits trying to get myself to move to the next one. In the end, motivation had absolutely zero percent to do with it. There was no real reason for my unwillingness to do what I needed to do, so I put on my big girl underwear and powered through. It wasn't my best workout. No where near my best. But it's done. I didn't give up on myself. So there's today's silver lining. #progress #progressnotperfection #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
My kiddos were troopers during today's intervals. My son went without WiFi, so he's practically medieval now. And my daughter manages to not interrupt me at all, which is completely unheard of. Also, my legs aren't ready to go 400m at 7:15-7:50 yet. #progress #progressnotperfection #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
Three easy miles today. As much as I hate getting up and getting the kids to school, not having anywhere to be is terrible for me. I sleep forever and wait too long to get my stuff started.

Today was a fartlek that went surprisingly well and a 40 minute arms workout that was amazing. However, my watch is not saving my strength workouts. Got any ideas about fixing that, @garmin @garminfitness ???

Three quick miles and a quick glutes and abs workout where I accidentally deleted the strength on my watch because my head is so busy. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
This is what an unfueled run looks like. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ At about mile three I remembered that I hadn't eaten anything since before my 8:20 meeting at my son's school. And it all went downhill from there. I've also had a headache since last night that progressively got worse as I ran. I also waited so long to run that I didn't have time to do strength before having to get my kids. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
This is 40. 🎂🧁🥳🎂🧁🥳🎂🧁🥳🎂🧁🥳 I was honestly not feeling the training today. I was tired and my legs are still sore from Sunday's leg torture session. But I did it. I finished my 40 miles by my 40th birthday and then rocked through an upper body session. I'm so grateful that, at 40, I'm in so much better shape than I was at 39. Or even 20.

Today, I hate running. It's hard and made harder by 17mph winds. It's made harder by a negative mindset that sometimes can't be overcome with gratitude and doing all the things that help overcome mindset because some days the brain is our biggest enemy. But I did it. I didn't rely on motivation or feeling like it. I didn't want to break a promise to myself even though my brain is telling me that it doesn't matter what I do and I'll never achieve my goals and nothing's changing and it's going to be hard and blah blah blah blah. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner #disciplineovermotivation
When discipline becomes self love 💕. Seeing the sun at the end of a run is just a whole vibe after ending so many in the dark/rain lately. Some days running so is hard, some days it’s rewarding and other days it’s just exactly what I need. Went to bed later than usual last night, and was dreading the early alarm. Let me tell you- a chat with a good friend while running and watching the sun rise- it was worth it. Legs felt great, heart feels even better. Happy Friday & Happy International Women’s Day! 💁🏼♀️ Ready to conquer the day and get to the weekend!!!!
You know, people with normally functioning brains probably don't consider what their run is going to smell like. I, however, don't have that luxury. Actually, I don't think about it before I go out. But I do think about it a lot while I'm running. Smells like someone doing laundry, the sour mash from the Jack Daniels distillery, someone burning yard debris, and people grilling are all smells I've encountered. Today, I added a new one. Rotting fish. It's not actual fish. It's time for the Bradford Pear trees to bloom, and they come with the overwhelming and unfortunate odor of fish that should definitely not be cooked. What smells have you encountered while running?? #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
Nothing feels quite as good as a beautiful sunny day and heading off into the woods and just running 🏃♀️ I get outside and run almost daily. I’m really having some mixed emotions as I get ready to take a long break from running while I’ll be in recovery. Running is something I truly enjoy and have found a sense of peace while doing so. Trying to get in as much as I can while I can. I really can’t wait to see just how different running will feel once I return.
I had every intention of NOT running today. I'd fully talked myself out of it because of weather, crappy sleep, and a general feeling of I don't wanna. Then I ate a pop tart and felt like a completely different person. I got my shoes on and got it done. My quads are so so sore from who know what, and they burned the entire run. I didn't do strength today because I just didn't want to subject my legs to that pain. But I kept the promise to myself to move and keep my running schedule. Small. Wins. #progress #progressnotperfection #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
That tempo run sucked. The programming was: 5:00 @ 10:05 to 10:45 min/mile 5:00 @ 9:30 to 10:05 min/mile 5:00 @ 9:00 to 9:30 min/mile 5:00 @ 9:30 to 10:05 min/mile 5:00 @ 10:05 to 10:45 min/mile The middle one killed me. I'm not at a full 5 mins sprinting like that. Especially when every damn road in this town is a hill. The run didn't go as planned, but the 40 minute arms workout was AMAZEBALLS. My arms are shaking holding the phone. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 Thank you @sydneycummings_ for beating me in the best way possible. Also, her motivational cool down is always something I need to hear. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #arms #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
Three more miles towards my 40 and a quick full body strength session were today's workout. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #sundayrunday #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner @yesfitchallenges #yesfitchallenges #yesfit #virtualrace #virtualrun
Today was the first long run I've done in a while. It was a beautiful day to get it done, and I have zero regrets about moving it from yesterday when it was 49° and rainy. Today also marks the beginning of my 40 miles before my 40th birthday. Seven miles down. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner @yesfitchallenges #yesfitchallenges #yesfit #virtualrace #virtualrun
When I got the email from @yesfitchallenges promoting their new birthday race that is 40 miles through Bolivia, I knew I had to do it for my 40th birthday. I created a tracker for the miles. It took me an incredibly long time and isn't exactly what I wanted, but 🤷🏼♀️. If any other '84 babies want to join me, I have a code I can send you. 😁 #mileagetracker #40milesfor40years #1984baby #birthdaymonth #40yearsyoung #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner #yesfitchallenges #yesfit #virtualrace #virtualrun
🏴☠️⚓️ 2024 Gasparilla Half Marathon ⚓️🏴☠️ It’s been a few days since my last half marathon, my second of this season. I love this race: the course is beautiful and fast, the crowd support along Bayshore is enthusiastic, and who can argue with a pirate theme? The weather can be hit or miss but we got lucky with perfect race-day temps this year! ✨ Finish Time: 1:40:39 — a 2 minute PR and a 22 minute course PR! ✨ While the outcome is amazing, I’m more proud of the process that got me there. Shout out to @sayrahrunshappy and @elevateyourrunning for the incredible training and support, both physical and mental! With that, my first racing season in 5+ years comes to a close. As I move into recovery and base building for Chicago, my heart is full and my dreams are big. ✨✨✨ ——————————— #motherrunners #momswhorun #runlikeamother #runthismomlife #motherrunner #instarunners #instarun #runnersofinstagram #runningcommunity #womensrunning #runningmotivation #runninginspiration #runchat #seenonmyrun #floridarunner #halfmarathontraining #elevateyourrunning
I really didn't want to do this today. I slept like absolute 💩. My back hurts from my dining room chairs. I was delaying and delaying some more. Then I got a message from my daughter's teacher that my kiddo wasn't feeling well and needed to be picked up. Not going to lie-I seriously considered skipping my workout today with the excuse of having a sick kid at home. I'm really trying to not base my actions on feelings and emotions, so I made sure my daughter was fine and did my workout. The run was terrible because my legs felt like cement, there were 15MPH winds, my head wasn't in it, and I was worried about getting back to my kid in case she needed me. I modified a few of the strength movements based on energy level and general blah-ness, but I did it. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner #momlife
Low quality selfie, but high quality vibes. ⚡️ After an unexpected second down week due to sickness/lack of sleep/life- I was nervous to get back into the swing of things with a tough workout. Going into another super busy week, but still making time for my goals. CRUSHED my workout this morning, and going into a tough day of work with positive vibes! What’s one thing you’re proud of yourself for getting done this week?! No matter how small!
Why yes- those are Christmas and Halloween blow ups in my yard. Hopefully the warmth and sunshine will allow them to dry and finally be put away. Today was a 40 minute fartlek and a 40 minute arms and abs workout. Although it means speed play, fartlek is definitely not fun for me. It's a challenge and I'm working on it. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #arms #strength #weights #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
Today has been a 💩 show kind of day. Everything started off well. I'm putting new systems into place and working on productivity. My run was FANTABULOUS. I just went. I kept looking at my pace and telling myself that I needed to slow down, but my HR was good so I went with it. Then, I got home to do strength and the Internet was going in and out. I kicked the kids off the wifi hoping that was the issue, but it kept buffering during my working sets. I tried resetting the system per my husband's instructions, and the Internet wouldn't work at all. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Technology not working makes me irrationally angry. I aborted strength because I have too much to get done and was super hungry once I stopped. 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
I ran today, that’s all. #runlikeamother #motherrunner #runthismomlife #tiredasamother #running #runningmotivation

5 miles in the sunshine ☀️ my first run back after taking a much needed mental and physical break. Something that’s important to remember as a new runner is that no matter how motivated you feel, burn out is real. And no matter how much I hate to admit it, I was burnt out! Life as a mother of 3 is hectic enough. Trying to fit marathon training, work, housework, my children’s extra curricular activities, and family time into a day is tough. And I just wasn’t enjoying my runs anymore. If I missed a run due to illness or a schedule conflict, I felt guilty for days. Last week I accepted a new job, and with that are new work hours which will severely limit my running time. I’ve had to make the very tough decision to not run my spring marathon this year 😢 My running is important, but my family is number one, and taking the time to help my children into their new normal over the next couple of months will be the most important thing I do. I’ll still be running & focusing on getting faster while enjoying my runs again. I have the international Detroit half marathon to look forward to this fall, and maybe my first marathon awaits me next year after everyone is settled into the new routine. #motherrunner #motherrunnerlife #runthismomlife #marathontraining #runningmom #michiganrunner #runner
Five miles and a 45 minute leg strength that took me over an hour because I crashed. Hard. I'm ready to be done with today. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
Not the best at the run selfie game, but this weather was too perfect to not post. Light snow, high 30’s, no wind. First run outside in almost two weeks felt AMAZING. That is all. ✌🏼
I'm surprised I got through this run with the way my stomach has been rebelling all day. I didn't end up getting to strength because of my stomach and because it was time to go get my kids from school. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
MY RUNNING VALENTINE who *literally* has my back 🏃🏻♀️🚴🏻♂️ — I wholeheartedly don’t think I would be a runner if it weren’t for him, his running, and his support — the last pic is my fave! 🥰 I’m trying to talk him into another treadmill so we can run together more often — like for real side by side treadmills — 💌 is that too much?!! 🤣 #runningcouple #runningpartner #irondad #runlove #runningmotivation #runningmom #runthismomlife
My time blindness is horrible today. Everything is taking way longer than expected. I had to stop strength with 10 minutes left to get the kids from school. But it was a beautiful but windy day to get 5 miles of hill repeats in. Seriously windy. Then 30 minutes of full body strength. Now to rush and get Valentines for the little because all of a sudden it's the day before and we've done nothing. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
Treadmill tempo run was today's training since it's storming here. I hated all of it. The humidity in my house is unreal and I was not prepared. The strength training scheduled for today is going to have to wait. #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgoals #myfitnessjournal #myfitnessjourney #workoutmotivation #workoutoftheday #fitmom #mombod #runnersofinstagram #runner #running #runningmotivation #instarunners #runningcommunity #runhappy #run #runners #runnerlife #runningismytherapy #runthismomlife #motherrunner #momsthatrun #badassmotherrunner
