“Only” 12 miles today and I was thankful for a down week. It was scheduled for yesterday but a spring snow storm hit and so I swapped it around. I really did not feel like doing it but it turned out that it was one of those runs that doesn’t feel hard and you could go for miles and miles. Funny how it happens that way.
Dusting off my racing shoes with a nice little Sunday 10k with the hubs to wrap up week 4 of training! Pulled off a very respectable time for what was supposed to be a slow training run 🤦🏻♀️ best surprise was seeing @kelseym.chase at the end! Not a bad start to a Sunday morning 🩷 #oiselle #oisellevolée #motherrunner #motherrunners #thesemotherscanrun #runlikeamother #runlikeagirl #thefutureisfemale #inspiringwomenrunners #womensrunningcommunity #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #quietthenoise #outrunthedark #marathontraining #capecodmarathon
Drove 9 hours total to see the smile and hear the squeals of these kids playing on the beach for 24 hours 🤩 It seemed like a bit much but honestly, I wouldn’t have wanted to stay another day 😂. It was the perfect amount of time to go and completely empty every last charge of battery I had and make it back just in time to recharge before losing my mind 🔋 Spencer was out of town on business and Kristen mentioned she was taking the boys for a quick trip and I didn’t hesitate to invite myself! We both had an extra set of hands thanks to our moms for joining and the kids enjoyed playing! There was little sleep to be had but honestly not too many meltdowns. Kids are tired and so am I but no time for that… We’ve got to unpack and repack for phx in the morning! I had major FOMO of everyone running on the beach but ultimately just didn’t think it’d be fair to take time to go run when we were there for such a short time. I’ve also been feeling a little burnt out so while it was hard for me to take 3 days of rest, it was worth it. Ready for 10 miles in the morning!
Today we left Jamaica. I am sad, but all vaca eventually have to end. I am onto Florida for a bit, but before I get lost in the closets and cleaning solutions (still clearing out my mother’s place), I wanted to post this beauty 😀 Getting back to running tomorrow - so freaking excited! 😀💪🏻🏃♀️ . #fitnessaddict #momofboys #runner #womenrunning #fitmom #thesemotherscanrun #run #runnersofinstagram #runners #momswhorun #fitmom #runnermom #marathonrunner #motivation #strongnotskinny #trainingmotivation #ultrarunning #ultratraining #momof3 #inspiringwomenrunners #tailwindtrailblazer #xoskinambassador #orangemudambassador #motherrunner #travelingrunner #marathoner #runyourownrace #fitover40 #unfiltered

I just realized, I never posted about my most recent #50k I wasn’t really ready for it. Life has been hard with travel, sick kids, early morning work, not having time to do what I need to do. I had tons of reasons not to do it, and one big one TO DO IT - @newrivertrailraces truly is one of my favorites! It’s stunning, it’s well set up, volunteers are amazing, race organizers have thought of it all. And the views are like no other! I went out too fast. I ran fast the first 15 miles, I felt strong and fast. And then it got too hot and I didn’t wanna do it anymore lol but that is where those 4-5-6 hour long runs on the track, back to backs, and 4-5 hour treadmill runs come in handy - when I don’t wanna do it anymore, I dig deeper and keep going. Last 15 were a bear, but I enjoyed every minute of it. I sang with @taylorswift , I laughed with @dizruns and cried with the @storycorps I got to see @thefitnana and her husband, who at one point of my Navy career showed me that sailors are not just a number, but human beings who have lives. He truly was one of two people who very early on turned the Navy job into a career for me! 10th ultra in the books. Another 50k in August and a 48 hour race are in the plans for this year. I can’t wait to see how those shape out! 😀💪🏻🏃♀️ . . #fitnessaddict #momofboys #runner #womenrunning #fitmom #thesemotherscanrun #run #runnersofinstagram #runners #momswhorun #fitmom #runnermom #marathonrunner #motivation #strongnotskinny #trainingmotivation #ultrarunning #ultratraining #momof3 #inspiringwomenrunners #tailwindtrailblazer #xoskinambassador #orangemudambassador #motherrunner #travelingrunner #marathoner #runyourownrace #fitover40 #unfiltered

And that’s a wrap for week 3 of training! Lack of sleep and yesterday’s cheer competition pushed today’s long run to today but I am thankful for the sunshine and peace and quiet that came with it! As the miles get longer I can feel the anxiety start to bubble under the surface hoping by the time we reach double digits Lily will be sleeping better because even those shorter distances have been tough on little sleep…so here’s hoping…either way coffee is my friend and forward is a pace🩷 #oiselle #oisellevolèe #oisellevoléenh #motherrunner #motherrunners #thesemotherscanrun #runlikeamother #runlikeagirl #thefutureisfemale #inspiringwomenrunners #womensrunningcommunity #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #quietthenoise #outrunthedark #marathontraining #capecodmarathon
16 snowy miles ❄️ I felt pretty good the whole time, even during my race pace miles. I’m looking forward to a down week next week before the mileage goes up again 🤪

Cs get degrees and Positive Splits get medals 👏🏼🤣 . I had so much fun out there, I don't think I stopped smiling throughout. So thankful for this experience. Officially a Boston Marathoner 💙💛🦄 More to come {maybe 😂} . Officially have to change my handle if anyone has an idea.

15 miles in the marathon training bank. We are 6 weeks away from @runrevel #revelrockies 😬 I’m feeling less than confident going into my 4th marathon. Thats normal, right? 🫠

Just one nice family picture, she begged 🙏🏼 After the expo yesterday ONE kid got cash for cooperating 😂 Can anyone guess which one? . Being that this was my first Boston I dragged them back to the expo today for a do-over 🫣 The line to get in today was way longer and we told them that we'd keep doing this over and over if they didn't cooperate 😅😂💙💛 . #bostonmarathon #bostonmarathon2024 #chasingboston #motherrunner #thesemotherscanrun
I said I wasn’t going to do a recap, but can I really not? ✨ Mile 1: So hard. Uphill. High elevation. Weaving. Heaving. Side stitch. Not paying attention to watch just trying to find my frozen legs and feet. 8:14 pace. ✨Mile 2-12: climbed a few hills. Found a groove. Chatted with a people. Focused on running 5/10 on perceived effort. Reminded myself not to trust “feeling good” because in a marathon it’s always subject to change real quick. Ran between 7:48-7:27 pace. ✨Mile 13-18: put my headphones in and just tried to tick off the miles. My foot hurt on and off. There was a cross headwind that made it feel hard. Perceived effort climbed closer to 7/10. I didn’t feel great but mentally I was ready to fight. I remember being really excited to hit 18 miles but not sure why- I still had 8 to go! 7:39-7:26 pace. ✨Mile 19-23: elevation evened out, I had the wind to my back. My legs were shot by this point and I felt a little like a baby dear trying to walk for the first time but I kept going. By this point I was looking forward to every gel, needing its energy. It was time to start asking, “do I have more to give?”7:31-7:29 pace. ✨Mile 24-26: big hill. Excited to use different muscles but also very tired. 7:52. By this point, I could really let up and still BQ and be happy with my finish time. BUT I did some quick math and realized I might be able to squeak by with a sub 3:20 if I just dig a little deeper. 7:39, 7:18. ✨ .2 to go and I gave it every last thing I had- 6:23 pace and crossed in 3:19:30 and a negative split. “Don’t ask me how I did It I just did it it was hard” 🤪
Week 2 of training in the books! I had forgotten how much I love those early morning miles out on the roads! My best self care for sure! Def put me in a better headspace for a weekend away with the girls for Bella’s cheerleading competition!

Ok, tomorrow is the day!!! Very excited! I am coming in around 1400 calories. I prolly won’t need it, but it’s good to have it.

How do you feel about taper week/s? Back to work tomorrow. Breakfast, snack, and lunch. Taper is going great. Still not getting any extra sleep, cuz my Bean does not believe is sleeping past 6, but that’s ok. Got my jar salad: tofu, mozzarella, peppers, Kalamata olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, salad - can’t wait to have it tomorrow.

We finished the last leg, the 15k, of the Louisville Triple Crown of Running. We did way better than last year, but didn’t quite hit or time goal for this year. I tuckered out the last 5k…need to work on my endurance. I had @genucan gels with me today…and I could tell that helped for sure! Proud of us mommas, who both have 4 kids, and hope we can keep the tradition going!

Mornings like this make getting up early and heading out into the cold totally worth it. The sunrise this morning was stunning, the lake was like glass, and the reflection on the water was so good. 10 sunrise miles felt so good this morning.
Owyhee off-road challenge. Love this race! It's basically 3 miles up and 3 miles down. Through the dirt and sand and so much fun. We lucked out big time this year when it stopped raining right when we got there. I cut almost 3 minutes off my previous time! Super happy to see improvement. Still got 3rd overall though 😉 . . . . . #itsarunderfullife #runlikeamother #runlikeagirl #runningmom #motherrunner #momswhorun #womenrunning #bamr #runnersonig #run #runnersofig #runnerscommunity #runnershigh #runhappy #marathonmama #thesemotherscanrun #momsrunthistown #run208 #idahorunner
I had a buddy today 🥰. I haven’t run with her in while and we chatted the whole time looking for deer and foxes. We saw many birds, one caterpillar, two squirrels and some fish. A lot of stroller runs I start out a little grumbly because I’m slower, I don’t get my pick of music, etc but I’ve never ever finished one and the same grumbly mood. They will always be my favorite kind of run. 🥹❤️
I didn’t have time to get my 10 miler in this weekend (was cleaning the house so we can get it listed/basketball tournament) so had to knock it out after school today. Long runs after school sure are harder. I had Oke tag along for this one. The weather was great with the exception of the wild wind. Felt good except for the last 2.5 miles. Legs were tired and knees were sore. Took a huma gel before and a ucan gel halfway through. Hopefully the weather will be just as nice Saturday for the 15k. Happy Monday everyone! splits: 9:57, 9:37, 9:23, 9:28, 9:58, 9:31, 10:07, 10:04, 10:04, 10:31 #louisvilletriplecrowntraining #kyderbyminitraining #strava #ucanenergy #10miler #LTCOR #thesemommasrun #runnersofinsta #womenrunning #kyrunner #inspiringwomenrunners #womensrunningcommunity #runnerscommunity #momswhorun #irunthisbody #mileschallengeyou #thesemotherscanrun #runnerforlife #onpointkennel #runhappy #teacherrunner #weekdaylongrun #stravaworkout #gsprunning #mommarunner #thismommaruns #nuunlife #sauconyride15 #spibeltambassador
Vacation miles just hit different. 5.5 miles to kick off vacation with the perfect running conditions. And I’m always so thankful when Eric runs with me. ❤️ Now we are off to enjoy the pool and ocean.
✔️ 2nd leg of the Louisville Triple Crown of Running ✔️ finished in under an hour ✔️no pain today I’m extra thankful for my running BFF who pushed our pace today.

Growing up I had the awesome opportunity of watching my dad support my mom through her running career. I had no idea then that was she was doing was not the “norm.” I had no idea that the first women’s marathon at the Olympics wasn’t until after I was born. I did know she could do whatever she put her mind to and my dad supported her 100%. I grew up with my dad loading us in the car and following her on workouts when the weather was bad, taking us to local races to cheer, and carting us around as toddlers at the Marine Corps Marathon. I’m glad that my parents didn’t just have to tell me girls could do anything, they showed me. Fast forward to adulthood and when I presented the idea of running the 3 US Majors last year to my husband, his first response was “Yes. Absolutely. Do it.” Saying yes to that goal meant saying no to other things, and I’m really glad my kids got to be part of the process and get a front row seat to how supportive their dad is. Sometimes running is about way more than just running ❤️ 📸 On the left is my mom after winning the @columbus10k in 1985 🏆🏆
6k lunch run ✅ Been feeling a bit down this week so was looking forward to an escape. Mom’s doctor told me on Monday that she is entering the later stages of dementia. Even though I knew this over the last few months it was still difficult to hear and face this reality. I am not sure if I have the strength for when she can’t communicate or know who I am but I will have to find that strength somehow. 🙏🏻 : Running and exercise is a time when my mind is free from worry and has become my daily me time as selfish as that may sound. Hope it helps some of you in the same way if you are going through some things. 🙏🏻 Thanks for listening and have a great rest of the week. ❤️ : ; #run #runnersofinstagram #igrunners #canadianrunner #motherrunner #fitmoms #runningmom #womenrunning #runnergirl #iloverunning #canadianrunning #thisis48 #runningover40 #runnerslife #runforfun #nikerunning #runtastic #runtoinspire #runlikeagirl #trailrunner #trails #optoutside #thesemotherscanrun #laufen #canadianrunning #runnersworld #runchat #fitover40 #runrunrun #runningistherapy

8 miles to kick off our Sunday morning. I was a little unsure going into this run bc I only got one run in this week…and I still feel like a weak runner with all the AT issues. I also FORGOT my dang watch! We tackled the biggest hill in the 1st mile to get it out of the way. I also cut my normal running shoes to help my AT and that helped. I’m so happy with this run and hope this training cycle keeps progressing! Splits: 10:13, 9:52, 9:32, 9:22, 9:27, 9:44, 9:39, 9:45 I ran with strava since no watch and it had us at 8.24 which was way too long. 8 miles @ 1:17:34 #louisvilletriplecrowntraining #kyderbyminitraining #strava #mommarunning #8miler #LTCOR #thesemommasrun #runnersofinsta #womenrunning #kyrunner #inspiringwomenrunners #womensrunningcommunity #runnerscommunity #momswhorun #irunthisbody #mileschallengeyou #thesemotherscanrun #runnerforlife #runstrong #runhappy #teacherrunner #weekendlongrun #stravaworkout #friendsruntogether #mommarunner #thismommaruns #nuunlife #sauconyride15 #spibeltambassador

All races can’t go great, but @run_the_alamo is still one of my one of my absolute favorite races! I didn’t do as well as I wanted, but I also didn’t expect to considering my lack of training. My legs felt heavy the entire race, I didn’t start my watch until mile 1 🤦🏻♀️, my Spring Energy wouldn’t open and ended up exploding all over my hands, and my hip started bothering me starting at mile 7. I tried to stay with the 1:50 pace team, but just couldn’t hang once my hip started to flare up. Not sure if it’s an IT band issue, or something else. Either way, running this race made me realize I need to stay consistent with my mileage if I want to build more endurance. The crowd support was great, there were water stations all around, and it was great seeing runners around all the various different turns. Even though the weather is getting hotter, going to make it a commitment to put in the mileage because results don’t just happen by wishing! Onward and upward. Thanks @run_the_alamo for a fun race! See you next year!
Today was the start of the @triplecrownrun with the LTCOR 5k! I’ve only ran 3 times in the past month…,so expectations were low. The hubs decided to run with us today and thankful for him and his commentary along the way. Our goal was to be under 30 mins and finished at 28:31. I’ll take it!

Shorts weather coming in hot! Easy 4 “Training is doing your homework. It’s not exciting. More often than not it’s tedious. There is certainly no glory in it. But you stick with it, over time, incrementally through no specific session, your body changes.

Affirmations are designed to encourage an optimistic mindset. They can help you overcome self sabotaging, negative thoughts patterns. Repeat often and believe in them and you will become them! Positive affirmations help you to believe in yourself and what you are capable of achieving. Examples: 💚I am a great mom 💚I can run a Boston qualifying marathon time 💚I am a great wife 💚I have what it takes to be successful in business 💚I am perfect just as I am 💚I am worthy of love and respect 💚I am mentally strong 💚I am in control of my emotions 💚I am capable of running the paces prescribed by my coach …. Etc. I truly believe the people who immediately think this is bogus or don’t believe in it or think it’s for the “weak” are the ones who need it most 😜😉 If you are open minded enough to try this, then you’re on your way!! Leave your affirmation of the day below if you’re feeling courageous!

#sundaymotivation - This one speaks to me in so many ways... For years I’ve been working on my response to stress, anger, pain, disappointment and frustration. These things are unleashed on us on a near-weekly basis in life, aren’t they? They’re also a constant flow during hard training, injury, and even when just attempting to continue to run long term. 🗝But, there’s one truly consistent, universal thing we can do here - control our response. Decide how we want to act. You either allow those feelings to take over and immobilize you, or you choose to move forward. When that pot boils, we can let it turn us to mush or become stronger. Also, becoming stronger is what OUR version of that means. That could be becoming more vulnerable, allowing things to be more flexible, etc. ✨So my coach moment for this week is - think hard about what you want your response to successes and failures to be and craft a world where you’re proud of how you moved through. ⬇️Tell me about some times you used your circumstances to help catapult you to the next level... #motherrunner #runningismytherapy #runyourselfhappy #runninggirl #runninglifestyle #runforlife #runforfun #momlife #runningwoman #runningmom #runwild #runningmotivation #runningcommunity #runningmama #runforyourself #runspo #runmamarun #runtherapy #runlife #runtoinspire #thesemotherscanrun #momrunner #womenrunners #runningmotivation #runspiration #runningquotes #rungoals #weekendrunning #strongerthanyesterday
After Bella it was Chicago…now after Lily it’s going to be @capecodmarathon! After weeks of debating whether or not I can pull this off with a new baby and a 6 year old and your husband looks at you and says “you’re doing this!” It’s going to be fun!” With Bella I was inspired to sign up for Chicago after watching @shalaneflanagan win the NYC marathon and this year it was watching @stephrothstein run the marathon trials 4.5 months after having her daughter! So here we go again! Marathon #3 this October baby! LFG! #oiselle #oisellevolée #oisellevoléenh #motherrunner #motherrunners #thesemotherscanrun #runlikeamother #runlikeagirl #thefutureisfemale #inspiringfemalerunners #womensrunningcommunity #marathontraining #capecodmarathon #fasterasamaster
Sharing is carrying. If you knew about these two tools, how come you never shared about them??? 😝 Man, a roller that vibrates and massages???? A hot/cold pack that travels? Y’all, this is freaking amazing! I am gonna be getting those pronto! How is your hump day going? I did 47 mins and 30 mins strength today, as well as a leisurely walk. Well spent day on a work trip 😀💪🏃♀️ . #fitnessaddict #momofboys #runner #womenrunning #fitmom #thesemotherscanrun #run #runnersofinstagram #runners #momswhorun #fitmom #runnermom #marathonrunner #motivation #strongnotskinny #trainingmotivation #ultrarunning #ultratraining #momof3 #inspiringwomenrunners #tailwindtrailblazer #xoskinambassador #orangemudambassador #motherrunner #travelingrunner #marathoner #runyourownrace #fitover40 #unfiltered
I go many days without seeing sunrise and/or sunset. So today, when I had to go to a meeting, where I didn’t have to look like a human being, I decided to run to and from it, and I got a chance to see a stunner of a sunrise! Win/win in my book 😀💪🏃♀️ Schedule called for 60-75 mins. 7.2 miles in about 65 mins complete 😀💪🏃♀️ . #fitnessaddict #momofboys #runner #womenrunning #fitmom #thesemotherscanrun #run #runnersofinstagram #runners #momswhorun #fitmom #runnermom #marathonrunner #motivation #strongnotskinny #trainingmotivation #ultrarunning #ultratraining #momof3 #inspiringwomenrunners #tailwindtrailblazer #xoskinambassador #orangemudambassador #motherrunner #travelingrunner #marathoner #runyourownrace #fitover40 #unfiltered
Yesterday’s long run started off just fine…but didn’t end that way. I should have known not to run two days in a row with Achilles pain…and it put me in my place. When we hit the hills about half way through our run the pain started. I stopped to stretch a few times and we called it a day at 7 miles. I walked the half mile back to our cars in my socks. No pain barefoot, less pain running on flat roads, pain when walking and hills….calling PT tomorrow to see what’s up.

Last half marathon for these babies 😭 these socks have seen lots of years, miles, and races. They have gone thru blood, sweat, and tears. And today I have ran in them for the last time. 4+ years, not too shabby 😀 Thank you @xoskinusa for a great product! 😀💪🏃♀️ Same timeframe as last Sunday, but today I have gone faster and have gotten more mileage. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast 😀💪🏃♀️ . #fitnessaddict #momofboys #runner #womenrunning #fitmom #thesemotherscanrun #run #runnersofinstagram #runners #momswhorun #fitmom #runnermom #marathonrunner #motivation #strongnotskinny #trainingmotivation #ultrarunning #ultratraining #momof3 #inspiringwomenrunners #tailwindtrailblazer #xoskinambassador #orangemudambassador #motherrunner #travelingrunner #marathoner #runyourownrace #fitover40 #unfiltered
It’s always a good morning when we can get out for a run. Today nature put on a show for us, everything was coated in a thick frost. So beautiful! 5.5 miles
Today’s run is brought to you by Olympic marathon trials day!!! @stephrothstein @keiradamato and @em_sisson_ LFGoooooooo!! Cannot wait to watch these strong AF ladies toe the line! And Steph Bruce after just having a baby…unbelievable! Her real and raw accounts of her postpartum journey helped me stay motivated during my own these past 5 months! Watch out Paris here they come!! Heartbroken for @bygolly.molly and wishing her a speedy recovery! Being in the same race as her over a year ago was a dream come true! Such a down to earth amazing person💜 #oiselle #oisellevolée #oisellevoléenh #motherrunner #motherrunners #runlikeamother #thesemotherscanrun #runlikeagirl #thefutureisfemale #inspiringwomenrunners #womensrunningcommunity #marathonrunner #peloton #robynswolfpack #instarunners #runnersofinstagram
Hello sun! The weather was beyond perfect today. I tried out a new afterschool route and logged 5 miles. No Achilles pain during my run but as soon. As I stopped…bam! I immediately changed my shoes and that helped. Keeping the shoes off the rest of the night. Today’s run had more hills than normal and I sure felt it. Tomorrow we have a basketball game and then I’ll get my long run in. #louisvilletriplecrowntraining #kyderbyminitraining #strava #mommarunning #applewatch #applerunning #thesemommasrun #runnersofinsta #womenrunning #kyrunner #inspiringwomenrunners #womensrunningcommunity #runnerscommunity #momswhorun #irunthisbody #mileschallengeyou #thesemotherscanrun #runnerforlife #runstrong #runhappy #teacherrunner #fivemilerun #stravaworkout #spibeltambassador #mommarunner #thismommaruns #runningmomma #oncloudrunning #nuunlife
Not a bad month, considering that I was recovering from COVID for the first part of it 😀🏃♀️💪 I will be building mileage in order to prep for the @newrivertrailraces 50k in April. What’s your nearest race coming up? Are you excited? 😀🏃♀️💪 . #fitnessaddict #momofboys #runner #womenrunning #fitmom #thesemotherscanrun #run #runnersofinstagram #runners #momswhorun #fitmom #runnermom #marathonrunner #motivation #strongnotskinny #trainingmotivation #ultrarunning #ultratraining #momof3 #inspiringwomenrunners #tailwindtrailblazer #xoskinambassador #orangemudambassador #motherrunner #travelingrunner #marathoner #runyourownrace #fitover40 #unfiltered
I started my running week on Tuesday with an hour of running and 25 mins of strength. Wednesday was one hour with strides - my favorite run of the week. Today, not even 12 hours later, I did easy 1 hour. And stretching and rolling. Feeling tired and sore, but happy and accomplished. Small victories - I have learned to celebrate small victories 😀💪🏃♀️ . #fitnessaddict #momofboys #runner #womenrunning #fitmom #thesemotherscanrun #run #runnersofinstagram #runners #momswhorun #fitmom #runnermom #marathonrunner #motivation #strongnotskinny #trainingmotivation #ultrarunning #ultratraining #momof3 #inspiringwomenrunners #tailwindtrailblazer #xoskinambassador #orangemudambassador #motherrunner #travelingrunner #marathoner #runyourownrace #fitover40 #unfiltered
Do you ever have a run when you just aren’t feeling it? Today was that day for me. This run felt harder than the 7 mile run I did on Sunday. My legs are still sore and Achilles not quite 100% yet. Slow and steady will be the pace for this week and I will hopefully stay injury free.

12km 🏃♀️ tonight after work to wrap up January running. Tomorrow I celebrate the end of the longest month 😆 and my Caeleb’s 12th birthday! He’s so smart and independent but he will always be my sweet little boy even though he can pick me up now. 😆💪🏻 Our texts make me laugh as they are either about food or saying I love you. 😂❤️ Hope all your bday wishes come true Caeleb! 😘🥰🎂🎉 : I’m feeling pretty proud of myself this month. Usually I get the January blues pretty bad but I forced myself to do more things to chase that seasonal stuff away. Working out always helps but I think getting out to the gym a few days a week made a big difference for me. Getting back to some longer runs helped too. And as always thanks for all your encouragement. I appreciate it so much and let’s have an awesome Feb! 👊🏻💪🏻🥰❤️ : ; #run #runnersofinstagram #igrunners #canadianrunner #motherrunner #fitlife #runningmom #womenrunning #runnergirl #iloverunning #canadianrunning #thisis48 #runningover40 #runnerslife #runforfun #nikerunning #runtastic #runtoinspire #runlikeagirl #trailrunner #trails #optoutside #explorenb #thesemotherscanrun #laufen #canadianrunning #runnersworld #runchat #fitover40 #runrunrun #runningistherapy
Wait, doesn’t everyone leave their house with 4+ bottles and cups for various things they are drinking at that moment? 😂 I have tons of bottles and cups and glasses 😜 I have covered coffee mugs, yet somehow I still like the uncovered ones that spill coffee everywhere with every bump I take 😆 What’s your normal haul for a day out? 😀💪🏃♀️ . #fitnessaddict #momofboys #runner #womenrunning #fitmom #thesemotherscanrun #run #runnersofinstagram #runners #momswhorun #fitmom #runnermom #marathonrunner #motivation #strongnotskinny #trainingmotivation #ultrarunning #ultratraining #momof3 #inspiringwomenrunners #tailwindtrailblazer #xoskinambassador #orangemudambassador #motherrunner #travelingrunner #marathoner #runyourownrace #fitover40 #unfiltered
#nevermissamonday is now a #restday Monday 😀 The schedule was shifted to accommodate home and travel needs, so I shifted my training day and hashtags 😂 Happy to report that I have ran almost 23 miles in three days and I feel like I could go again today! 💪 but I won’t 😜 Gains are made as much during training as during resting 😀💪🏃♀️ . #fitnessaddict #momofboys #runner #womenrunning #fitmom #thesemotherscanrun #run #runnersofinstagram #runners #momswhorun #fitmom #runnermom #marathonrunner #motivation #strongnotskinny #trainingmotivation #ultrarunning #ultratraining #momof3 #inspiringwomenrunners #tailwindtrailblazer #xoskinambassador #orangemudambassador #motherrunner #travelingrunner #marathoner #runyourownrace #fitover40 #unfiltered
11 miles long with my sister! Finally a warm and sunny day here in Colorado. ☀️
Today I ran a long run with my mother in mind. She was counting days until she retired and all she wanted to do was live the rest of her life in her beach-side apartment. She missed that day by 800 something days… she would have turned 65 today and would have retired and would have been living on the beach… Life is a precious gift. She lived it to the fullest. She organised this trip for her bday, most likely, knowing that it would be her last. I am glad I was able to go. Don’t take life for granted. Love your family, if you have a good one. Tell them to eff off, if they keep dragging you down. Enjoy the days you have, because no one is promised anything, when it comes to living 🙏 . #fitnessaddict #momofboys #runner #womenrunning #fitmom #thesemotherscanrun #run #runnersofinstagram #runners #momswhorun #fitmom #runnermom #marathonrunner #motivation #strongnotskinny #trainingmotivation #ultrarunning #ultratraining #momof3 #inspiringwomenrunners #tailwindtrailblazer #xoskinambassador #orangemudambassador #motherrunner #travelingrunner #marathoner #runyourownrace #loveyourbody #fitover40 #unfiltered
“One run can change your day…many runs can change your life” self care looks different for every person…but a good run and a coffee is what it looks like for me these days 💜 #oiselle #oisellevolée #oisellevoléenh #motherrunner #motherrunners #thesemotherscanrun #runlikeamother #runlikeagirl #thefutureisfemale #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #peloton #robynswolfpack
I was able to get some sleep last night, then get a run in AND got a sauna nap as well 😂 I actually fell asleep and snored in the sauna 😂 Long run tomorrow and I am super duper excited 😀💪🏃♀️ Whatcha got planned this weekend? . #fitnessaddict #momofboys #runner #womenrunning #fitmom #thesemotherscanrun #run #runnersofinstagram #runners #momswhorun #fitmom #runnermom #marathonrunner #motivation #strongnotskinny #trainingmotivation #ultrarunning #ultratraining #momof3 #inspiringwomenrunners #tailwindtrailblazer #xoskinambassador #orangemudambassador #motherrunner #travelingrunner #marathoner #runyourownrace #loveyourbody #fitover40 #unfiltered
My Achilles tendon has made my life miserable this week. Tuesday I was limping around and really thought I did something bad wrong. I’ve been stretching and icing. Yesterday I woke up 90% pain free but still took the day off. I played it safe today and did 3x1 miles taking a 3 min break between. Nice and easy. Slight discomfort but no pain. It mainly feels like I have a bruise on my AT but only when my shoes are on…weird. Tomorrow’s plan is 5 outside as long as there’s no pain. 9:19, 9:19, 9:22 ( turned up speed so not sure why this mile wasn’t faster 🤷♀️) #louisvilletriplecrowntraining #kyderbyminitraining #strava #mommarunning #applewatch #applerunning #nuunambassador #runnersofinsta #womenrunning #kyrunner #inspiringwomenrunners #womensrunningcommunity #runnerscommunity #momswhorun #irunthisbody #mileschallengeyou #thesemotherscanrun #runnerforlife #runstrong #runhappy #teacherrunner #threemilerun #spibeltambassador #treadmillrunning #mommarunner #thismommaruns #runningmomma #oncloudrunning #oncloud
