Monday morning mile ✔️
Shuttlecock 🏸 (insert childish giggle here) 🤭
“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.

Warmup before, smiling after. And then Lucy Girl 🐶 just because. 4-minute intervals today, which felt pretty good. The amount of @kttape on my legs simply to keep my knees from hyperextending and my right fibula from subluxing is absolutely ridiculous. Just over here feeling super blessed for having a connective tissue disease. 🙌🏻 AND I forgot to wear the brace I have for my SI joint, so I’ll be on a heating pad for the rest of the night. Plus all the CBD balm. Did my breathing exercises on the spirometer (because yes, I have to relearn how to breathe properly). Oh, and I’m back wearing a Holter monitor for a few days to keep an eye on my POTS symptoms. 🙂↔️ Yes, I will be celebrating my 87th birthday soon, thank you for asking. 👵🏻 From college basketball player/marathoner to a predominantly walker running intervals, having to sit while showering because POTS, taping/bracing/wearing compression on all of my body because of connective tissue disease, and having to LEARN to breathe correctly, y’all this is some shit. Oh and those pesky pneumothoraces in my lungs/lung surgery. Throw in the steroids I can’t stop taking without losing the ability to eat, it’s a party over here! 🥳 #longcovid #pots #eds #lymphocyticcollitis #myalgicencephalomyelitis

🌿🏃♀️ This weekend was something for the books! I’ve been slowly returning to running and conquered my first double-digit run since early December - pain free! It felt like a true milestone on my journey back to running, reminding me of the joy and freedom each mile brings. Volunteering at Aravaipa Running’s Dam Good race added an extra layer of inspiration, surrounded by the running community and the beauty of nature. Here’s to more milestones, more trails, and more unforgettable moments on this running journey! 💕

So, funny story (although, not so much for Jamie) the Cherry Blossom race is a lottery selection and Jamie was selected and I was not. I actually WANTED to run it and my wonderful husband was not as enthralled. I decided to come down and just run randomly around the city while he actually ran the race! It was quite nice!🌸 (Currently awaiting Jamie at our designated meeting spot near the finish! ) #longrunsunday . . . @goodr @skidagram @nathansportsinc @senita @hoka @garminrunning

Long long-ish ✅ How I’m feeling now heading into Jersey City versus how I felt going into Chicago is a whole world different. I’ve had the best team in my corner over the past few months to get me to the starting line next weekend. I’m so grateful to Eve at @nutriworksinc for helping with my training and race-day nutrition. I’m feeling more healthy and prepared than I ever have for a race. I’m also indebted to Tim at @runrelated for changing up my training to reflect more of where I feel I’m at. I’ve run more miles than I ever have and seen the results. The hay is in the barn and I’m ready to light it all on fire in 8 days. See you soon, @thejerseycitymarathon 🤟🏼 I’m excited to take another crack at 2:5x.

Friday long run ✅ 16 miles with some fast miles in the middle. 🫠 It was hard but I finished and now I’m dreaming about dinner 🍔 🍟 🍺
Despite my best efforts to clean up my feed, I’m currently being inundated with before and after photos, often featuring summer advertising with skimpy bikinis and the message: your body isn’t acceptable the way it is. Before and after photos aren’t neutral. They create an intentional contrast that says: one of these things is desirable and one of these things is not. Because we can’t assess someone’s health by viewing their body (looking fit and BEING fit are not the same), the comparison is an inherently shallow one, focused predominately on the goal of leanness . When someone looks at a before and after they are lead by the format to the faulty conclusion that smaller = preferable, possible, better, something to celebrate. There aren’t really two narratives here. The story is clear. And that story is majorly flawed. A photo of a body doesn’t give me health data. It doesn’t tell me about if someone has satisfying relationships, about their mental health, about their relationship with food and exercise. It tells me very little about hard work. Moreover, a lot of the before and after images we see online actually do represent extremely disordered practices such as dramatic calorie restriction or even steroid or other PED use. This is especially true for platforms that are selling products or fitness plans, who target their clients for financial benefit and who often are participating in sharing misinformation about body size and its relationship to health. Additionally, in the data on diets and weight lost, we know that most people who lose weight in these unsustainable practices regain weight (and often more). It’s also important to recognize that posting such an image online is inherently a social performance. If it wasn’t about external validation (or “inspiration,” whatever that means), it wouldn’t get posted. I think it’s important to evaluate what we are selling or reinforcing to others. Again, before and afters reinforce the idea that a smaller body is a victory of some kind and feel like a dangerous road. Eating disorders are deadly diseases, and social media absolutely contributes to disordered relationships with food and body image. More 👇

✌🏼 weeks ‘til Boston! 🥲 I set my eyes on the @bostonmarathon when I crossed my first ever finish line at @ibxrun10 in 1:29 (8:53/mile) in 2011. I was FAR from athletic growing up so the mere accomplishment of running 10 miles at a reasonably good clip got me feeling like I could do just about anything… This was long before I knew it’d take me 13 years to make this dream a reality… long before I knew what I actually needed to do in order to qualify for Boston (LOL)… long before I knew it’d take me 9 years to even get to the start of a marathon healthy… long before I learned that I can’t control all the little voices in my head when things get hard, but I do get to choose which ones I listen to… It’s been a really long, wild ride to this moment, and I can’t wait to finally celebrate the journey 🦄 See you in Boston! 💙💛 📸: @mattcooksb 📍: Antelope Island, UT #womensupportingwomen #womenrunningcommunity #fastwithasideoffun #runningcommunity #runningmotivation #runningismytherapy #womenwhorun #femalerunners #optoutside #trailrunning #runnersofinstagram #womenofrunning #womenwhoexplore #runarete #areteremote #antelopeisland #slc #bostonmarathon #bq

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. 🥹❤️

It's been said that the tempo run is the single most important workout you can do to improve your speed for any race distance - and especially for the full and half marathon. 🌟Why? Because it trains you to sustain speed over distance. The more you can do that, the more your body (and mind) are equipped for quality racing. The longer our distance, the longer tempo sessions we should work our way into - it's the only way your body can truly get used to a prolonged hard effort, which you're looking to do in a race. If you can't do it in practice, you can't fully expect it at the main event. Tempo runs are uncomfortable. There's no sugar coating that. But, if your goal is to race or even if you've hit a plateau and are looking for some mega improvements, you must do these runs. Programmed in with your zone 2 work and speed training, you'll see a difference in your running - I promise! How do you feel about tempo work? Dread it, love it? Do you include it in your training? How often and for how long? #halfmarathoner #igrunners #ultrarunning #runnerslife #womenrunners #marathoner #recoveryrun #justkeeprunning #runningisfun #runningmama #runtogether #wearetherunners #womenofrunning #runnerlife #runallthemiles #5krunner #loverunning #inspiringwomenrunners #runnerscommunity #rwrunstreak #runnersofinstagram #runningismytherapy #runnergirl #trailrunners #ultralife #ihavearunnersbody #igrunner #momswhorun #newrunner

Yesterday's SUNSHINE on repeat 🌞 Because the cold is back today and the snow is coming tomorrow... I'll believe it when I see it. We haven't gotten more than an inch of snow at a time this winter... although I have an 8hr drive to Iowa on Friday, coming back on Monday, so I do believe the snow forecast on both of those days is correct. We get a blizzard anytime I need to drive somewhere 🤪 I had a rare run in full sun yesterday morning, but only because I was in at the office at 5am. I rode in with Trent and said I would run home when I was done 😆 two birds with on stone 🙌 As always, the Gylcerin is my go-to running shoe AND everyday shoe. I have pairs for running and pairs for walking. Their comfort is unmatchable for me 🤩 These are the #Glycerin21 🔥

It’s important to embrace the full complexity of who you are in a world that wants to limit you. People want shortcuts, cognitive schema, to put people and things in neat categories. Labels. Lanes. This is even worse on the internet, where there is pressure to create a “brand identity” and stay consistent with a message if you want to gain an audience. Systemically, these shortcuts serve as a way to keep people out. They don’t “look” like runner, so they can’t be one. They don’t see people who mirror themselves in a space, so it feels like one they shouldn’t access. Individually, if you overly identify with only a small part of who you are… what happens if that part no longer fits? Or if it hurts? Or is bad for you? Can you pivot? Labels keep people in, especially in endurance sports, where overtraining or disordered exercise patterns can be all too common. I’ve been injured since December 22, 2023. In the time since, I’ve covered less than 30 running miles (limping), a drastic shift from my previous weekly totals. Luckily, I’m not a brand or exclusively a runner (though I still am one!). What would you do if you lost that big of a piece of yourself? Do you have the resources needed to shift? To cope? To self-soothe without the “therapy” of running? How do the pieces of yourself fit together? If you’re a runner and… what comes after the and? #trailrunning #ultrarunning #marathontraining #utahrunning #womenrunners #womenofrunning #marathon #running #explore #optoutside #fitness #fitnessmotivation #wowsatch #runningmotivation #runninginspo #utahrunner #injuredrunner #isthishowtriathletesgetstarted #ohno #brokenanklerecovery

Running. It’s deceptively simple but extraordinarily profound. And almost impossible to exaggerate how deep and interesting and transformative such a simple practice can become. Even more so when you can start to pay close attention to your experiences whether you’re on the trail or on the road or on the track. Left foot. Right foot. Breathe. Look up. Take in the view. Repeat. 📸: @codystephens.ginger
