Sunrise this morning with @esther_m_ross โฆ then a 5.5 mile run! So glad I have my super comfy #stilettorunning shorts for the heat and humidity!! #run #runner #stilettorunningambassador #daytonabeach
And so the season of complaining, whining and wondering where all our fast paces have gone begins ๐ฅต . Who invited July weather in mid May?! ๐ค Iโm so not ready for this and neither is my body ๐คฃ All the paces that felt great over the last few months felt like death today โ ๏ธ BUT warm weather training sets us up for fall races and as long as weโre not giving up and putting in the effort, thatโs where the magic happens ๐ . Are your runs being impacted by warm weather? . Todayโs workout: 9.8 miles total ๐๐ผ 2 mile warmup ๐๐ผ 3 miles @ 7:45 Actual: 7:47, 8:14, 8:00 5 min recovery ๐๐ผ 2 miles @ 7:40 Actual: 8:14, 8:30 5 min recovery ๐๐ผ 1 mile @ 7:35 Actual: 7:51 ๐๐ผ 1 mile cooldown . The truth about this run, felt like crap, was miserably hot, my quads were so fatigued and for 90 minutes I kept asking myself how the heck I was running mile repeats a few weeks ago @ 7:15-7:35 paces and how have I run many half marathons between 1:42-1:45 feeling 1000% times better than today๐ Ahhhhh summer running makes me question my life choices ๐คช๐คฃ๐ .

People LOVE excuses. I can't go because.... I can't do that because.... I didn't get around to it because... I make them too, so I know. Today! I have excuses in reverse. I did my morning run when I probably should have picked a different activity BECAUSE I had 18 minutes left to complete one of my @garmin connect challenges, and today was the last day to do it. A healthy excuse! I will say my quads weren't happy with my decision, but my mind was determined. I mean, heck, what's 18-20 minutes anyway? Ran easy, and my legs felt okay. Got into the 2nd mile and said, let's finish the month strong, just run a full 5K. Happy to say mind over legs won out. . . . . . . . #tyedye #morningrun #halfmarathontraining #shokzsquad #runhappy #swimbikerun #procompression #procompressionambassador #runstrong #runnershigh #rungear #runnerscommunity #runrunrun #halfmarathoner #garminfitness #runstreak #rungirlrun #easyrun #morningmotivation #stilettorunning #runner #healthyandhappy #runtherapy #getyourrunon #sweatequity #momswhorun

What a morning! 1/2 half marathon of the season for me and boy, it was a little rough at the end. I always forget just how hilly Central Park is, and the second loop always kills me, but for some reason, I keep coming back for more. I may or may not have gone out a little fast in the start, but I felt great. Took on cat and Harlem Hill like a champ. Ran past the 10K mark, and that's when my quads said HI in not so nice a tone. Ran / walked the second loop. The second Harlem was a walk for sure. Finished a little over my goal time as I was looking for 2 hrs flat, but it didn't happen. Maybe I'll hit it at the Brooklyn half in 3 weeks. Either way, I'm not going to stress about my time as I'm just happy to be out running and doing my thing! Thank you @nyrr for another awesome race. The @realsimplehalf did not disappoint. . . . . . . #halfmarathoner #sundayrunday #runnerscommunity #stilettorunning #keepittight #procompression #nuunambassador #shokzsquad #runhappy #oofos #goodr #garminfitness #runnersofinstagram #womenruntheworld #runrunrun #runner #happyrunner #runnershigh #runnyc #halfmarathon #womensrunningcommunity #inspiringwomenrunners #strongwomen #motherrunner

It had been a rough week battling a head cold and extreme fatigue. I told myself unless I have a fever, Iโm going to push through the @peticolas #VelvetHammer5k this morning. Why? Because I have participated in this race every single year since its start and today was finish number seven! I intend to keep participating as long as my body allows. ๐ Other than feeling a bit tired, I woke up ready to go! I took the race super easy and walked a lot of it. No reason to push too hard especially when the @runflyingpig 10k is just a week away. Always a super fun race at a great local brewery, hung out with some old and new friends after, came home, showered and took a nap. Great Saturday all around! Fueled by lots of @NuunHydration today.

Letโs hear it for all the women runners out there, grinding, putting in the work, showing up and running our hearts out ๐ฉท I am woman, watch me run ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ ๐ . I canโt imagine my life without running and feel so lucky that I get to do this ๐ฅน . Listening to my body today and passed up a speed workout (one that I love BTW, 10 x 400s). My left side, hip, knee, piriformis were all โtalking to meโ the last couple of miles during Sundayโs half marathon and still feeling a little wonky today. So I knew pushing the pace wouldnโt be smart, and opted for another short easy recovery run. Iโm sure all the bending and lifting boxes with packing havenโt helped ๐ .

Recovery run ๐๐ผ As much as I love the grind and the speed workouts, it always feels good after a race to have a recovery week ๐ The only goal on this run today, stay slow and keep heart rate low, mission accomplished โ๏ธ . My heart rate spiked to 190 during the last couple of miles at the end of Sundayโs race and it made me a little nervous ๐ฌ the highest my heart rate gets during full speed workouts is around 170. If you have been following me for a while, you might remember the week after I ran Boston in 2022, my heart was doing a weird flutter and I ended up seeing a cardiologist just to be safe. I had an EKG & an echocardiogram and it all checked out fine. The doctor said it was possibly a symptom from having Covid 10 weeks before the marathon ๐ So ever since then, I really pay attention to my heart rate because no race or run is worth my health โค๏ธโ๐ฉน . Do you pay attention to your heart rate? . I felt tired during todayโs run, to be expected after running a half 3 days ago, but overall it felt good to move my legs again and it was the perfect day for a run โ๏ธ .

It was a beautiful day to run half marathon # 49 ๐๐๐ปโโ๏ธ 4th AG . I had really wanted this to be a goal race after the NYC Half fiasco but after a zoom call with my coach @jordanhasay on Thursday we both agreed that with my life being so chaotic over the last 2 weeks with selling our house, buying a house, house inspections, packing, lack of sleep & stress, my goal today was to run a strong race ๐ช๐ผ . I started out feeling really good & settled into a 7:55-8:05 pace for the first half. I was thinking I could pick it up a bit for the 2nd half but around miles 8-9 my quads said nope ๐โโ๏ธ I tried to hold steady for the last 4 miles around 8:20 & just wanted under 1:49 so I could get another NYC qualifying time (I qualified for the NYC half ๐ but NYC marathon is changing their qualifying standards for 2025 & you will now need to qualify with a full marathon. They accepted half times previously) . Overall, it was a strong race, Iโm excited I have an NYC half qualifying time again if I choose to run again in March & I love banking solid runs for marathon base building ๐๐ผ . The next 2 months is going to be wild with my older sonโs college graduation, younger sonโs high school graduation & a big move ๐ตโ๐ซ . BUT half marathon # 50 will be in June before we move. Honestly no goal for that one, too warmโฆit will be a celebratory race as it was my first half 13 years ago. It was my first half & will be my last half living in CT, bittersweet ๐ฅน . Always great meeting up with friends at races, one of my fave things about running, this community is like no other ๐ซถ๐ผ & a big congrats to my friend @lucio_run_fitness on his PR today ๐ช๐ผ . Happy Sunday Runday! Congrats if you raced this weekend & a huge congrats to so many friends that ran @londonmarathon @randizuckerberg @rachelgevents @trackclubbabe @alioop_0_o_runs @goodrunning26.2 @gfitfishpaw @cynthiajwheeler . โก๏ธ๐ฉทโก๏ธ๐ฉทโก๏ธ๐ฉทโก๏ธ๐ฉทโก๏ธ๐ฉทโก๏ธ Race outfit: Good Things Come to Those Who Run Tank Boom Pow Run Shorts โก๏ธ๐ฉทโก๏ธ๐ฉทโก๏ธ๐ฉทโก๏ธ๐ฉทโก๏ธ๐ฉทโก๏ธ . . . #halfmarathon #halfmarathontraining #marathontraining #13point1 #sundayrunday #sundayrun #womenrunning #mastersrunner #fasterasamaster #runningapparel #runcoach #stilettorunning

Well it rained A LOT in Dallas today (super heavy, flooding and lightening) but I needed to get a long run in, that couldnโt wait till tomorrow. I had to finish an hour on the treadmill this afternoon, which is just mentally challenging for me. I get really bored, really fast. But I did it! I finished a short plank this morning and my 3rd Core workout for the week after the run. All in all a productive day! ๐ช๐ผ 1 week until Velvet Hammer 5k 2 weeks until Flying Pig with my AIM gals in Cincinnati *of course there is rain in the forecast for both ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธso ๐ค๐ผfor better weather the next two weeks! ๐ซถ๐ผ ๐๐๐ปโโ๏ธ #RunnerLife #HealthyVersion #WomenInRunning #EveryStepCounts #RunHappy #ICanDoHardThings #BecauseIGetTo #PushingMyLimits #FeelingBadass #GettingBackToIt #NuunAmbassador #TeamNuun #NuunLife #NuunLove #Muuvment #Muuving #NuunHydration #MyRaceTattsAmbassador #StilettoRunning #StilettoRunningAmbassador
Sugar Maple 5k today ๐- my goal was to get under 21:00, so I could Requalify for my running team. Iโve been injured on and off for over 2 years, so havenโt run a qualifying time. Despite the efforts of my amazing pacer and friend, Julie, I didnโt make it. I got 21:07, I was so close!!! Itโs so discouragingโฆ 3 years ago I was running 19โs, but Iโm not giving up, I know how to train better and Iโll try again in a few weeks! So thankful for @julie_mercado31 encouraging me the whole way!! ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ #stilettorunning #stilettorunningambassador #daytontrackclubelite #runner #runnergrl #dontgiveup
Happy early Earth day! Fact... for two days, my @garmin has said REST DAY! For 2 days, I ignored my watch and lifted, and I swam, and I moved. Saturday is long run day... usually And today, yet again, my watch said REST DAY! Well, it was raining pretty hard in the am when I usually ran, so today I listened, kind of, LOL. Headed out to meet the @massapequa_runners at the path we run for an early Earth day clean up and then a 3 mile walk because we'll, Garmin made me do it (walking badge) AND I'm a bad reat day kind of person. LONG RUN... tomorrow as I'm 2 weeks out from the @nyrr Real Simple half marathon. And happy to say the rain stopped as we were doing clean-up. No sun or rainbow while I was out. Just my socks...

Advantages of working from home some days, I can pop out for a quick mile run! In the morning, before meeting a best friend for coffee. I made a new friend and wore the best hat ever! #PartyPace Then I completed a plank personal record of 2:03, and finished a Core workout! Starting to get the itch to find a half marathon to run this year. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ซฃ 1ish week until Velvet Hammer 5k 2ish weeks until Flying Pig with my AIM gals in Cincinnati ๐๐๐ปโโ๏ธ #RunnerLife #HealthyVersion #WomenInRunning #EveryStepCounts #RunHappy #ICanDoHardThings #BecauseIGetTo #PushingMyLimits #FeelingBadass #GettingBackToIt #NuunAmbassador #TeamNuun #NuunLife #NuunLove #Muuvment #Muuving #NuunHydration #MyRaceTattsAmbassador #StilettoRunning #StilettoRunningAmbassador
Workout Wednesday and make it 800 repeats ๐ช๐ผ . I thought I was going to be exhausted on this workout because the last few days have been a whirlwind and my head is spinning ๐ตโ๐ซ Surprisingly I felt really good ๐๐ผ . Exciting news!!! ๐We bought a home in Boston this weekend!!! AND itโs on the marathon course! Is that apropos or what?! ๐๐๐ Even more of a fire is lit underneath me to get another BQ for 2026 so my family can cheer me on from our house ๐ฃ . Iโm gonna need running to keep me sane over the next 9 weeks to pack up our house, my older sonโs college graduation, my younger sonโs high school graduation, a double grad party and a big move ๐คฏ All amazing things but the sense of being overwhelmed is an understatement ๐คช . Iโm soooo excited and canโt wait to move back home ๐ .

Morning 10K and over 10,000 steps all before 7am! Yesterday it was still light out just before 8pm and this morning the red of the sun was peaking out from the horizon around 5:30am. Amd with 49ยฐ and little wind and was a perfect run morning! Tried to push just a touch this morning. not easy pace, but not crazy fast either. Just enough for the lungs to have to work a little harder. And it's definitely getting to that part of the year where I'll start carrying water or @nuunhydration with me on every run. Not there yet, but soon. Front porch for sure! Post run hydration is a MUST! . . . . . . . . . . #morningrun #halfmarathontraining #shokzsquad #runhappy #swimbikerun #earlymorningrun #trainingsession #stilettorunning #nuunambassador #nuunlife #nuunlove #rungirlrun #longrun #marathoner #ironmantraining #runforlife #runtherapy #getyourrunon #getoutofyourcomfortzone #momrunner #momswhorun #sweatequity #endorphins #runningcommunity #instarunning #igrunners #metime
๐๐ปโโ๏ธ rain, wind, mud, freezing weather, trail run? Yes!! @badluckrunners put on a feat to be conquered this weekend and @michellel8713 and @meanmil17 tackled it! Although we attempted the 25k, a twisted ankle and back spasms stopped us at 10k and I would say that we threw in the towel but we needed it to dry off in the pouring rain before getting in the car ๐ง๏ธ Fun was had, mud washes off, and memories are forever. #cvg #alteregorunning #stilettorunning #nathansports #hokarunning #procompression #trailrunning
