Super excited about lane 1 being plowed🤩🙌🏼 Felt like I won the lottery when I saw that! 5 miles of work today at the track that left me huffing and puffing but my VO2 max went up sooooo 💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️ There were 2 other ladies doing workouts when I was here and both looking really strong. One left when I was about halfway done with my workout and the other was there until I was on my cool down. We jogged by each other and I said, “Nice running, you look really strong!” - they both did! She smiled and gave a compliment back but supporting and lifting each other up feels so good and warms my heart. Truly out here working my tail off while supporting other women and men sets my soul on fire🔥 It was fun to see the track covered in snow and I’m excited for some easy miles tomorrow. #StrongestSelf #womensupportingwomen

If you would’ve told me 5 years ago when I was 20 lb heavier that I’d one day be a 3:41 marathoner chasing Boston🦄, sub-3, and even faster🏅, I would’ve said, “Yup!!! You’re right!!👍🏼”✨💫💥 •I would NOT have told you that you were crazy and I surely would not have laughed in your face• Since completing my first race in 2013 in memory of my brother, Robert, I’ve been hungry - heck, STARVING😛 - for more. More miles, faster paces, more hills⛰⛰⛰Gimme it all! I knew I had a TON of work to do (and still do) but also, I’m the type of person who likes a challenge. Tell me I can’t do something and watch me, cause I will😜

It’s only January 20th and so far I’ve run more miles than each of these months individually last year: - April - May - June - July - August - December ...and it’s looking like I’ll surpass September too🤙🏼 and get reeealllly close to October and January😈 That’s 3/4 of 2019😳 Such a self-empowering feeling! Remember to only work towards becoming a better and stronger you, and to not try to “compete” with others because more monthly miles doesn’t mean faster or better. I usually don’t share specific monthly mileage as it’s different for everyone and our bodies, but man, this feels good! #StrongestSelf

I’ve mentioned before that running in 2019 was HARD. Thank you, stress😫 Paces I could run much more easily in 2018 were challenging and made me feel like I was sucking wind. As we progress into 2020, ⭐️I’m focused on not comparing current Elizabeth to the 2018 Elizabeth⭐️ I recognize I will get nowhere if I’m stuck in the past. I’ll get back there and feel 10x better than I did last winter & spring. I take more conscious efforts to slow down by doing yoga, reading, and cooking, and actually say “No” if I’m asked of something and cannot do it, don’t have the time, or simply don’t want to (this took me so long to do). But even though I feel better, I still have some work to do to get back to where I was just over a year ago and even stronger. I’m ready to put in the work and enjoy the ride😊💥 #StrongestSelf

What do you do when it feels like 1? Go for a run...duh.🏃🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️❄️

First tempo run of 2020 and my legs were like, “da fuq is this?!”🤣 Felt really good to get some faster miles in. Ready for a solid winter of training!❄️❄️❄️ 1 up, 3 tempo, 1 cool Lower body strengthening from @madeline_moves
